Individual & Couples Counseling
In my work, I offer empathic and creative therapy solutions for individuals and couples. I integrate different approaches to therapy depending on what is most beneficial to you, but my basic approach to psychotherapy remains strength based. In our united effort to create insight and action we will build upon your unique strengths rather than focusing on what is wrong. With the use of directness and compassion, I will help you identify the unconscious and misguided beliefs and behavioral patterns that limit you and hold you back from your fullest potential.
Couples sessions look at patterns of communication, rigidity, power balance and decision making. Issues such as finances, childrearing responsibilities, sexual intimacy, etc. will be explored and addressed. The concept of loving kindness toward self and each other is also practiced. Through loving kindness, you will be able to look at the relationship with honesty and gentleness.
