Helping You Increase Trust, Intimacy, and Connection in Your Relationship

From the time we are born, we personally grow through relationships. From the nurturing relationship with our parents or caregivers, we learn how to trust, connect, and depend on other people. We then pursue meaningful relationships as we grow older and eventually build our own extended family relationships. But relationships are challenging at times, and both internal and external events can threaten their very foundation. Such threats often involve personal struggles which might include problems with addiction, depression, PTSD, anxiety, childhood trauma, infidelity, lack of communication, or intimacy issues. These issues can leave us feeling lost and wondering how to continue in a relationship with a loved one and/or how to live a fulfilling life.

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, but how we choose to deal with specific struggles can either hinder and hurt our relationships or allow them to heal and grow.  We want our personal relationships to flourish, but often in the midst of our struggles, we can lose perspective and fail to find constructive solutions. In these instances, talking to a professional can help you find your way and attain your goals. I help couples move beyond communication issues and learn how to meet each others’ emotional needs in order to build stronger connections and stronger foundations. Through professional counseling, both hope and healing can be realized.

If you feel it is time to get help, don’t wait any longer while suffering in silence and watching your life and relationships fall apart. Considering professional help may invoke feelings of embarrassment, shame, and doubt. But the risk of failing to seek help can be substantial. Do not let fear and self-doubt paralyze you into inaction.

Therapy is about working with a supportive and understanding professional in order to improve your mental well-being.  Much of my work as a therapist focuses on building a trusting and supportive relationship through which personal struggles can be addressed and relationships improved.

Therapy with me: What to expect

Lily

β€œIt is that the individual has within himself or herself vast resources for self-understanding, for altering his or her self-concept, attitudes and self-directed behavior - and that these resources can be tapped if only a definable climate of facilitative [non-judgmental and unconditional positive regards] can be provided”

β€” Carl Rogers

Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy: The focus is on you

You are a self-determining, goal directed and purposeful being. You already possess the inner power and wisdom to overcome life obstacles. Therapy with me offers a non-judgmental, safe, and neutral space to explore and identify that which stands in your way, bringing insight, understanding, and self-empowerment. Self-empowerment helps you move towards self-improvement and solving your problems.

Couple Therapy

Couple Therapy: The focus is on the relationship

In couple therapy, I use a systematic approach which helps to uncover the negative circular interaction that is destroying the emotional intimacy and trust in the relationship.  You will learn to break the cycle of these negative patterns, and by helping you create a new positive approach to the situation, both you and your partner can heal. Such approaches allow both of you to feel heard, validated, and safe while learning how to better meet each other's emotional needs. Therapy can provide a neutral and safe place where negative patterns, which are dragging you downward, can be identified and corrected.

Family Therapy

Family Therapy: The focus is on the family as a whole

By the time you are thinking about contacting a professional to help your kids, you may be feeling lost and overwhelmed. But take comfort in knowing you are doing your best. Parenting is the most difficult job you will ever encounter. As a family therapist, I first look at what you already doing right, and work with you to build on that. I work closely with you as the parent(s), to discover what your children misbehavior means within the developmental stages, and learn how to set limits and boundaries to gain their cooperation within any age. Children crave structure, consistency, and boundaries.  Once the parental system is secure and impenetrable, then the family will be secured.
