My Approach to Therapy

If I could say one to couples who are considering therapy, don't wait. If your patterns are uncomfortable, painful, and unsuccessful enough to be here browsing, it's time to do something different. Relational patterns have low points, and then a "feeling better" period, and then the dip again. Let's change that cycle and do something different. Together we will identify the pattern, the highs and lows, and why they are happening to take away the power the cycle has over you both. We will work on learning to find the words to clearly express yourself so your partner can finally understand, enhance listening skills, learn to better support one another, reduce defensive responses and actions, develop conflict resolution, and learn how to really apologize and repair any ruptures. For those who have gotten to the point that they have considered separationdivorce, I offer Discernment Counseling. This helps to decide if you want to and are ready to lean in and work on couple's therapy. You can learn more about how this service works on my website. We can work together in couple sessions, or individually on your own goals. We can focus on the present pattern and include the past that can sneak in and influence behavior without you even knowing it. I am formally trained in several impactful modalities, including spiritual interventions if you feel that integration is meaningful to you. The counseling process is a collaboration with you to find what works for your best outcome. I often assign between-session reflection questions or experiments to practice new behavior to keep the momentum going between sessions. Im so glad youre searching for something that can help you. If you have tried counseling before and it didn't get you the outcome you wanted, let's discuss that and do it differently this time. I hope you take that next step and make contact. Lets schedule a free consultation to talk about what you are looking for and discuss scheduling. Now seeing clients virtually in North Carolina and South Carolina.

Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist

This work is difficult and can be made more so if you have a challenging relationship with your therapist. Find a therapist you feel you can connect with, trust, be open with, or at least feel you can give them that chance. Even consult with a few to evaluate your best fit. Ask questions and share something about yourself that may be important for you to know how a therapist feels about that topic. Remember that as therapists we are providing a service, so you get to tell us what you like, and what you don't like! We need to know those things so we can adjust accordingly to give the process an optimized chance at a successful outcome. Good luck in your search and don't give up!
