My clients.

Couples.

We exist and thrive in relationships with others and create meaning around who we are through the lens of how we see ourselves in interactions. When we enter a relationship, we do so with our unique set of experiences, expectations, and needs. Sometimes, these needs and expectations clash or go unmet. Feelings and vulnerabilities related to past experiences might get triggered, and arguments spiral into escalations that can seem overwhelming and irreconcilable. In our sessions, I’d like to support you with addressing underlying issues, developing relational self-awareness, exploring new perspectives, and creating healthy patterns.

Individuals.

We are shaped by past experiences, relationships, and our environment. As we grow older, we start having increased control over the choices we make, which can feel liberating at times, but also confusing, stressful, and overwhelming. I want to provide a safe place for you to reflect on your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors and explore their connection to experiences in the past. In our sessions, we will work on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, and increase self-understanding and compassion. I want to provide you with an opportunity to re-create yourself by growing insight into your underlying motivations and driving forces. 

Families.

As a family, we are faced with changing dynamics and internal and external factors that impact our family’s function and health. As family members, we have a unique experience and perspective on the family’s problems. In my counseling sessions, I’d like to provide your family the opportunity to explore feelings and thoughts underlying relational issues, increase expression of difficult emotions to each other, develop problem-solving and coping strategies together, and to re-connect with the family’s strengths and resources.
