Psychotherapy for Adults who Struggle in Relationships

 That sounds heavy, doesn’t it? But it also feels true for you. It’s hard to connect, find meaning, and trust in your relationships. Being an adult is hard, even when you’re doing your best. Your relationships—both with yourself and others—are a mess. Despite your best efforts, you feel lost. The chasm between where you are and where you’d like to be feels deep and wide. 

Sometimes you feel like you’re putting on a front. Your outsides don’t match your insides. You wonder what others would think if they knew the true you.  You feel alone and out of control. It’s like you are suffering in silence. 

Difficulty in relationships can show up in different ways:

  • Sabotaging success by creating chaos to throw you off-track. 

  • Abusing drugs or alcohol, contributing to relationship problems. 

  • Struggling with doubts around your faith and feeling isolated, like you can’t be 100% honest with others about your thoughts. 

  • Trying to be what you think others want you to be. 

  • Automatically thinking “something is wrong with me” if you don’t get the attention you want from someone. 

  • Misinterpreting someone’s behavior or thinking they’re always mad at you.

Before clients come to see me they wonder if therapy might be a waste of time. What if it isn’t different from the last time you were in therapy? What if this time doesn’t go any deeper? What if this therapist thinks you are too dramatic or complicated?  What if things never get better? The isolation feels unbearable.

Your past does not have to dictate your future. You deserve to understand the unhealthy parts of yourself and how they developed. Repairing relationships with others and yourself is within your reach, and retaining and sustaining relationships is in your power.  It is possible to restore parts of yourself that have been lost, and I’d love to help you get there. 

Call now. You don’t have to go through this alone.
