Relationship Issues Therapists in 98043
The human need for relationships, as well as separateness, exists in us all. In my practice with couples, I help partners identify these needs and the words that best express them. Partners can then feel more confidence discussing needs and differences with one another while exploring life’s separate and shared goals. When differences entangle into gridlock patterns, however, couple relationships suffer conflict, avoidance, and even separation. I help partners step back from these repetitive patterns and find feeling words for their individual frustrations and unmet needs, to feel and express needs with emotion from the inside.

I am trained in both EMDR and clinical hypnotherapy, which provide me with excellent tools to help you to discover the deeper meanings of the issues you are currently dealing with. These modalities enable my clients to see the bigger picture and are excellent tools for releasing trauma, desensitizing old pain and triggers and envisioning a new future. Real and lasting change can only happen when you heal the wound at its source, which can sometimes be deep inside the unconscious mind.

Growing up, therapy was a foreign concept in my world. It wasn't something embraced by the culture around me, and I had no idea that techniques existed to positively shape one's thought process. Everything changed when I started working as a tech at the Betty Ford Center. I found myself surrounded by compassionate therapists who took me under their wing. Though I wasn't their client, they kindly listened to my struggles and helped me process the trauma I had endured. Their guidance was life-altering - it taught me that I didn't have to spend my life suffering from the pains of the past. A new path forward was possible.
