​COUPLES THERAPY

The type of therapy I use for couple's therapy is also based on attachment theory and is called Emotional Focused Therapy by Sue Johnson.  The theory is that all people have a need for a safe and secure attachment with another primary person in their life. When this attachment does not feel safe or secure, couples begin to experience some sort of distress.  EFT helps identify negative communication patterns and teaches new, more connecting communication strategies.

SOCIAL COACHING

Social discomfort and anxiety is becoming ever more common in our world today.  Socializing is like any other learned skill and can improve with proper practice and reinforcement.  As a social coach, I help assess your strengths and challenges, teach you how to lower anxiety through conscious breathing and visualization, and by attending with you a preselected social situation or event, help reinforce new techniques and tools for better socializing.

​INDIVIDUAL THERAPY​

The type of therapy that I use for individual therapy is informed by my belief in attachment theory. The model itself is called Schema Therapy by Jeffrey Young.  In brief, Schema Therapy believes that we are motivated by belief systems that can be either positive or negative. Psychotherapy tries to identify the negative beliefs, discovers where they originated, and then using a variety of interventions, seeks to make them more positive.
