Individuals, Couples and Families
Individuals
Pursuing optimal intimacy improves your mental and physical health. I am an experienced therapist who is direct, affirming and effective in helping couples and individuals 'do what works' in and out of the bedroom. This requires facing and dealing with what holds you back, shuts you down, turns you off and intimidates you--because, this will open you up, draw you closer, and bind you together in abundant & authentic love. In our dynamic therapeutic process, you can also learn how to become irresistibly desirable and pursuable (once again)! The lovers' dance is born anew.
I see people become light & free together.
Couples
I am skilled in treating ineffective relational patterns (e.g., emotional gridlock), extra-marital affairs, sexual & intimacy issues. I help patients face their truth, heal trauma, break cycles of harmful patterns (including co-dependency, abuse, power & control, disorganized thinking, and collusive alliance).
In understanding the complexity of your nature and identifying meaningful guiding principles you are more apt to seek and discover creative solutions in addressing genuine challenges in daily living.
Instead of dealing with the real reasons for your anxiety, depression, loneliness, fear, isolation and despair, you may choose something that temporarily takes away the weight and sorrow that is imbedded in these heavy emotions and seemingly unbearable realities. This merely offers a false sense of resolve and a modicum of relief--only to ultimately increase the intensity of distressing thoughts and feelings.
Stress comes from the way you relate to people, events and situations, including how you look at obstacles. One of the reasons an obstacle is in your life is to grow from it and to become stronger. You can find tremendous benefit in obstacles by facing their inherent challenges and overcoming them, rather than turning away, giving up and feeling defeated.
Resolving challenges in your life requires a commitment to strengthen your inner weaknesses and to see honestly how you relate to barriers in ways that thwart happiness in yourself and in your relationships.
