Individual, Couples, Group, and Family Counseling
Therapeutic Approach:
I work from a client-centered, holistic approach often using Jungian analysis, Cognitive Behavioral techniques, and Gestalt methods. I believe that through the therapeutic process you can examine your life experiences and relationships to discover your life’s true purpose. Once you decide to venture on this journey, I will offer you an emotionally safe place where you can express your feelings while experiencing sincere empathy, patience, and respect for your individual story. In working with more than one individual at a time such as couples work, I find that extremely powerful shifts can take place as we enter into your individual world together rediscovering what has drawn you to the partnership. This creates a space for each of you to learn how to heal one another's unresolved developmental trauma which is often the core of relationship issues.
I have a strong passion for helping people improve their emotional and physical well-being through the exploration and understanding of what their bodies are communicating. I believe that how we choose to be in the world manifests in our bodies. Our emotional work together will allow you to strengthen your relationship with your physical self while exploring emotional issues and road blocks currently affecting your health. This work can result in an increased awareness of your mind body connection and a deeper understanding of how powerful the mind is (conscious and unconscious) and its contribution to your emotional and physical state of being.
General Explanation of Sessions:
Each individual session lasts 50 minutes. Couples and Family Sessions are specially tailored. We will usually meet once a week. The first session will begin with all the necessary paperwork and a general inventory of what is going on in your life, and what you want to get out of our time along with my input regarding how I feel I could support you given your presenting needs. Therapy length will be dependent upon your goals, motivation, external support, personal work outside of sessions, and the cronicity of problems. Payment is required at the time of service. Cash/Check only please. Insurance is accepted. I am an In Network Provider for Uniform, There are pros and cons to using insurance and I am happy to educate you and discuss this further at the time of our initial session. You have the option of paying out of pocket and will be charged my full rate. I do consider a sliding scale for certain situations including economic hardship. If you do not use insurance I am able to offer a free 20 minute consultation. I leave the full slot open if we decide to move forward with the intake/session.
