Individual Therapy – We all want to feel more fully alive, connected and whole. Using several psychotherapeutic approaches we may examine how past experiences shape current functioning, we can explore new options, and I will support you in developing greater self-awareness, freeing yourself from limiting patterns. Will use traditional talk therapy along with:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)
- EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy)
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
- Brainspotting
Couples
– All relationships require work and when you have found that you have grown apart, experienced a deterioration of communication and have stored resentment and feel distant to one another, you may want to consider couples therapy. My therapy is based on EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), a structured approach to couples therapy, developed by Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. Les Greenberg.
- EFT is usually a short term (10-20 sessions) approach
- Research studies find that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery with EFT
- EFT creates improvements for 90% of couples coming in for therapy
- In a relatively short time, couples begin to recognize and eventually express their needs for love, support, protection and comfort that are often hidden or disguised by self-defeating patterns of conflict.
- Clarify individual and relationship goals
- Increase emotional safety in the relationship
- Learn healthy communication skills and de-escalate conflict
