Entering into psychotherapy is a very big step. I congratulate you for your bravery. Perhaps you have had therapy before and are returning because it was so helpful to you. Maybe you have never talked to a counselor before but you know that you need the help of a professional. No matter who you are, you have something in common with the over 7 billion people on our planet....you experience anger, depression, anxiety, guilt, shame and a multitude of other painful emotions. In my work I use a warm, humanistic approach that you will find comforting and affirming.

Undeniably, I think one of the biggest challenges each of us faces is how to create a life that is fulfilling, meaningful, and authentic in a world that is hard and complicated. While I specialize in working with both men and women who are struggling with eating disorders, I also have experience working with people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, or other mood disorders, and with people who are just simply trying to find a better path both personally and professionally.

Partnered Relationship Therapy Intensives (PRTIs) at OCRSH are offered in half, full, two-day, or custom options and are designed for partners in monogamous and non-monogamous relationships who would like to make progress in a powerful, quick, and effective manner. Those who come to therapy to address difficulties in their partnerships often experience great frustration with traditional, hourly therapy in which change is much slower due to time constraints and life pressures. This intensive approach is designed to minimize barriers to change, as well as to employ a healthy, relational, and sex-positive approach to intimacy.

Clients come with a desire for change and willingness to take on a journey of self discovery. I support the client in entering this process in whatever way feels right for them. Individuals start by looking at family dynamics, life scripts and their personal thought process. I encourage clients to make deeper connections with their feelings as well as choices and impact on others. The task of my client is to uncover parts of themselves and to develop compassion for who they have been and who they are becoming.

I have been where you are. Suffering is a right of passage. The idea of sharing your thoughts and feelings with a stranger may seem odd at first, but when the therapeutic relationship is working, fear and pain become manageable and sometimes even fall away. Having problems can feel lonely and alienating, you deserve the opportunity to find an easier way. EXHALE…it will be ok:-) I have a relaxed approach with humor and an easy disposition. Unfortunately seeking help can be a burden in itself. Let’s talk for a session or 2 and see if there’s some resonance. Adolescents, Adults, Couples and Families, (thoughtful, high functioning).

Emotionally Focused Therapists
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an approach to therapy that helps clients identify their emotions, learn to explore and experience them, to understand them and then to manage them. Emotionally Focused Therapy embraces the idea that emotions can be changed, first by arriving at or 'living' the maladaptive emotion (e.g. loss, fear or shame) in session, and then learning to transform it. Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples seeks to break the negative emotion cycles within relationships, emphasizing the importance of the attachment bond between couples, and how nurturing of the attachment bonds and an empathetic understanding of each others emotions can break the cycles.
