If you’ve landed here, you may be going through a distressing time or feel “stuck” in your journey. Perhaps…
- You struggle to manage your emotions
- You feel a lack of connection in your relationships
- You have a strong inner critic that constantly judges you
- You experience persistent and sometimes overwhelming anxiety
- You can’t seem to do the things you really want to do
- You feel “polarized” by different parts of yourself
- You have forgotten what joy feels like
- You may be using substances or engaging in behaviors to numb the pain
- You feel the impact of past traumas and emotional burdens
As we begin our work together, I create a safe, non-judgmental space in which we begin to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship, a key component of any healing process. As we continue, we identify the issues that challenge you in the present and explore how they may relate to the emotional burdens or traumas of the past.
You can expect me to be:
Attuned to you – each session we identify the issues or parts of you that need attention
Accepting and Compassionate – I welcome all “parts” of you and help you to form compassionate relationships with all aspects of yourself
Transparent – I will always explain what you can expect from our work together
Accountability – I check in regularly to ensure that our work remains relevant to you and your goals.
You do not have to take this journey alone. I’m here to walk with you.
Couples
I understand how painful it is when you feel “stuck” in your relationship – caught in destructive patterns that leave you feeling alone and isolated even when living under the same roof. You wonder if you can find your way back to each other. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a highly effective, evidenced based couples therapy based on attachment theory, I help you to understand how your attachment style creates patterns that cause you to be reactive with one another, resulting in high levels of distress. Once we identify your style and understand the patterns, we then learn how to build safety and strength in the relationship so that you can access and share your emotions and needs with one another, creating a deeper and more meaningful connection. I will help you to learn the skills to create a climate of emotional safety so that you’ll navigate life’s challenges on the same “team” and learn to experience joy once again.
I also use EFT (and IFS) to help individuals who are struggling with other relationships – parent/child, siblings, friends.
