Things are okay until they are not. You try to “fix” how badly you feel by Avoiding Thoughts and Behaviors but it’s not sustainable. Sooner than Later, Anxiety in the form of Frustration and Irritability sneak in.
Relational & Dynamic Therapy provides the long-term Relief you seek.
Hi, I’m Randi.
You’ve learned to Avoid (Emotional) Pain.
But it comes with the cost of limiting your ability to Relax & Access Joy.
Therapy is a place to rest, consider and feel your way through the past, so you can Be in the Freedom of the Present.
Impulsively take care of the needs of others before considering your own?
How do you Avoid your Inner Experience?
Distance yourself from the deeper connection you desire with loved ones and friends so no one really gets to know you?
Focus on being Stressed and Anxious, convinced that something is wrong with you or others?
Flee from conflict or immediately try to solve it (and make it go away)?
You Are Not Alone
Therapy
-
Talk Therapy is more than a conversation, it’s a spotlight on you - your thoughts, emotions and behavior which are the cornerstones of your character. Here we get curious, and make a point of not blaming or shaming how things are and have come to be. The idea is to detect what happens in the body and mind and bring conscious awareness to this process, so that you have more emotional options and behavioral choices available to you when in your daily life.
Holistic Intensives
-
A standard weekly session isn’t the best format to incorporate insights and new understanding. The Intensive format is focused, yet allows for space and time needed for the revealing of unconscious patterns “stick” so changes can take place. These sessions are scheduled in 3 hours blocks and incorporate Talk Therapy, Somatic Awareness and Bodywork in no specific order along with other tools that I might offer if deemed useful.
Dynamic. Experiential. Somatic. Relational.
I practice
Intensive Short Term Dynamic Therapy (ISTDP)
Talk Therapy focused on the Here and Now experience & expanding Self-Awareness.
Great for: recognizing anxiety, clarifying thoughts and feeling feelings in real time
Therapy is not simply a conversation but a process that highlights an internal conflict.
Individual Therapy brings attention to where emotions, understanding and actions intersect, so you can make conscious changes towards how you want
to think, feel and act.
Somatic Bodywork focuses directly on Regulating the Nervous System and the Breath through awareness of the Body and gentle, yet firm Therapeutic Touch inviting a sense of safety and space inside and out.
