Counseling Services for Creating Healthy Relationships

IMAGO THERAPY

Unlike most models of marriage counseling, Imago Couples Therapy does not focus on solving the presenting problems; it is about Restoring Connection! We believe that conflict is a sign that growth is trying to happen, and that frustrations are the words we use to express our deepest unmet needs from childhood. By uncovering and sharing our unmet needs, we are able to re-frame our frustrations into requests that our partner can hear and act upon, thereby creating mutually satisfying and healthy relationships!

THERAPY FOR TRAUMA & ANXIETY

When clients have experienced trauma, whether from early childhood, traumatic experiences, or have struggled with low self-esteem and recurring negative thoughts, they often benefit from EMDR.

 I have often witnessed emotional transformations, long-term burdens lifted, and inner peace restored when using EMDR and guided visualizations.  

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence based, integrative therapeutic approach that was developed to help deal with traumatic events or PTSD. It has been used to help with a variety of anxiety-based issues, such as performance anxiety, chronic pain, addictions, panic attacks, grief and loss, and stress reduction. It involves a standard 8 step protocol that combines elements of several psycho-therapeutic approaches.

FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME

When present circumstances or distance may limit us from meeting in person, it is still possible to receive good quality, secure, and compassionate therapeutic services online via phone calls or video sessions.

Safe & secure!

Whether or not you are currently in a committed relationship, Imago Therapy can help. We believe that when relationship patterns are not functional, it can manifest as depression, anxiety, work-related stress, and symptoms of physical illness that may not be recognized by doctors. Imago Therapy can help individuals discover and re-frame dysfunctional patterns from the past that are sabotaging their current relationships, and begin a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

Get the equivalent of 3-6 months of professional therapy in just 2 days for less than half of the cost, all while enjoying a break from the city!

 Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that can make it hard to fall asleep, hard to stay asleep, or cause you to wake up too early and not be able to get back to sleep.  Does this sound familiar?

If so, the Alpha Stim AID may be right for you.  It is a cranial electro-therapy stimulation (CES) device that helps the brain naturally increase serotonin production via mild electrical current to the brain via ear clips. 

Finally, a drug free alternative!

Other benefits have been reported and other uses may apply.  Trial sessions available.

 MARATHON SESSIONS

For couples seeking intensive private therapy in a short time, couples retreats are immersive and can provide up to 16 hrs of individualized therapy in 3 or 4 hr blocks of time over 2-3 days. 

Each 4 hr block of time is equivalent to 1 month of therapy, giving you the benefit of months of learning, growth and healing in a matter of days!

Great for couples with a rotating work schedule or those who don't have time for regular visits but who want to see a big change in a short time and are not comfortable in groups.
