Couples Therapy
Couples Therapy via tele-health in California
My background training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and experience with Emotion Focused Therapy allows me to provide a safe space for couples to address communication issues, discover patterns in their relationship, work through dynamics in the here and now as they are presented in the therapeutic setting, and develop more trust to deepen their bond. By exploring current emotional issues, as well as discovering feelings that may not have been in awareness, a deeper understanding can be gained about how this has informed behaviors in the relationship. Discussion of each partner's family dynamics and attachment styles can shed light on vulnerabilities in the relationship. Unpacking the interactional and communication dynamics in the relationship can bring more insight into unhelpful or dysfunctional patterns that have been formed. Learning and practicing effective communication skills can help each partner to better express their feelings, needs, and wants, while also being heard and understood. Expressing fears and vulnerabilities with more effective communication and learning how to respond in a way that reflects an understanding of what is being communicated can help change the dysfunctional patterns of interacting and communicating. By discovering patterns in the relationship and learning effective communication skills, negative patterns can be changed and a deeper trust and bond can help the relationship grow.

Individual Therapy
In a collaborative relationship, I work with clients to explore and uncover feelings, thoughts and behaviors that impede one's well being, functioning, development, and growth. I offer a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship with empathy and unconditional positive regard to facilitate growth and change. I help clients increase self-acceptance, self understanding, authenticity, self-worth, and healthy relationships. Through the therapeutic relationship, clients gain insight and a deeper awareness of dysfunctional patterns, negative thought processes, family of origin issues, and a deeper awareness of underlying feelings. Additionally, clients will gain an awareness of how their feelings and emotions are experienced in their body. I help clients explore and increase purpose and meaning in their life, while also increasing their capacity to make choices. I will be an ally, offer increased support, be present, and nonjudgmental.
