The service I provide is a working relationship built on honesty, trust and collaboration. It is an opportunity for you to resolve your difficulties, move toward achieving your personal goals and more deeply understand yourself in a safe environment.
My clients and I engage in a joint effort toward achieving the changes they desire in life through:
Individual Psychotherapy
Individual counseling facilitates the exploration and resolution of your personal problems or relationship issues according to your specific needs or to increase your feeling of satisfaction in life. People engage in individual counseling or psychotherapy since the process involve revealing deep thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to share with others. Part of the process is exploring unresolved issues that get triggered which result into negative feelings, as well as positive aspects of yourself which you may have forgotten or are not aware of in the present. I will help you develop skills to cope with your negative feelings and relationship difficulties. A deeper understanding of your self is a focus of the therapeutic process that allows you to increase your self confidence and ability to manage the challenges you encounter in life. The overall goal is for you to begin making positive changes in your personal life.
Couples Counseling
The focus in couples counseling is the relationship between you and your partner. You may seek couples counseling to resolve relationship issues, feel closer to one another, prepare for marriage, regain trust or cope with events that have impacted both of you. While either of you may be experiencing specific problems, the focus is on resolving relationship issues. Part of the process is developing awareness of unresolved issues you have individually and how these are triggered during disagreements with your partner, as well as the strengths you both have as a couple. We will explore and develop skills for you to apply to improve your relationship which include learning how to communicate more effectively with reduced negativity and blaming. Learning how to deal with future issues or difficulties you may both encounter as a couple or family is also part of our work in sessions.
