Whether you or your partner/spouse have been to a therapist before or this is your first time, welcome. I take an individualized approach to couples counseling and one-to-one therapy based on your specific circumstances. A good fit between client and therapist is important to the success of therapy. I'm happy to spend some time with you to answer questions and discuss my approach prior to you scheduling an initial appointment. We begin the process of meaningful change during our very first session.
Difficulties in relationship, marriage or family; with loss, employment, anger, intimacy, sexuality and/or addiction can bring painful symptoms (often of depression or anxiety) others may not grasp. These issues are often difficult to talk about- and at these times it's easy to feel misunderstood. Our work together is discreet and confidential. Throughout our time together I aim to fully understand your experience by listening without judgment, validating painful feelings and then helping you reach beyond what seems possible right now. Focusing on what is most important to you is essential to a strong working relationship, and a major factor in getting the most from your individual or couples counseling sessions.
An initial objective for us is to clarify what's going on and what relief would look like for you. Clarity continues as we explore current thoughts and feelings in the context of your whole life experience. As our work together progresses you'll begin to gain new awareness, flexibility in decision making, and a better understanding of yourself and people in your life. My general goal is to help you get back on the path of living in a personally meaningful and fulfilled way, and for you to feel more confident about creating and sustaining healthier relationships.
