THE TIME TO INVEST IN YOUR WELLNESS IS NOW.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is a form of therapy in which the client is treated on a one-on-one basis with a therapist. Individual therapy helps a single person work through personal issues which negatively impact your daily life and goals. Together we will discuss your goals and agree together on your treatment direction. Your voice and participation are welcome and important in the work we do together.

Assisting people find their happier and more content selves.

Some common reasons for seeking therapy are:

  • Improve healthy relationships: with partners, peers, family, business colleagues

  • Improve healthy communication and conflict management skills - are you voicing and getting your needs met?

  • Manage life transitions - job changes, retirement, work culture, illness

  • Increase awareness and sense of self - does your outward self match your internal self?

  • Are you emotionally intelligent? Find out now and level up your capacity with EQ assessment and coaching.

  • Reduce the intensity of triggers, stressors, emotions and challenges, have you let go of the past?

  • Understand and manage how you allow symptoms of Depression and Anxiety to get in your way.

  • Increase motivation and purpose while planning your present and future goals

  • Learn how many choices you really have - and create the life you really want.

Couples/Marriage Therapy 

Couples/Marriage Therapy works with two people who have created an interdependent relationship. I have been specializing in couples work for 20 years and feel that it’s a great way to strengthen, understand and have a more connected marriage or relationship. A couple doesn’t need to have conflict in order to benefit from couples therapy.

How can Couples Therapy help? Couples therapy begins as an awareness discussion to identify your presenting struggles, learn your strengths, and understand what you are hoping to gain through therapy.

Couples can deepen their partnership by better learning about stages of relationships, understanding differences, navigating personal space, cultural values and differences, knowing someone is right for them, understanding control loops.

Pre-marital work is the ideal way to proactively start your marriage in a healthy and engaged way, navigating the first few years together, balancing family dynamics vs. your marriage needs, and addressing new challenges and transitions that impact a couple’s environment and energy along your collective life paths.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for both individuals where each is heard and respected. There is no bias, no taking sides and no agenda on my part other than improving your happiness and connectedness. Each voice is welcome and invited throughout our work together.

We live in a world where getting along with others and relationships are a foundational factor in all that we do.

I am 100% confident, that just participating in the assessment and the debriefing session to learn more about your strengths, will change your perspective in a powerful way.

EMDR I am an EMDRIA approved EMDR Therapist and passionate about the benefits and outcomes using this modality. EMDR is a research based integrative psychotherapy framework that helps with healing trauma (past or present) or address negative narratives which may be impacting your life no matter how much you try to change cognitive process. It is Not talk therapy. EMDR uses the natural healing ability of your brain, using one or more forms of bilateral stimulation (using both sides of your brain) to access and reprocess the un-stored trauma memories. The goal is to reprocess those trauma memories into more adaptive feelings and thoughts, which reduces the intensity of triggers and how those trauma memories live in your brain.

Contact me to see if EMDR is the right fit and timing for you.

Our partnership in your EMDR Treatment Planning

Clients often bring to our initial conversation about EMDR, a range of experiences which may or may not have been helpful to them. I am happy to hear that so many are benefitting from the value and power of EMDR which uses your brain to heal. It is quite impressive to see how your own brain can bring you to recovery and a more adaptive and happier life.

I always invite a conversation if you have not had a good experience as every therapist works differently and each client is unique. It’s important that the approach with you specifically is based on your trauma history and your needs. That can sometimes be overlooked which might lead you to believe that you failed or you did something wrong. I encourage you to understand what it is before you decide “it didn’t work” if that is your situation. This partnership is about your wellness, your safety and your comfort level and you will be informed and involved in the process every step of the way. There is no pressure, judgement nor timeline. We start where you are and move forward at your pace.

If you feel that EMDR might be right for you and you want to know more, please contact me to discuss your individual needs. I look forward to hearing how I can help you.
