Walk and Talks: When the weather is nice, I give clients that option to have counseling while strolling through a nearby neighborhood or trail. The benefits of spending time in nature are well-documented. For some people, walking side by side can be less stressful than face to face counseling. Walking side by side fosters a unique dynamic, akin to "parallel play," where individuals maintain a forward gaze while remaining deeply connected through meaningful exchanges.
Couples & Relationship Therapy: My particular expertise lies in assisting couples who have encountered an impasse in their relationship, seeking to unlock a deeper understanding and transformation of their entrenched relational patterns. This often involves delving into unmet childhood needs and exploring each partner's individual relational and family histories to shed light on the root causes of current struggles. It also involves gaining an understanding of your individual and shared somatic or nervous systems’ response to intimacy and struggle. I firmly believe that this kind of work has the most profound and lasting impact, but it also demands a joint commitment of time and effort. My clients typically come prepared to engage fully in the process, both during our sessions and in the work they do between sessions.
My counseling style is characterized by directness and compassion, offering a balance of challenge and support. In our initial sessions, I'll provide honest reflections on the ways in which you interact with your partner. The changes I aim for are not superficial but rather transformative, aimed at revitalizing your relationship at its core. Alongside longer-term couple therapy, I also provide time-limited interventions to address specific conflicts or offer pre-marital/pre-commitment counseling to help couples establish a solid foundation for their journey together. Together, we can address a wide range of common issues that couples face, such as feeling stuck, perpetual problems, conflict avoidance, feelings of being unheard or unloved, and more. Whether you're looking for a tune-up during life transitions or seeking to build a resilient bond, I'm here to support you on your journey to a healthier and more satisfying relationship.
Somatic Process Group Therapy: Group therapy offers a profound journey of self-discovery and transformation through the lens of our connections with others. It serves as a unique mirror to real-life relationships, spanning from inner thoughts and emotions to interpersonal dynamics and broader cultural contexts. In today's fast-paced world, we often overlook the wisdom that resides within our own bodies. Unlike traditional psychotherapy, which has sometimes disregarded the body's role, this unique therapy group prioritizes the connection between our bodies and our interpersonal relationships. Our breath, heart rhythms, and sensory awareness communicate our truest selves, guiding our actions and reactions more authentically than our conscious thoughts.
By employing the principles of Somatic Experiencing, we tune into the sensations, emotions, images, and movements that arise within us during group interactions. Through this process, we enhance our ability to regulate our emotions, strengthen our presence, engage in empathic witnessing, and ultimately, build stronger bonds and cultivate healthier relationships.
