In Therapy, I provide cognitive and psychodynamic psychotherapy to treat depression, anxiety, trauma, relational, and other mental health problems. Individual therapy focuses on resolving painful emotions and dysfunctional behaviors, and Couples Therapy focuses on rebuilding friendship, rekindling intimacy, and creating healthy communication. Together, We will challenge how you see yourself and correct faulty thinking patterns that lead to difficult emotions and unwanted behaviors.
Life Coaching is different than therapy and counseling. the goal of life coaching is not to resolve mental health problems. Individual, couples, AND PROFESSIONAL COACHING FOCUs on personal and professional goals. coaching helps create individual and relational change, professional growth, and an increase in happiness and satisfaction. As a life coach, my job is to work with you on identifying goals and taking the steps necessary to achieve your Life or professional goals.
As a therapist, I provide a non-judgmental environment, allowing you to share your thoughts and feelings safely. Our work allows for personal growth and the ability to move beyond your current life challenges. I use a person-centered approach, which incorporates what is called “unconditional positive regard.” I accept and support you without Judgment. People are unable to grow and change in therapy if they believe the therapist is judging them and not accepting them as they are.
The Change Process
Within a person-centered approach, I provide cognitive therapy and psychodynamic psychotherapy. In Cognitive Therapy, we examine your core beliefs - what you believe about yourself deep inside - and how these beliefs cloud your thinking. As your thoughts impact your emotions, and your emotions drive your behaviors, therapy is life-changing. In psychodynamic psychotherapy, we examine past trauma and life experience to discover how they may impact how you see yourself today.
We will work to resolve the mental health problems you are struggling with, such as depression and anxiety. In therapy, we will focus on increasing your feelings of self-worth and on how To set healthy personal boundaries. In life coaching, we work to identify what is blocking you from reaching your Life goals. In marriage counseling and couples counseling, I provide a space to speak and hear each other openly. we will work on removing what is preventing you from living a happier, more satisfying Life.
On Marriage counseling - “Rebuilding your marriage requires a commitment to repairing a broken friendship and learning to listen to your partner. Are you both ready to commit to therapy and fixing your relationship?”
On building self-worth - “When your sense of self-worth IS dependent on things outside of yourself, such as financial success, your sense of self becomes unstable. this is called co-dependence and can be resolved in therapy. You can’t control what happens outside of yourself or the behavior of others, so Don’t define yourself by them.”
