Relationship Issues

Relationships are not necessarily easy. Whether they are romantic relationships or ones with friends, spouses, and family, they all have their ups and downs. During times of stress some individuals look for support from loved ones. They may unintentionally overwhelm their family and friends with their problems. Meanwhile, others push those they love away when life get rough. They may blame people around them for their struggles. These relationships might become tainted by lies, deceit, and secrets.

Danielle Jagoda, Marriage and Family Therapist, helps individuals, couples, and families in need of mending broken or damaged relationships. She assists those in psychotherapy to develop relationships based on trust and honesty. Communication skills and listening skills are taught and enhanced. The importance of balance, compromise, and “choosing one’s battles” are discussed throughout psychotherapy. The dynamic of a typical pursuer / distancer relationship is examined. Danielle also helps clients create beneficial relationships by exploring way rules, roles, and boundaries need to shift. Over time, healthy relationships are better established.
