Indivdual Psychotherapy
Through individual therapy, I assist you in your healing process by using an eclectic approach that is unique to your needs. I use techniques that will support, encourage, challenge and empower you to reach your goals. I will help you better understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors impact your personal outcomes.I help clients sort through and transform experiences and feelings they struggle with, while also helping cultivate curiosity and awareness about who they are. Though we will maintain a focus on concerns that brought you into therapy, as we move further into the process we may find many valuable connections and emotionally impactful experiences that find their way into sessions. In these sessions (usually weekly), you determine the pace and depth, and I gently guide the process with attention to helping you safely navigate feelings and using our time together effectively.
Couples Therapy
Many couples find challenges emerge such as repetitive disagreements, disappointments,over time. Often couples experience difficulty in communication,and attempt to “change” each other, to satisfy emotional and physical disconnection with their partner. Often they each feel feel "misunderstood" by their love one. Most couples experience conflict, but how we deal with conflict is what really matters. Staying emotionally attuned, even when stressed, sad or angry, is how we maintain and repair the relationship.
In therapy, we work on communicating and understanding each partner’s perception of specific issues while also developing insight and sensitivity around each partner’s unique history of relationships, family issues, vulnerabilities and strengths.
Family Therapy
Families have their own system and sometimes its members, need assistance to work through difficult issues in a family context. Family therapy can be tremendously helpful for challenges that exist between adult family and children members , such as the impact of a mental or medical illness on the family, life transitions, communication problems, or working through past issues each family member brings to the table which impacts the group.Even if someone is in individual therapy, adjunctive family therapy with the same or a different practitioner can help with symptoms, communication, and support the family system.
