My Approach to Helping

Are you tired of feeling the pain of struggling relationships?

You're not alone, I'd like to help!

Counseling for singles can help you find emotional freedom and relationships you?ve always wanted?

Couples Counseling or Marriage Therapy can help you rediscover the relationship you use to have, what brought you together?

Have you ever wondered:
"Why do I find more pain in relationships than pleasure?"
"Can I ever find happiness in a relationship?"

If so, you are certainly not alone!

You and I both know relationships change, and sometimes they don?t feel good. Individuals and couples, both find that these struggles present questions that may go unanswered for years. Never finding those answers may lead to unhappiness and an unfulfilling relationship or marriage.

You may be in a relationship or you may be single. Either way, you"re likely to be tired of trying to figure "it all out" and never feeling like you really understand what has gone wrong. Maybe you're clinging to a relationship because you fear being alone, or if something doesn't feel right you run for the hills.

Regardless of the situation, you seem to be repeating the same patterns and come out feeling the pain of a failed relationship.

You're ready to find a relationship that doesn't make you feel this way.

Maybe you feel like:
-Your constant fighting never get's resolved
-You blow up at the littlest things
-When you do resolve the fight, it seems like there's another one waiting to blow up again
-You don't feel like you can get over the resentment that's been building
-You're intimacy with each other has never been this bad
-The anger just doesn't go away any more
-You feel hurt but don't know how to tell your partner
-You start to question the closeness of others

Do you relate to any of the feelings above? Is so, keep reading

Freedom from the broken patterns and hurt feelings is just around the corner.

HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN HAVE THROUGH RELATIONSHIP COUNSELING:

-Freedom from destructive patterns
-Closeness with each other
-Mutually shared and enjoyed trust
-Conflict resolutions that are both productive and fulfilling
-A shared purpose with each other
-A deeper love you felt you could find before
-Restored intimacy and understanding

Finally, you don't have to go through this alone. There's someone who will listen to the way you want to be heard.

Being trained in many forms of counseling and psychotherapy, I know how important is to:
-Listen empathetically and openly
-Listen without judgment, accepting you for who you are
-Walk along side you through your entire journey
-Gently encourage you to continue taking another step, even when you feel like you can't go on.

For some, this may come as a surprise. My role isn't to tell you where you're wrong, or what your issues have been in the past, rather, my role is to aid you in choosing a new direction to finally find freedom and joy in you life.

If you want to finally move beyond the pain you've been going through, consider therapy with me and make an appointment today.

More Info About My Practice

I am an interactive, solution-focused therapist. I believe in a collaborative process between my clients and myself. I draw from a cognitive, physical and emotional understanding of the therapeutic process. I believe clients are a leader in developing their therapeutic goals. I believe the therapistâs role is to assist and serve as a support to help them identify their goals and possible solutions for the desired outcome. I use some techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Psychology, Psychotherapy (past experiences that affect the present), experiential techniques (art, sand play and play therapies), and education. I strive to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges.

My goal, as a solution-focused therapist, is to foster a relationship that uncovers your potential to celebrate your life. We are all faced with challenging situations from our past, many that we canât seem to change, but we can work together to better understand ourselves and resolve current hurdles in our lives. By utilizing therapies that compliment each other, various approaches and techniques, we will discover perpetuating behaviors and distortions that might be preventing you from enjoying your life and finding meaning.
