Individual psychotherapy
Together through regularly scheduled weekly or biweekly 50min sessions, we can begin an honest, mindful exploration of your thoughts, feelings, fears, sensations, needs and experiences and come to understand your distress. My training has been informed by Self psychology, Affect theory, Attachment theory, Interpersonal psychoanalysis, and Emotionally-Focus therapy. Over time you will become more conscious of coping patterns and themes in your life and develop the ability to function and feel at the same time. This sense of self worth and resilence leads to the ability to experience the richness of your life, feel inspired, the ability to make clear decisions, and very importantly have the capacity to be close to others.
Couples Therapy
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is a widely recognized and studied model of therapy for couples. In our sessions we will come to understand your communication patterns that may be happening over and over and possibly causing distress. We will look at painful trigger points, what underlies them, diffuse conflict, and develop more positive patterns of communication. This then allows for renewed closeness, caring and a safe structure to work through any larger, contentious, unresolved issues from the past.
