About
Are you frustrated that your values and faith system does not align with how you have lived your life? Do you feel uniquely tied down by your life circumstances? Do you lack motivation and your goals perpetually out of reach? Are your relationships a source of frustration rather than joy? Do you feel unable to win at life or have lost your meaning and purpose? Do you feel like you don't have control over your thoughts and actions? In therapy we will examine how your past is influencing your present and use various tools including EMDR to break unhelpful patterns and create new more helpful ones. In the case of relationship struggles we will replace the negative interactional patterns that are crippling your relationships with more healthy patterns using the Gottman Model. Perhaps you have wondered if therapy can help but something has always held you back. Or maybe you have tried it, and nothing changed. In life timing is everything. If your frustration with how things are now exceeds any fear of change, then this may be the perfect time for us to talk. Specialties: I work with client who are plagued with anxiety, depression and a lack of meaning and self worth. We will look at how the past is showing up in your life and how a new hopeful future is possible, no matter what you have gone through. I also work with couples on the verge of divorce come back from the brink with new perspectives and skills for relational success.
"In our first session, we will explore the reasons for your seeking therapy and the key influences on your life. Treatment will include addressing intergenerational issues, attachment issues, meaning systems, trauma history, and automatic thoughts and emotions that prevent you from reaching your goals. For couples we will use the Gottman Method to remove toxicity and move to relational wholeness."
