{my approach & expectations}
I will count on you to play an active role in changing your life or relationship! Together we'll figure out what you want and what's keeping you from getting it.
My job is to listen, provide understanding, empathy and compassion. If necessary, I will ask the direct and difficult questions that need to be asked.
My approach is direct but also very compassionate & understanding. If you are looking for a therapist who will just sit by and offer support, we probably won't be a good match. However, if you are looking for someone who will challenge you, and offer direct feedback and empathy, contact me and we can meet for a free 20-minute consultation!
Family issues COUPLES or MARRIAGE COUNSELING is most effective when both partners come in together. Since the dynamic of your relationship is what I observe and work to help you change, it's best if both of you are willing to engage in the counseling process. I use strategies and techniques from various therapy and coaching disciplines. I focus a lot on communication and emotional intimacy and play a very active role in the couples therapy session.{individuals & couples}
Do you want to work on your relationship but your partner is hesitant or against the idea altogether? INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING can be helpful to better understand your relationship, what you contribute to the dynamic or why you stay with your partner when your needs aren't getting met.
Or maybe you're not currently in a relationship but wish you were, or feel you need to work on some of your own issues before trying to find a new relationship. Sometimes it's nice to focus on YOU for a change! I work with both women & men who are interested in working on their own personal growth. I typically work with individual clients on the following concerns:
What if my partner won't go?
This shouldn't stop you from coming in! I know how frustrating it is when you want to work on your relationship but your partner just won't budge. Sometimes, the partner who is more interested in counseling can make changes to the relationship on their own. Of course, it really depends on the issues that you're experiencing in your own personal relationship. Please don't hesitate to contact me and we can discuss whether or not it would be beneficial for you to come in on your own.
Couples issues I commonly work with include:
