Challenging Relationships

Are you struggling with challenging relationships, and don’t know how to handle them? Maybe you’re curious about setting boundaries, but don’t know where to start. Maybe you struggle with guilt or anxiety about the idea of speaking up more, but realize that something needs to change in these relationships.

I enjoy supporting people in navigating challenging relationships in their lives and in learning new skills to do so. Depending on your situation that may mean working on:

• Identifying your needs in relationships and learning how to communicate them 

• Boundaries, including learning to identify what boundaries you want and how to set them

• Conflict resolution skills

• Overcoming people-pleasing in order to have more balanced, mutually fulfilling relationships 

• Skills for listening and healthy compromise

• How to regulate your emotions in difficult conversations
