Relationship Therapy
What to Expect
At Sunrose Therapy, I welcome individuals of all relationship structures, including monogamous, non-monogamous, and polyamorous arrangements, as well as those of all sexual orientations and gender identities. In our couples and relationship therapy sessions, you can expect a safe, empathetic, and confidential space to explore your relationship dynamics, communication patterns, and emotional connections. Using the principles of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), we'll delve into how negative interaction patterns may be impacting your relationship, and collaborate to develop new, more adaptive ways of communicating, connecting, and navigating conflicts.
Through our work together, you'll gain:
Greater awareness of your emotional experience and how it impacts your relationship
Tools to identify and challenge negative interaction patterns
Strategies to cultivate emotional intimacy, empathy, and understanding
Enhanced communication skills and conflict resolution strategies
A deeper sense of connection, trust, and commitment
Ultimately, this journey will empower you to develop a more fulfilling and resilient relationship, equipped with effective communication strategies and a profound understanding of each other.
