“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
Individual Therapy
We will explore your feelings and relational dynamics. As safety develops, you may more deeply experience yourself within the therapeutic relationship. As a result, you may experience greater access to intimacy in relationships more generally.
Group Therapy
I run “process” groups. Each group consists of 4-8 individual clients, and I operate as the group facilitator. Group members are encouraged to share their in-the-moment thoughts and feelings, especially those that are toward group members or the group therapist. One of the main goals of group work is to deepen your experience of yourself and others, thus strengthening your ability to form and build satisfying relationships. Visit my group page for more information.
Couples Therapy
Couples seek therapy to address patterns of conflict. Conflict is not intrinsically unhealthy — it is a necessary fact of all relationships. However, when conflicts become stuck patterns, hopelessness sets in. The end result is always suffering for both individuals. The interplay of theses conflicts can involve many different types of action, some more overt than others: argument, blame, criticism, passive aggression, defensiveness, emotional distancing, and so on. Ultimately underlying these stuck patterns are unmet emotional needs. We therefore work together to identify the underlying needs of each individual so that a real conversation can take place.
