Couple, Families and Individuals
Talk therapy can help!
When
working with couples, individuals and families I take an
intergenerational approach that views the couple, individual or family
as an emotional unit. By understanding the nature of one's family
members and their intense emotional connections with one another across
the generations will facilitate better current relationship outcomes.
My theraputic process allows people to create better more meaningful relationships!
I have helped many couples recover from affairs and develop better relationships!
My clients increase their self development through researched based thinking!
My goal for treatment is to treat the root of the problem.
As people work on core issues their symptoms often drop away.
We
often believe that we are more independent than we truly are on others,
less connected and affective by the people in our lives. However,
research shows the opposite. We are infinity connected to others around
us for approval and
To form better relationships it helps to understand that connectivity.
It
also helps to learn about our emotions. Emotions often are automatic
especially when anxiety and stress is high. Emotions are also trainable
to reflect our actually core beliefs. My work looks at affective
neuroscience which integrates the scientific research of brain function
and emotions that drive behavior, focus and our relationships with
others.
In
the couple relationship each individual has the ability to affect the
others functioning. A supporting connected relationship promotes growth
and higher functioning. In contrast a stressed and conflictual
relationship promotes lower functioning. Learning how to achieve
emotional wellbeing by sustaining closeness while being an individual
in the relationship will increase tolerance and flexibility in the
couplehood and decrease stress and anxiety.
Being
sensitized and reactive to one another produces an intense relationship
that is often based on immature and unrealistic expectations. According
to theory/research it is not the events or crisis situations that
disrupts the couple or family system but, the way the couple or family
reacts (automatic responses and/or programming effects).
Through psychotherapy I can help you restore the wholeness, grow your inner beauty and calm your spirit.
