Justine Soto, LPC, LMHC

I am an experienced relationship and couples therapist. I am dedicated to helping women and couples in their mid to late 20's and older create healthy boundaries that support you and your relationships.

Have you ever found yourself thinking: "I can't get past feeling stuck." "I feel pressure to make a decision." "I'm terrified. The idea of starting over is crippling." "Something has to change." "I don't know where I'm going." "What if I end up alone?"

These are all common thoughts and fears that people say to themselves. Life may not look the way you expected it to. Breakdowns in communication and conflict are starting to feel like the norm. You may know what you are contributing to the cycle of anger and conflict but are finding it hard to break out of it.

We all have expectations about how relationships should work and when reality falls short, it can create the perfect storm of resentment, disappointment and anger. Most of us didn't grow up watching healthy conflict resolution. We tend to ignore things or react impulsively. Without learning productive romantic communication skills how can we be expected to have healthy relationships?

Together we can start identifying new ways to relate to others. At times, I will challenge your experiences to help process what is at the root of some of your challenges. The goal will be to build comfort, clarity and regain control. You will leave each session with a clear goal for your upcoming week to better improve your communication and attachment style. Over time, these small 'tweaks' and homework assignments will build up to big changes.

Invest in yourself, invest in your relationship, invest in your future.
