Family Counseling:

A family goes through many transitions: newly married; a family with a newborn or children of various ages; divorce or remarrying; single parenthood; young adults returning home; mental illness; career changes; empty-nesters; retirement; chronic illness; adult caregivers of their parents; grieving the loss of a loved one. We will walk through those changes together and make the adjustment smooth and healthy.​

​

• Pre-Marital Counseling: 

​     Marriage starts with a promise. Developing and maintaining a healthy, long-term marriage depends on

      constant nourishment of the relationship and deeper understanding of your partner’s needs and

      character. Educating clients on how to place partner first, be patient, kind and respectful even in times

      of conflict. Together we explore relationship strengths and deficiencies. We learn about Assertiveness,

      Active Listening, Stress and Conflict Management, Financial Planning and Budgeting, Defining Goals and

      learn the impact Family of Origin have on the relationship. We learn how to maintains the love and

      peace at home.​

​​

• Couples Counseling: 

      Deep friendship is essential for healthy marriage. Love, kindness, passion, sensitivity, compromise,

      sacrifice and desire to serve each other is what brings couples together and maintains their loving

      relationship. Ability to manage conflicts, and have a shared purpose in life are possible with careful

      planning, and desire to place each other first. Love is important but in order to maintain it a couple

      must learn how to express it.

​​

• Parenting / Co-Parenting / Blended Families: 

​     I use brief, solution-oriented, and supportive intervention when approaching divorcing families. I assist

     them during their transition from their spousal relationship to a co-parenting relationship and divorce

     partnership.  I educate and prepare clients for the successful negotiation of a parenting plan. My hope

     for divorcing parents is that they will maintain a loving environment for their children. 

​​

• Relationship Struggles/ Communication Barriers/ Conflict Resolutions/ Intimacy Challenges/ Rebuilding Trust /Domestic Violence/ Divorce: 

      A marriage once filled with love and dreams is now constant source of tension. Criticism, blaming,

      stubbornness, passive aggressive responses, and defensiveness are just a few of our deficiencies that

      have the power to creep into a loving relationship and built walls of resentment and distrust. When not

      addressed and healed, these feelings will erode intimacy and desire to love. Divorce Coaching is a

      supportive process that helps reduce the emotional intensity between partners and helps them

      separate their emotions from legal and practical issues.​

​

• Narcissistic Cycle of Abuse: Stages and Healing from the Trauma 

​     Living trapped in never ending nightmare of shift-blaming, gaslighting, lies, manipulation, poor

      communication, cheating, withholding affection, controlling behaviors, violating boundaries and

      disrespect, insults, all leaving you to question yourself and your reality. Learning about the

      symptoms and patterns of this type of cycle of abuse will lead to ability to disengage and

      discontinue living in it. The journey is painful but Healing is possible. With proper knowledge you

      can be empowered and be in charge of your life again.

​

• Attachment Styles and How they affect our Relationships:

​     Our Idea of how to love and how to be loved is formed during our childhood, If not properly

      processed and resolved, it runs our lives and dictates our behaviors in and out of relationships.

      Learning about our ways of relating to people and how we form relationship will help us change

      our patterns of behavior when interacting with people. 

​

• Life Transitions and Aging/ Grief and Loss/ Chronic Illness: 

​​      Pain has different faces but the heavy feeling of loss and abandonment that comes with the end

      of a relationship is powerful and life changing. Divorce, chronic illness, empty nest or loss of a

      loved one brings deep emotional pain that often becomes a driving force for altering behaviors of

      daily routines. This pain is manageable with right coping skills and new mindset of the one grieving.
