Being seen & being known by others. It's a deep longing. And also so scary! What if you told your friends how you were really doing? Your family about your wildest dreams? Or you partner how you feel beyond the surface? I help people lessen the fear & gain the power to build deeper, more meaningful connections. We do this in both couples therapy & one-on-one CBT. Through our work, you can learn to like yourself even when you have trouble seeing how others could. And you can learn how to step away from the self-judgment and judgement of others that gets in the way of loving ourselves and reaching for who or what is important to us.
Don't worry that we'll talk and you'll feel better for an hour but nothing will really get better. That's not good enough for me either. We'll make change in the session that leads to changes outside the session. We'll use Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy for couples of any gender or sexual orientation. I use CBT and ACT with one-on-one clients.
Even being known & seen by a therapist is scary. Pick whatever option makes it less scary: website, email, or by phone. You can even leave a msg without talking to anyone. Whatever format you use to contact me, you'll hear a friendly voice or receive an enthusiastic email back. I return every message and can't wait to meet you.
