I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span from therapy for depression and grief counseling to parenting support, couples counseling and beyond. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs to help attain the personal growth they’re striving for.
Here are my frameworks for therapy.
Relationship Therapy for Individuals
Any relationship which feels stressed is a candidate for individual Systems Relational Therapy.
Any individual who would like new perspective of their current position and develop a happier re-alignment in a particular relationship, can accomplish this in my practice.
Whether the tension is with a family member such as a parent, sibling, grandparent, or anyone else with whom you are meaningfully connected, and regardless if the person is living or passed on, your therapy works to recognize and adjust your unique inner models of interacting.
Relationship Counseling for Couples
We will identify both the main fixed structure of the relationship, and the areas which for each partner are flexible and possible to change.
Our therapy discussions are for the partners to develop new ways to align both the fixed and the flexible components of the partnership in loving ways.
If you feel stress more often than not in your marriage.
If your friends know and understand you better than your partner.
If you prefer talking and being together with your friends more than your partner.
If you feel lonely, criticized, ignored, anxious, or depressed being together or talking with your partner.
Then consider learning more about what drives your relationship dynamics, in order to see what and how you are able to change about them.
Relationship Counseling for Families
Whether your family is currently at the child rearing phase, at the grown children phase, or you feel longstanding tension with siblings and extended family, therapy for the group of those who consider themselves connected enough to a family problem to care about it, is available.
The "Here we go again" button of repetitive patterns which accomplish nothing besides exhausting whoever is involved, are often dissolved into new ways of handling emotions, if concerned family members are in the same session with similar motivation to create a new outlook.
As family therapist to your family, I guide family members to recognize the effects of each one's contribution to sustaining the particular troubled dynamic.
Instead of, say, "if you weren't such a trouble maker and just listened to me...", both the impact of such presentation, as well as the intended purpose, are talked through.
Suddenly both family members in this dynamic recognize the hurt delivered by these aggressive words. And then new space opens for both people to talk more caringly with each other.
Two or more family members who are open to acknowledge and release hurt which may have a long history, can do so. Family therapy gives a new chance to love and feel loved.
