Psychotherapy

Together, we will discover what directions we need to head in to get the results that you want.  You are the expert of you: you know you better than anyone else, so we are walking together, collaborating, and navigating the course to healing.
​
Some of the tools that assist in the psycho-therapeutic process of breaking ourselves down to build ourselves back up, are:

  • Learning and becoming aware of the different belief and value systems that have shaped you as an individual, both from your family and your culture(s), and how they have impacted your view on yourself and the world

  • Relationship dynamics: becoming aware of what your patterns are with others, whether that be in your family, with your significant other, friendships, or even at the work place, and analyzing how those patterns have helped you get your needs met, as well as determining if there is a healthier way to get said needs met.

  • (Non Violent) Communication: learning what your style of communication is like and other tools/skills for healthier communication, as well as learning that oftentimes other's behavior has little to do with you and vice versa (allowing for more freedom and peace and less reaction/defensiveness towards others)

  • Projections: a wonderful indicator for everyone about unresolved issues that reside inside of us (when others trigger or bother us, it speaks to more about something inside of us rather than that person)

  • The extreme importance of self care on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual: how to refill and refuel oneself and why that is important, as well as how to protect and check in with yourself: listening to your own intuition and voice

  • Pain versus suffering: how we can cause ourselves to emotionally suffer much more than we need to

  • Assesing guilt versus shame: the destruction shame can bring and what individuals do in response to it (typically become very defensive or try to hide).  Shame can severely impact the ability to have relationships with others and ourselves.

  • The importance of self love: how we treat ourselves impacts us on so many levels, including our relationships with others.  Validation is a form of love: oftentimes parents were never validated from their own families of origin and so therfore, did not learn to validate themselves or their own children, (validation allows kids and people in general to feel heard, seen and accepted and influences how people treat themselves).  

  • Operating from a place of fear versus a place of love: something that is quite common.  How to be more aware of it and have more choice of the place from which you'd like to make decisions

  • Assessing any addiction tendencies (substance, relationship, technology, gaming, etc) and discussing the impacts it has on your life as well as what needs are getting met and how to get those needs met in healthier ways

  • What the wisdom is behind the different emotions we feel (why we have them), what information they can give us, how to recognize what you're feeling, and how to navigate through them

  • Transitions: something we are always experiencing on many different levels and moments, what they offer us, how to navigate them as smoothly as possible

  • Contemplative/awareness techniques, to help you become more aware of yourself: what you spend energy thinking about, what emotion(s) you're feeling, when you're present versus not, when your own "stuff" is coming up, and therefore having more choice of how you would like to be in the world: freedom to be you.
