Relational Therapies, PLLC

Understanding ourselves requires courage. Each of us have shame, pain, and broken relationships. At times it can feel overwhelming to face these places in our lives alone. Counseling offers a safe, confidential, and relational space for you to come and understand what has/is happening in your life. My hope is that you may understand yourself better and come to trust yourself. As you care for yourself, you will find that forging safer, healthier, and more satisfying relationships with others is possible. I am a trained relational psychotherapist; I work with adolescents and adults in the Fargo/Moorhead area. Relational psychotherapy means that I believe there’s an underlying reason why you do what you do. So, while I may address symptom alleviation, I work with you to understand why a certain behavior is needed to make you feel safe and secure, and to explore how that safety can be established in other ways. In therapy, you learn to identify your thoughts and feelings, becoming aware of relational patterns and environments provoking emotional reactions. Therapy helps you understand self-destructive habits that may be keeping you in a cycle of pain. My hope for our work is that you experience a trusted relationship that leads you to a deeper sense of wholeness.
