We frequently find ourselves engaging in self-defeating patterns or destructive relational cycles that leave us feeling unsatisfied. These complicated ways of engaging the world typically begin as solutions to challenging or traumatic circumstances. At times, what began as an effective coping strategy at an earlier stage of our lives is experienced as problematic in later stages. Together we will identify, assess, and challenge unhelpful patterns so that you can better understand the factors that contributed to their origins. This may provide validation and the opportunity to begin navigating life in ways that offer greater satisfaction.
