Relationships are not JUST couples. I work with all kinds of relationships. And siblings. And business partners. And lovers.
Relational therapy does not have to be a "forever commitment." Sometimes people just need a "tune up". I work from a solution focused frame and approach relationship therapy as a brief intervention. It could just be a few sessions with an optional check up at a later date.
At our cores, we know our true wants and needs but, we may not be consciously aware of them. Defensive and destructive patterns from our past can be getting in the way. Therapy is an opportunity to look at your current thoughts and behaviors, appreciate what is working for you, and change what is not.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction, particularly among highly creative individuals. I also see couples, often those exploring nonmonogamy, or repairing infidelity. I don't have a map, but we'll face the unknown together. And as we tap into spontaneity, creativity and our connection, you will find your way.
I believe the relationship between therapist and client should be warm, caring, collaborative, informative and inspiring. I am trained in EMDR and use DBT skills in my work. With couples I use Gottman theory to deepen communication and understanding.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders.
The American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, National Alliance on Mental Illness, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the U.K. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs/Dept. of Defense, The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and the World Health Organization among many other national and international organizations recognize EMDR therapy as an effective treatment.
Pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is a psychological treatment approach that aims to alleviate chronic pain by retraining the brain to interpret pain signals as less threatening, essentially "re-teaching" the brain to respond appropriately to pain signals from the body, thereby breaking the cycle of chronic pain perception; it involves techniques to help individuals re-evaluate the threat level of their pain and manage associated emotions, often through mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy elements
