ABOUT Family THerapists //Info
Regardless of what we are doing - be it walking, talking or sitting - we commuicate something. Marriage and Family Therapists (MFT's) specialize in recognizing communication patterns and then exploring new ways to translating your unique message so others can will more fully understand you. Through the simple act of listening, and being heard - truly heard, without judgement- our quality of life can improve.
We are specifically trained to work with families, individuals and couples - to help bolster communication skills.
I provide a safe and nourishing learning envrionment to explore your particular challenges. I work with you, your family, and/or child to begin to highlight and then unlock entrenched styles of communication.
I provide school or individually based anti-bullying curriculums through my organization, not the target.
Perhaps you have a teen or tween?
Living with your tween or teen may be one of the most difficult challenges you will ever face. Between the brain, emotional and - *gulp* - hormonal changes they experience, a t(w)eens world is in constant chaos (at least according to them). Their chaos inevitably makes you feel like you're living on the roller coaster with them.
I am oft asked, "What happened. I thought I knew him (or her)? Followed by the exasperated rhetorical comment, "What can I DO?! I've tried everything".
While there is (of course) no easy answer telling us "What to do", counseling can offer help in opening communication lines between teens, tweens, and their exhausted parents.
Are you a couple under stress, or want to enhance your relationship?
We all work too much. The level of activity we sustain exhausts our emotional and physical resources, including our ability to cope. The stress bleeds into our personal life, and takes its toll on our closest relationships - that with our partners.
We are sometimes unsure of what the next step should be in our relationships... I provide guidance during these difficult discussions.
I look forward to hearing from you! Click here for rate and scheduling information.
...the story of each life is traced on a sand dune that the winds of time and experience gradually sculpt from one shape to another. - thomas lewis, md
