Romantic Relationships
Romantic relationships are so unique. You have a partnership and physical and emotional intimacy with your significant other/s that you don’t have with anyone else. Transitions can occur within the romantic relationship or getting out of it. Within it, you might be transitioning into a new phase of the relationship such as becoming long-distance, moving in together, getting engaged, adjusting to marriage, and more. Other times, the transition is a break up, broken engagement, or divorce. Everybody’s emotional experience is different with any kind of big relationship change and I am here to help you process and effectively move through yours.
Friendships
Friendships are very special. They can provide you with support, connection, encouragement, care, fun, and a sense of belonging. However, you are on your own individual path and unfortunately, your individual path isn’t always going to run parallel to every friend you’ve ever made. Everyone grows differently, and it is a beautiful thing when you grow with your friends, and even enhance your friendships as time goes on. Sometimes, though, growing differently means growing apart, whatever the reason for this is. It can be difficult to be at a crossroads of valuable memories that you share with someone and a recognition that this friendship might no longer serve you. I am here to support with you gaining clarity on this and getting through whatever change you decide is right for you.
Families
Every person’s experience with their family is different. Families vary in size, emotional closeness, geographical proximity, and more. Family dynamics also change overtime. You may be at a point with a family member where you are looking to set boundaries and create more distance. You may be looking to cultivate a strong bond with a family member that hasn’t previously existed. Your role in the family may be changing where, now, you need to take care of a parent and/or sibling in a way you never had to before. Regardless of which type of transition you are experiencing with your family of origin, I am here to help you navigate through and cope with it.
Passing of a Loved One
If you are reading this section because a loved one of yours passed away, I am so sorry. This person being gone is one of the only things in life that is permanent and it can be so hard to deal with this fact. It is said that grief is love with no place to go. This person being physically gone from the world does not detract from the love you still have for them and the desire you have to talk to and see them. The goal is not for us to shrink your grief, but rather to help you grow around it while always preserving the special place this person holds in your heart.
