Three things differentiate
living from the soul versus
living from the ego only. They
are: the ability to sense and
learn new ways, the tenacity
to ride a rough road, and the
patience to learn deep love
over time.
~Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Psychotherapy for Individuals, Couples, and Families
I collaborate with clients to find an approach that fits the presenting concern, and to decide who will be participating in the therapy process.
Sometimes the focus is individual:
-
resolving painful memories in early relationships
-
developing healthy coping strategies
-
addressing anxiety or depression
-
working through major decisions
I use a wide variety of strategies to assist couples seeking to rekindle, strengthen, or heal their partnerships, addressing concerns about:
-
communication and satisfying emotional connection
-
sexual intimacy and sexual difficulties
-
fidelity and healthy boundaries
-
family-of-origin
-
in-laws
-
blended family conflicts
I have found that it is possible to do very effective work on a couple relationship even when one partner is not willing to participate in counselling.
I provide family therapy, usually beginning with parents, to address:
-
effective discipline
-
sibling rivalry
-
parent-teen conflict
-
relationships with adult children
Tending to family relationships is a way to deeply support our own wellness and also provide for the long-term health and happiness of our children, whatever their age.
