Relationships

Humans are relationship-seeking beings and after food, shelter, and basic psychological safety, it is the relationships we choose that most determine the quality of our lives. That being said, the importance of relationships in our lives is crucial to our personal well-being. Have you recently ended a significant relationship that held great meaning for you or are you in a current relationship that you’d like to gain better understand of or develop new skills to be successful?  Often times, people don’t know where to start when they think about ways that they can better communicate with or relate to others. People need a space to process these relationships and can get exceptional value from developing these skills by utilizing therapy. One of the most overlooked relationship a person has is with themselves and gaining a better understanding of your own processes, values, and feelings enable a person to take a more confident approach to the way they live. Carl Rogers, one of the founders of Humanistic Theory, stressed the value of “getting to know your lifelong roommate (you).” A great number of my clients’ careers are in very high-stress industries in the Bay Area and benefit greatly from directly addressing the career fatigue that they experience and how that affects their lifestyle and relationships.
