Relationship Counseling

"Are relationship struggles leaving you feeling hurt, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward?"

relationships, couples counseling

Relationships shape so much of how we see ourselves and move through the world. When they become strained, whether through conflict, miscommunication, or distance, they can leave us feeling unseen, confused, or alone.

 

At MF Therapy, PLLC, I offer a warm, collaborative space to explore relational patterns, process what’s not working, and move toward connection that feels safe, reciprocal, and real.

What Relationship Struggles Can Feel Like

  • Anxiety, conflict, or emotional distance in close relationships

  • Repeating the same painful dynamics in romantic, familial, or social connections

  • Struggles with trust, vulnerability, or setting boundaries

  • Difficulty asking for what you need or expressing your emotions clearly

  • Attachment wounds from early relationships or past trauma

  • Codependency, people-pleasing, or feeling like you lose yourself in relationships

 

Whether your challenges involve romantic partners, friends, family, or even your relationship with yourself, therapy can help bring clarity and connection.

What Is Relationship Therapy?

Relationship therapy supports you in making sense of your emotional world, exploring patterns of connection and disconnection, and building stronger, more fulfilling bonds.
 

My approach is:

  • Relational – Therapy itself is a relationship. Together, we explore how past relational experiences may be showing up in our work and in your life.

  • Attachment-Informed – Early attachment shapes how we relate today. We’ll explore your patterns with curiosity, not blame.

  • Collaborative & Empowering – I don’t offer one-size-fits-all advice. Instead, we work together to help you access your voice, set boundaries, and move through conflict with more choice.

  • Trauma-Informed – I recognize how past betrayal, emotional neglect, or loss can make intimacy and trust feel difficult.

Types of Therapy

Depending on your goals and experiences, relationship therapy may include:

  • Understanding your attachment style and emotional needs

  • Exploring how relational trauma shows up in current dynamics

  • Identifying patterns of conflict, avoidance, or over-functioning

  • Rebuilding self-worth after codependent or toxic relationships

  • Clarifying boundaries, roles, and expectations in partnerships

  • Developing more authentic, secure ways of connecting with others

Who Might Benefit?

  • Individuals feeling overwhelmed or disconnected in romantic relationships

  • People navigating high-conflict dynamics, separation, or life transitions

  • Those healing from emotional neglect, betrayal, or attachment wounds

  • Individuals in codependent, people-pleasing, or over-functioning roles

  • Adults exploring how early family patterns shaped their current relationships

  • LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, and culturally diverse clients seeking affirming care

Common Questions

Q: Can I come to relationship therapy alone?
A: Absolutely. Many clients begin this work individually to better understand their patterns, needs, and roles in relationships.

 

Q: Do you offer therapy for couples or partnerships?
A: I offer relationship therapy for individuals. If you're seeking couples counseling, I can offer referrals or explore whether couples counseling or individual relational work may support your goals.

 

Q: What if I don’t know what’s wrong, just that something feels off?
A: That’s okay. Therapy is a place to slow down, reflect, and make meaning of what you’re feeling, even if it’s hard to put into words.
