For 20 years, I have worked with individuals, partners, and families who are feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns. You may be in a family or relationship that is causing some distress in your daily life. Therapy may help to clearly identify where you are naturally motivated for change or not. Any suffering is a clue to identify our unmet expectations, our values being crossed, or simply a result of being a human in relationship to other humans. A wise person once said, "We all belong and are worthy of love just as we are, and there is room for improvement!"
I have advanced training in Relational Health, Medical Family Therapy, Estrangement/Cut-off, Divorce Discernment Counseling, Sexual Health, Gestalt, Nonviolent Communication, Anti Bias, and Buddhist Psychology.
Seeking out help is brave. Taking a risk on your own behalf is one facet of mental health and self-differentiation. If you find a time on my online calendar for a free consult via Zoom or phone call, I can answer any other questions may have about therapy.

These are the main issues I can help you with, the feeling of being stuck in a habit (worry, sadness, anger, etc), the fear of taking a step in a different direction, and the stress of change in relationships. A typical treatment plan may involve setting goals, collaborating on what a good outcome would look like, and creating experiences in sessions that increase your felt sense of well-being.

I focus my attention on how comfortable people are knowing what they hope for themselves and others, how well they effectively can listen and feel understanding/be understood, and how they manage reactivity in themselves and others. I often use grounding techniques, to help slow down the automatic patterns, and work to increase awareness in session, through some teaching, humor, and nonjudgement.
