Individual Counseling
I listen carefully to your particular concerns, goals and preferences. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a personalized approach tailored to your needs. Together we can explore difficult issues and find compassion for the ways you might feel stuck in old, troubling patterns.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and genuine. I believe in honest feedback and working collaboratively with my clients. Often therapy sessions will focus on identifying the obstacles that get in the way of living the life you aspire to. I describe myself as eclectic, using a variety of psychological and behavioral approaches including psychodynamic, mindfulness and somatic. Sessions with me often explore the interplay between conscious and unconscious processes, shedding light on how past experiences, relationships, and emotions influence current behavior and thought patterns. By delving into the deeper aspects of the psyche, clients gain insight into unresolved conflicts that may be impacting their mental health and well-being. Through reflective dialogue and exploration of what unfolds in the present moment individuals can achieve greater self-awareness, leading to meaningful changes in their lives. Therapy in this way fosters a safe space for exploration and emotional growth, enriching the understanding of oneself and facilitating healthier relationships.
relationship counseling
I offer a supportive space for partners to explore and improve their relationship. Through guided conversations couples can address conflicts, enhance communication, and deepen their connection. I will help to navigate challenges, build trust, and develop strategies for a healthier, more fulfilling partnership. Whether you're newly together or have been in a long-term relationship, couples counseling can offer valuable insights and tools to strengthen your bond.
I primarily work from Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) lens. This is a therapeutic approach designed to help partners strengthen their emotional bonds and improve communication. By exploring underlying feelings and attachment needs, EFT allows couples to identify and understand their emotional patterns. This process fosters empathy and connection, enabling partners to express themselves more openly and effectively. Through guided sessions, couples work to enhance their understanding of one another, navigate conflict with compassion, and cultivate a more secure, supportive relationship. EFT is particularly beneficial for those seeking to break free from negative cycles and deepen emotional intimacy.,
