I provide individual and couple’s therapy for LGBQ and straight adults of all ages and ethnic groups.
As we work together, you will gain insight into your needs and emotions and build the confidence to clearly express yourself.
My advanced training and expertise include the following areas:
RELATIONSHIPS
Issues with relationships motivate most people to seek therapy.
I will serve as a guide to help you:
- Fully express yourself with family members, friends, co-workers and significant others
- Pay attention to “red flags” that signal something doesn’t feel right
- Cope with loss and pain after a breakup or when there is infidelity
- Re-couple after a separation if that is in your best interest
TRAUMA
Childhood trauma may stem from abuse or neglect in the home, or witnessing domestic violence. Growing up with a parent who is a substance abuser or being a child of divorce may also affect you in adulthood.
I will help you:
- Understand that you were not to blame for what you experienced
- Uncover feelings you’ve longed to express
- Avoid unhealthy relationships
- Gain confidence that you are in control of your life
IMMIGRANTS
Children of immigrant parents are affected in ways they are not always aware of.
Despite your parents’ love for you, their anxieties and fears after settling in a new country can impact your relationship with others and how you view yourself.
Together we will explore ways for you to:
- Express feelings of anger in a safe environment
- Carve out your own path to reach your goals
- Form trusting secure relationships that satisfy your needs
- Acknowledge and accept the similarities and differences with yourself and your family
