Finding a therapist you can trust to hold your relationship well is important. You need to know that the person you’re choosing can actually tend to the big picture of where you two need to go as well as track the subtle, covert dynamics in the moment. And, we know that beyond skill and training, the quality of the fit between clients and clinician is a crucial factor in whether the therapy is successful or not.
I’m not your conventional therapist. In addition to my advanced training in PACT (The Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy) I’m trained as a coach, zen monk, yoga teacher, and group facilitator. This means my style is collaborative, present-moment centered, embodied, and at times, directive. I want to follow your lead until I see you going somewhere that will get you in trouble- in that moment, I’ll step in and help guide you back to safer footing.
Specifically, we might be a great fit if:
- You have already done therapy and are looking for a fresh and distinct perspective that includes and transcends traditional therapeutic paradigms.
- You are looking for someone who will offer both support and challenge so that you can grow past outdated habitual patterns.
- You are interested in going beyond pain-avoidant strategies and actually having the challenging conversations, so that they are no longer blocking intimacy, truth, and understanding.
- You are excited and ready to implement new practices and take the work into your life, beyond the therapy session.
We probably aren’t a good fit if:
- You don’t feel ready to confront your defensive patterning.
- You want a therapist to fix your partner.
- You think the problems are all your partner’s fault.
- You aren’t ready to do things differently.
Here’s what we will do together:
- Uncover the ways that you two are unconsciously getting in the way of your long-term happiness, security, and vitality.
- Create and discover new ways of being that foster respect, collaboration, and are mutually beneficial.
- Grow your respective capacities to be with pressure and stress so that you can remain in your power and adult functioning, so that you are able to access more creative options in difficult moments.
- Co-architect a relationship that is big enough to include all of you, stable enough to endure difficulty, secure enough to foster trust and intimacy, and vibrant enough to be the relationship you actually want to have.
