Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotional Balance

"Authenticity plus compassion equals genuine connection"

About: With over 11 years of experience, I specialize in cognitive-behavioral approaches centered on managing emotions and improving daily interactions. My practice focuses on couples and individuals dealing with subtle relationship strains: hidden assumptions, protective reactions, and rising tension. I follow a straightforward method: recognize → identify → resolve. In my sessions, I share practical techniques you can apply immediately - learning to detect signals like anxiety, responding without attempting to fix everything, and providing meaningful support. Clients consistently report fewer arguments and more genuine dialogue.

Core Message: Recognize feelings - both your own and your partner's - and maintain composure during difficult moments.

Methods: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassionate Communication principles.

Credentials: Master's degree in Psychology; certified in CBT & Compassionate Communication.

Schema-Focused Therapy, Personal Limits

"Setting limits doesn't create distance - it enables genuine nearness."

About: Throughout 9 years of practice, I've guided individuals in identifying automatic patterns that emerge in close relationships: rejection anxiety, excessive monitoring, and withdrawing communication. Together we outline personal boundaries, establish mutual understandings that honor both individuals, and create meaningful connection habits. Following this training, participants confidently decline requests, accept refusals without emotional turmoil, and avoid agreeing to things that compromise their principles.

Core Message: Establish personal limits kindly - free from embarrassment or obligation.

Methods: Schema-Focused Therapy, educational psychology.

Credentials: Schema Therapy certification; professional counseling ethics.

Gestalt Approach, Connection & Feelings

"True confidence means expressing truth with kindness."

About: Twelve years in the field. I support couples trapped in the chase-and-retreat pattern - one partner seeks connection while the other withdraws. We explore the interaction rhythm: how we engage, step back, and revisit discussions. Through my training, I demonstrate concise, caring language for challenging situations so you don't resort to irony or lengthy explanations.

Core Message: Communicate person-to-person - not blame-to-justification.

Methods: Gestalt techniques, present-moment awareness.

Credentials: Comprehensive Gestalt certification program.

Relationship Wellness, Mutual Agreement

"Agreement isn't a single decision - it's continuous dialogue."

About: For a decade I've provided adult relationship education emphasizing mutual agreement, comfortable pacing, and emotional security.

The objective is creating intimacy that feels secure, considerate, and pleasurable for everyone involved.

Core Message: Discuss physical connection as naturally as any subject - at a rhythm that suits everyone.

Methods: Research-backed relationship education, mutual respect principles.

Credentials: Certified adult relationship education programs.
