Specializing in working with individuals and couples struggling with range of life's challenges
Individuals
Individual therapy centers around you: your goals, the obstacles affecting your happiness, your needs and hopes.
​
We often begin therapeutic process with focus on awareness. During this phase of therapy you can expect to talk about feelings, become aware of thought and behavioral patterns, identify family of origin dynamics, and articulate exactly how your specific patterns are having a negative impact on your life, relationships, and your ability to feel fulfilled.
Chances are, you've already tried to find solutions to your problems. Maybe you'd found short-term fixes or answers to some of your questions, but then the problem returned or worsened. You find yourself lacking fulfillment again.
In therapy we examine your past coping behaviors, determine what works and what doesn't, and develop new skills and coping strategies that lead to a happier, fulfilled life.
​
Finally, we look for the untapped resources within you that will allow for freedom from the negative forces holding you back. This is the exciting part! Change starts to happen. You will notice you think differently, you react to others with more assertiveness rather than aggression or passivity, your communication is clearer, and life is starting to go your way!
Couples
Couples therapy offers the opportunity to rebuild, rejuvenate, and rekindle a relationship. The goal is for both individuals to understand their partner’s feelings, needs, and wants, make amends, and declare new patterns of interaction.
​
In therapy couples learn how to keep relationships from deteriorating, with an emphasis on good listening and communication skills, conflict resolution, and sharing intimacy.
There is process and content. Most couples want to come to therapy to talk about all the content- who said what, where and when. Interestingly, if you took all the examples you could find a dance, feedback loop, or pattern of communication. It is that interaction that becomes toxic. Over time resentment builds and communication and mutual respect break down. In therapy we will focus on the process. We will identify that toxic pattern and find more productive ways to interact.
