For some, therapy can be a difficult step. I attempt to create a relaxed safe environment with empathy, compassion and humor to help you improve your mood, relationships and create a satisfying life.
Couples Counseling
Bring back the fun, connection and intimacy in your marriage. You don’t have to suffer and feel stuck in your relationship. In couples counseling, I can help you learn the tools and habits for you to create the marriage you want. Increase positive communication and get rid of angry arguing. Learn how to build a relationship of mutual love admiration and support. Find out how to talk about problems that effect your relationship without blame, name-calling, contempt, manipulation, and acting out in anger.
My goal is to help you build a great marriage or relationship. I keep up on counseling techniques that are tested and work!
Individual Counseling
In an environment of empathy, compassion and humor, you can improve the effects of complex trauma, abuse, let go of anger, self-doubt, and explore meaning and create more fulfillment in your life. One to one we can work to improve your mood, emotional regulation, anger management, resolve trauma, uncover thoughts and beliefs or triggers that cause debilitating emotions. Learn to overcome negative thoughts that interrupt that success and enjoyment of life. Without giving up who your are, you can change the way you feel and learn to make choices that improve your relationships.
Mindfulness
One of the most important aspects to my current practice has been bringing mindfulness into the treatment. Studies show that a Mindfulness practice can increase emotional regulation, improve social interaction and develop a sense of life satisfaction. Mindfulness is a skill that allows you to stay aware and present in this moment and avoid the pain of negative thoughts of your past and future.
Not a religion, or a cult, Mindfulness is simply an easy and practical way to get a perspective and gain control of yourself. The best news of all is that it is easy to learn, but the hard part is remembering to use the skill. Practice, practice, practice and watch how other respond to the new you. Can you imagine an argument with your partner, boss or friends where you don’t allow your emotions to run away with you?
