is psychotherapy for you?

As your psychotherapist I will be your mirror, one where you see yourself as I do. With a more realistic and loving eye, I help you focus on your goals and work to accomplish them through conversation, in-session exercises and home practice. By examining your thoughts and behaviors, and by learning new, supportive practices, you will gain the insight and tools to build a life the way you want it to be.

Learn to:

• Reduce anxiety, depression and stress
• Improve communication with family members, friends and co-workers
• Enhance self-image, self-esteem and overall sense of well-being
• Disrupt negative, distorted thoughts
• Create positive, realistic thoughts
• Diminish the effects of phobias
• Establish love and intimacy with the important people in your life
• Experience happiness, freedom, wellness and love.

As a certified Imago Couples Therapist, I am trained to help you and your partner reconnect in a safe environment. Together we come to understand why you chose each other, how you and your partner can actually heal each other, and become the couple you’ve always wanted to be. Sometimes we need help to separate in a loving, respectful way. 

We also learn the same skills as couples who stay together:

• Communicate responsibly, listen intently and be heard powerfully
• Work through conflict and grow stronger
• Re-establish trust, love and intimacy
• Make requests, negotiate and have your needs met
• Develop deeper appreciation for and understanding of one another
• Enjoy each other’s company

Incorporating the family systems model, every person plays an important role in a family. Learn how you fit into your family and how you can make a difference in the happiness and harmony of your home life. 

I work with parents and children to:

• Improve communication
• Resolve conflicts and reduce arguing
• Improve listening and understanding
• Heal old emotional wounds
• Create a foundation of love and trust
• Establish respect
• Work through challenging situations
