Individual Counseling and Therapy
Psychotherapy can be a powerful and effective way to get perspective on your life, alter behavior patterns, and have your temperament and strengths work with you rather than against you. Whether you are struggling with feelings of anxiety, relationship or intimacy issues, or find yourself stumbling in a familiar way with emotions, transitions or work issues, taking the first step toward receiving support and guidance can be difficult, yet empowering. Using a supportive yet challenging stance, I will work with you to understand what is in your way, and we can develop a strategy to address the obstacles and patterns that are holding you back. I have respect for your unique experiences and perspective, and your issues will be given the space and attention they deserve. My practice focuses on supporting people who are interested in actively engaging in therapy to help them feel more present, connected, and authentic, and less stuck in unhealthy patterns. I work well with people who are both new to therapy and those that may have been to other therapists in the past and are looking for something new.
Couples
For couples who are feeling disconnected, lonely, or having the same conflict again and again, couples therapy is an important step in renewing openness, and defining a path forward for the relationship. Feel free to call or email to set up an initial appointment or discuss treatment services further.
Mindfulness Coaching
Is your life going well, but you still find yourself disconnected from it? Planning, making lists, 'getting through', but not feeling a sense of gratitude and connection? Mindfulness Coaching is an opportunity to deepen your experience in the present moment, gain an increased awareness of your reactions and habits of mind, practice having more direct contact with your senses and feel more awake emotionally.
