You can work through your life issues! Psychotherapy is different from counseling. Counseling is working with current life issues and discussing them, processing emotions, and creating action plans to improve issues. Psychotherapy is deeper healing work where we explore how your current life in various areas has potentially been impacted by your early life and your life until now, and the beliefs and schemas that you formulated through those. We work with both the past and present simultaneously to heel wounds that occurred, big or small, and how to transform those into shifted behavior in the now. We will work with your thoughts, your emotions, and your behaviors in a manner that is unique.

While I offer many coping strategies for life challenges, it is my passion to help you discover the cause of your anxiety, depression, grief, anger, conflict in relationships.

Listening, listing new options and action steps to think and feel differently are part of this counselling process.

I primarily use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to support individuals, couples and families to get the supportive relationships they need to be safe, secure and grow in life. EFT is designed to provide opportunities to express vulnerable emotions to loved ones so that one can be clearly understood and valued by the most important people in your life. Even in individual therapy, there are powerful techniques used to safely access unacknowledged (often painful) emotions in connection to oneself and others. EFT is based on our knowledge of the importance of close bonds with others and has over 20 years of research that verifies its success. Call me for a confidential consult.
