You and I will meet together in a comfortable, supportive, and relaxed atmosphere whether it is online or in person. We will explore what it is that brought you to therapy and how I can best help you to achieve the goals that you have for yourself. Sometimes we don’t exactly know what our goals are, and that is fine, we can discover and define them together. Most of the time people just know that something doesn’t feel right within themselves or in their life. Often, they have tried for a long time to “feel better” but find themselves in frustrating, repetitive patterns that doesn't lead to healing. Making the connection to a therapist that is a fit for you can be the first step in finding the peace and joy that you are seeking in your life.
We will meet to gain an understanding of what the obstacles are in your relationship and to see if couples therapy is the right approach for you. Some couples thrive in therapy together and that becomes evident in the first couple of sessions. For other couples, they need to spend some time in sessions individually to understand and work on the issues that negatively affect the relationship. Through exploration and understanding of core issues, we will formulate goals for our work together to increase your compatibility and connection to each other.
As a life coach, I help my clients attain greater fulfillment in their lives, particularly in relation to their careers and personal challenges. If you're not where you want to be in life, and you're not sure how to get there, I can help you identify your goals and guide you on your way to maximizing your true potential. For businesses, I provide coaching to managers who are struggling with their teams. By improving communication and strengthening relationships among workers, and between staff and management, we can develop solutions that lead to an increase in motivation.
Being in a therapy session is similar to the comfort you feel when you speak to a trusted friend. I listen deeply and actively. Meaning I can “hear” not only what you say with words but also what I intuit from your body language – which often speaks louder than words. I share your sense of urgency about your life situation and work to find the best way I can assist you in achieving your goals in therapy. I believe that we all receive information differently – what works for one person may not work for another. I am keenly aware of this and as we get to know each other, I deepen my understanding of you, your concerns, and the best way that I can assist in healing.
