Discover Interpersonal Therapy

Our interpersonal relationships influence who we are and who we become, both for the better and the worse. Relationships can be challenging to navigate, and not just in intimate or romantic settings.

 

Difficulties can arise in relationships with many people, related or not to you. A healthy perspective on these relationships is essential because they form a meaningful part of your life and can significantly impact your emotional well-being.

A good relationship therapist is essential in helping clients improve their psychological well-being, particularly when it comes to relationship difficulties outside of intimate or marital relationships. With empathy, patience, and skill, I will help you develop skills and strategies to better understand and navigate challenging relationships, and manage your emotional responses to stressors in your social life.

Anyone seeking greater well-being can benefit from therapy
to reduce stress and anxiety related to their relationships.

Discover my approach to relationship therapy

In my work, I use a range of interventions and modalities to help you improve your psychological well-being when it comes to interpersonal relationships. Usually, I utilize the following three following therapy approaches:

CBT

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to relationship difficulties.

DBT

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) emphasizes mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. It helps you navigate emotional regulation, effective communication and mindfulness to build healthier, more fulfilling relations with others.

Psychodynamic therapy aims to help you explore the unconscious dynamics that may be contributing to the relationship challenges. All of these can help you develop more effective ways of communicating your needs and emotions while also improving your ability to manage intense emotions.
