Relationship Therapy in Atlanta
Build stronger, healthier connections.
Understanding Relationship Challenges
Relationships can bring out the best in us—but they can also bring up our deepest insecurities, fears, and unmet needs. Whether you’re struggling with recurring conflict, emotional distance, or the lingering impact of past relationship wounds, it’s common to feel stuck in patterns that you don’t quite know how to change.
Sometimes we find ourselves repeating the same arguments, feeling unheard or unappreciated, or withdrawing to avoid more tension. These struggles can show up in romantic partnerships, friendships, or family dynamics. While relationships are meant to nurture and support us, they can also become sources of pain and confusion when communication breaks down or emotional needs go unmet.
How Therapy Can Help With Relationship Issues
Therapy provides a space to slow down, reflect, and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface of relationship conflict. Together, we can look at the patterns that emerge—what triggers them, where they come from, and how they can shift.
Through insight and practical skill-building, therapy can help you:
Communicate more clearly and effectively
Understand emotional triggers and attachment needs
Set healthy boundaries without shutting down connection
Rebuild trust and intimacy after hurt or disconnection
By exploring your own relational history and attachment style, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how you show up in relationships—and how to create the kind of connection that feels safe, mutual, and fulfilling.
Why Work With Me
For more than 20 years, I’ve helped clients navigate the complexities of human connection—whether that means healing after relational trauma, improving communication in partnerships, or finding more balance in caregiving and family roles. My approach draws from interpersonal, psychodynamic, and emotionally focused therapies, integrating both insight and action.
Clients often describe our work as both compassionate and challenging. I’ll help you identify unhelpful patterns while fostering curiosity about what drives them. From there, we’ll practice new ways of relating—building empathy, assertiveness, and trust in yourself and others.
Healthy relationships don’t just happen; they’re built with intention. I can help you create the conditions that make growth and closeness possible again.
