What if I don’t know what to talk about in therapy?

It’s completely normal to feel unsure about what to talk about at first. Many people come to therapy with a sense that something isn’t quite right but are not sure how to articulate it. That’s where I come in—my role is to help guide the conversation. We can start by talking about how you’ve been feeling in your day-to-day life, any recurring thoughts or patterns, or challenges you’re facing. Sometimes, simply reflecting on your past week or sharing your experiences is enough to begin opening up deeper layers. Over time, you may find that as the therapeutic relationship deepens, your clarity about what to address becomes clearer.

Why should I talk about my relationships in therapy?

Our relationships are a mirror to our inner worlds. The way we relate to others—whether it’s our partner, family, or friends—can reveal patterns that influence how we see ourselves and navigate life. Talking about your relationships in therapy allows us to explore these patterns in a safe, non-judgmental space. Whether you're looking to improve communication, navigate conflicts, or heal from past hurts, understanding these dynamics is key to emotional healing and growth. Relationships are often where our deepest wounds and greatest joys arise, and by exploring them, we can gain valuable insight into our own needs, desires, and how to cultivate more fulfilling connections.

What is the difference between 1:1 counseling and relationship counseling?

1:1 counseling is focused on you as an individual. It’s an opportunity to explore your own thoughts, emotions, and personal growth—whether it’s dealing with anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, or just navigating life’s ups and downs. It’s deeply personal, tailored to your unique experience, and all about your individual healing.

Relationship counseling, on the other hand, involves working with couples (or partners) to explore the dynamics between them. It’s about understanding how each person contributes to the relationship, uncovering patterns, improving communication, and addressing shared struggles. In relationship counseling, the goal is to create a deeper understanding and strengthen the bond between two people, whether that’s resolving conflicts, rediscovering intimacy, or simply learning how to communicate more effectively.
