The initial consult is very important in helping us both begin to understand if we are the right fit for this therapeutic relationship.
Experience the magic of support!. I believe that within each of us there is a source of wisdom and light that we can tap into by letting go of negative/limiting beliefs and feelings about ourselves. I treat individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, co-dependency, low self esteem, or need guidance to find a new direction in their lives. Depending on what is best for each client, I utilize EMDR, cognitive behavioral technqiues, relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and insight oriented psychotherapy. I am interactive and give feedback during the sessions. I don't believe in just saying "and how do you feel about that".

The goal is to feel at ease, to want to come to sessions and to explore unaddressed emotions, improve the ability to cope, and manage conflicts that prevent us from finding a balance.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
