In your therapy," I WON'T JUST SIT AND NOD." I'll be an active participant in your therapy. I specialize in individual, couple, family and addiction therapy from anxiety, depression to relationship challenges. I can help with a blend of warmth, compassion, guidance utilizing workable tools in a safe therapeutic milieu. I'll support you to identify, explore, and work through those scary, but telling truths. Your truths! Not thoughts and behaviors that you've lived that keep you emotionally stuck, tied to your history, and in pain! Let's work to leave behind patterns of dis-ease, discovering an empowered, real and wonderful YOU!
In individual therapy, I'll guide you from your past or living what's familiar and dysfunctional to empowerment. Couples can utilize my experience by learning who is doing the communicating, the angry inner child and/or rebellious teenager, learning to dialogue as healthy adults without shame and blame.
Look, there's the truth as you've seen and believed for years and then there's your deepest, darkest (and lightest!) truths that we'll uncover and explore together in therapy. Read Nicole Sach's book, The Meaning of Truth". This book and our therapy can be life changing and life sustaining!
