Therapy Creates Harmony
I have dedicated my entire profession to creating harmony, which will generate peace, serenity, and rapport. I strive at being authentic, genuine, and collaborative in approaching the specific needs of each case, whether with an individual or with couples. I have been identified as a diversely-affirmative therapist, whether related to sexual orientation, gender identity, spirituality, or race, culture, and ethnicity.
When couples and individuals enter a therapeutic relationship in a confidential comfort zone, thoughts, burdens, concerns, and feelings are more easily disclosed, and therapy becomes active and alive. My goal is to effectively engage with every single individual or couple in order to create harmony in their lives.
Goals of Psychotherapy
The goal of psychotherapy is to identify life obstacles, examine the emotional patterns that affect thinking and behavior, and explore the neurological blueprints and conditioned responses that has kept the individual from living the life he or she desires.
The conscious mind is an immensely powerful manifestation tool — what we focus on is what we create. Often the area of our mental focus, or self-talk, is unconscious. Psychotherapy facilitates the unconscious mind to become conscious, enhancing our ability to understand our thinking and feelings and subsequently introducing new choices into our lives. When the individual is fully committed to the therapeutic process, psychotherapy can transform his or her life.
Couples Counseling
I have obtained special training in couples counseling and work with all types of couples — married couples, unmarried couples, straight partners, gay partners, and spouses in a gay/straight marriage, professionally identified as ‘mixed-orientation relationships.’
I work with all types of Marital/Relationship problems, whether related to communication difficulties, lack of a true ‘team’ connection, infidelity, etc. I also am Gay-friendly and Gay-affirmative and adept at working with the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community as well as couples in mixed-orientation marriages (i.e., gay/straight marriages). All relationships are unique, and my treatment is tailored accordingly.
