My approach to therapy as a Jungian analyst is to listen deeply to discover the unique person that you are and the problems you are facing. In a safe, caring, and supportive setting we will utilize dream analysis, journaling, and other creative work to help guide you back to the wisdom within.
If you or your spouse is considering divorce, but you are not completely sure that is the best path, then Discernment Counseling is designed for you. In just 1 to 5 sessions, our trained therapists can help you and your spouse gain clarity and confidence about a direction for your relationship. Discernment Counseling provides an innovative approach that is very different from traditional couples counseling. Rather than becoming mired in a discussion of marital problems, the goal in Discernment Counseling is to help you and your spouse decide whether to try to restore your marriage to health, move toward divorce, or maintain the status quo. No matter how you are feeling about your marriage or the decision to divorce, I will treat each of you with compassion and respect as we help you gain clarity and confidence about a direction for your relationship.
We have lots of experience in working with couples and families dealing with divorce, particularly high conflict couples and families. Our work in Family Law matters has prepared us to be helpful to you in managing your emotional life through the divorce, and work on restructuring your identity in your post-divorce life.
