Research shows consistently that no matter what counseling method is used, the connection between you and your counselor is the essential factor in you feeling better about yourself and your life. As such, I create a safe and supportive relationship with people. It is important that you feel heard, acknowledged and supported. This is the significant ingredient for your personal and relationship transformation. In addition to deep listening, it is also helpful to understand how to cope with difficult feelings and situations. Learning how to be resilient and knowing that you can support yourself through life's challenges will give you a sense of empowerment and self-esteem. I am active in the sessions, warm, supportive, and very practical.My approach to couples counseling is Your relationship system is my client and as such, I believe that people create, maintain and live by spoken and unspoken rules in families. I think that all people are best understood in the family system. We choose partners to help us heal and work out our unresolved problems. My approach is to assume that you and your partner want to a loving, secure and close bond. As such, my approach is guided by Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.My approach is respectful, collaborative, optimistic and holistic. Since my training is in family therapy, I work with individual clients by understanding how a person relates to others based on the patterns learned in their most significant relationship experiences; usually their relationship with their parents. So your family history is important to me.
