We are designed to be in connection with others.
We are not meant to be alone. Relationships are vital to our physical and mental well-being. This is why relationship distress can feel so overwhelming. Whether you are experiencing challenges with a partner, family member, co-worker, friend, or someone else, I can help.
Pain that is caused in relationship is healed in relationship.
We subconsciously seek what is familiar, even when we know it is not healthy. This is why some people find themselves in similar situations over and over again. I help clients understand their patterns, become aware of the root causes of their symptoms, and work toward healing.
Working through an attachment lens, I use the therapeutic relationship to create a corrective emotional experience that can help clients develop secure, healthy attachment. I also teach skills such as setting boundaries and healthy communication.
The relationships we have with others affect the relationship we have with ourselves.
When others treat us poorly, we are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and other mental health concerns. Whether you are coming to counseling individually or as part of a couple or family, I will help you improve the relationship you have with yourself. In turn, this can improve your ability to build healthy relationships with others.
Healthy relationships are possible.
I work with issues such as communication, infidelity, self-esteem, betrayal trauma, emotional abuse, family conflict, blended families, grief, forgiveness, perfectionism, self-harm, and codependency. I offer individual, couples, and family counseling sessions. When working with relationship issues, I primarily use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), while also incorporating Gottman Method and other approaches into treatment.
