AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Couple’s Therapy
Couple’s Therapy is where you and your partner come in together
to address issues regarding your relationship. The most common
issues that often bring couple’s into therapy are poor
communication, affairs and sexual concerns.
How Therapy Helps
Communication problems are at the heart of most relationship
difficulties. Lack of communication or poor communication often
result in a build-up of negative emotions which fuel excessive
arguing, blaming, avoiding, going outside of the relationship or
lack of sexual fulfillment. Therapy helps to restore open
communication and to release the negative emotions that are
getting in the way.
Working with Teenagers
The teenage years are one of the most challenging times in a
person’s life both for parents and teenagers alike. It is a time
where the teenager is seeking to establish his or her own identity
and willfulness. The most common issues that bring teenagers
into therapy are problems between parent and teen, identity
issues, body image, poor self-esteem, drug use or poor school
performance.
How Therapy Helps
One of the greatest benefits of therapy to teenagers is that it
gives them a safe space to talk without fear of judgment or
someone telling them what they should or should not do. When
the teen can begin to sort out his or her own emotions, behavior
and self-esteem problems clear up naturally. It can sometimes be
helpful to have parent and teen come in together to open up
communication and to negotiate boundaries of behavior. For
information on a structured approach to dealing with teenagers,
please visit the Creating Choices page.
Working with Individual Issues
There are many other reasons that bring people into therapy. All
of us go through periods of our lives where we feel "stuck" with
negative feelings about ourselves or our life. Guilt, feelings of
inadequacy, hopelessness, indecisiveness, inability to concentrate,
lack of motivation and negative beliefs about oneself mask
themselves as depression. Fears, excessive worry, tension,
inability to focus and panicky feelings mask themselves as
anxiety. All of these feelings can further result in negative
behaviors such as alcohol or drug abuse, eating disorders, weight
gain, poor sleep patterns or social withdrawal. These kinds of
symptoms can range from mild to severe.
How Therapy Helps
Therapy helps you get to the heart of your negative feelings and
thinking. You have a safe space to address your inner world and
struggles. When you are able to release your negative thinking
and emotions, you will discover that you have much more control
and say-so over your life than you previously imagined. Therapy
helps you to create new possibilities in thinking, feeling, being
and perceiving which ultimately results in a greater happiness in
your life.
Working with Families
With the high stress and faced pace movement of life in this day-
in-age, many families go through periods of lack of connection
and communication. The most common issues that bring families
into therapy are concerns about children, money, blending of
families and divorce. Family members sometimes feel as if their
families are falling apart.
How Therapy Helps
Family therapy allows families to reconnect with one another and
open up communication without the arguing and bickering. It
creates a safe space for self-expression and to possibly hear each
other for the first time. As each member of the family feels heard
and acknowledged, a greater feeling of love and unity is the
result.
TAKING THE FIRST STEP
For whatever reason you are seeking help, we can first decide by
phone whether to come in alone, bring your spouse or significant
other, or bring your whole family together. Our next step would
be to arrange a first appointment to gather information. The
purpose of our first session together is to explore your present
situation and background and together we formulate goals on
what you hope to accomplish in therapy. We will also establish a
time frame in which we can anticipate the completion of our work
together. This will insure that therapy is not an open ended
process and that we are maintaining a direction and purpose. If
you have a question about whether I might be helpful to you,
please call or email me and I will be glad to discuss your situation.
