Living with Heart and Meaning

~Unfolding Possibilities~

I support connecting to the truth of your inner self, in turn, allowing you to be more present and open in all relationships. Your life then becomes a rich tapestry whereby you have more energy and a willingness to make changes that can result in a quiet, inner peace and deeper contentment. With an opened heart you will experience more meaningful and connected relationships. The goal of couples work is to increase communication and caring while strengthening your bond and connection to one another. If you determine that it will be best for you to uncouple, the goal is to do so with integrity, goodwill, and respect so as to minimize emotional heartbreak and future difficulties.

Individual counseling will be focused on positive self-awareness, on identifying self-determined goals that have heart and meaning for you. Diving deep, I will assist in articulating your personal needs and wants.

Relationship/couples therapy offers a safe and supportive environment with an unbiased, caring professional to help reduce conflict, negotiate fairly, and understand your partner’s emotions in order to grow your relationship with one another and facilitate deeper commitment. I will utilize various relationship models, focusing on restoring the emotional bonds of intimacy that are at the heart of every successful relationship while addressing vulnerabilities, unhealthy dynamics, and communication breakdowns.

Opening your heart to personal and/or relationship development will enhance all areas of your life. Learning to listen and understand yourself and/or your partner at a deeper level will support building more love and trust in all your relationships.

Sometimes we develop negative patterns in relationships, repeatedly responding to triggers that have developed over a lifetime. We will work to identify these unconscious and automatic reactions and turn them around to better understand and heal patterns of conflict or disengagement.

Developing coping skills will assist you in listening deeply to what is being said, as well as what is needed or wanted in any given situation. Support from an unbiased therapist can be invaluable in helping to restore emotional bonds of intimacy and connection.
