Note: Even though I may start with an individual, I often see the need to include other family or significant others in sessions. My belief is that a symptom or behavior is often just a small part of a larger system with many interacting pieces. For example, if your car engine isn't running smoothly, it probably will work better if you change the spark plugs, however it will have it's top performance if all of the systems are taken care of. Sometimes a car needs a full tune up of all it's parts to run well, just like a family will function better when everybody takes responsibility for their part.
Couples Counseling
Most couples I work with express a desire for a deeper and more “real” relationship. Unfortunately, society has fallen short of providing the tools we need to develop and nurture this type of relationship. So have the environments we have been raised in. This lack of preparation is responsible for our high divorce rate and many sad, frustrated and confused couples. My approach to working with couples will not only help them to understand the “what was that” that just happened between us, but will also help to build a healthy skill set that will encourage empathy , good communication, trust, respect, and a sense of truly being “married.”

Performance Enhancement

- Negative Beliefs about your abilities invariably cause you to underachieve?
- Anxiety interfering with your test scores or focus?
- Mental blocks keeping you from achieving the success you desire?
- Has an injury kept you fearful or cautious in your sport?
If any of this sounds like you, you will want to consider this aspect of my service. I utilize EMDR to help move beyond the self doubts, barriers, or anxiety to a place of confidence and trust in your natural abilities.Call now if you are interested in seeing yourself meet your ideal goals. 920-884-1145 or email Karen.
