IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL RELATIONSHIP AND FAMILY OF ORIGIN THERAPY IN DALLAS AND TEXAS
Together we can better understand your deepest longings and fears, strengths and vulnerabilities, and leverage this newfound security and self-acceptance to motivate change.
I’ve got good news and bad news. We're wired for belonging and attachment to others. We feel our absolute best when our relationships feel healthy, fulfilling and safe, and immensely distressed when they’re not. Isolation and insecure relationships will always feel threatening.
Relationship and family of origin challenges can often look and feel like:
Feeling misunderstood, reactive, helpless or isolated
Suppressing feelings and needs or focusing more on what others feel, think and need
Relationships feel frustrating, strained or chaotic
The same unhealthy patterns follow you from one relationship to the next
Being overly critical of yourself and others
Being overly defensive and frequently shutting down
Longing for closeness but fear being controlled or being controlling
Avoiding or second-guessing yourself after conflict
How you show up in relationships, experience intimacy and closeness, manage conflict, etc. isn't by chance or fate. Your greatest vulnerabilities, fears and wounds are deeply embedded from past experiences and modeling, and are influencing how you feel about yourself, others and how we engage with the problems in our life.
You can build relationships and a life that feels safe, fulfilling and resilient.
I know you’re tired of finding yourself in the same painful experiences and patterns. Whether you've been carrying the weight of every relationship you’re in or pushing others away for fear of closeness, we can restore understanding and balance. You can build relationships and a life that feels safe, fulfilling and resilient, and therefore capable of managing whatever comes your way.
