INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

We need people to survive. From a relational therapy approach, having a satisfying relationship is the foundation of mental health well-being. In healthy relationships, we are likely to find support in our darkest times; we may find joy, content, and purpose. Unfortunately, many of us live in a culture where we are being told that we are “too much”, we are a “burden”, or interpersonal relationships are not important. Addressing relational challenges require a gentle approach incorporating all parts of ourselves.

We are complex beings, and we are more than the sum of our physical body and our thoughts. Our physical body gives us “gut feelings”, or body sensations that are congruent with how we truly feel. Our emotional body tells us about “feelings”, and our thinking mind weaves our body sensations and our emotions into a coherent story. Effective therapy requires addressing all three parts of our being. At Into Relationship Counseling, I used a somatic approach instead of talk therapy because all parts of ourselves need attention and compassion.

Compassion and kindness is what it will take to undo years of traumatic experiences. Whether you have been a victim of physical, emotional, verbal, or spiritual abuse, there is hope, and you have the strength to overcome your past. With an approach that focuses on safety and strength, you can step into integration and ease. A goal of therapy with me is to gain the freedom to choose how you want to react when confronted with triggers.

We are not broken, and we are not burdens. We can transform who we already are into strengths that will work for us, instead of against us. To begin this transformative journey of self acceptance and empowerment, book a 15 minutes phone call with me, and we will explore how I can support you.
