Hi, I'm Zoe. Do you often struggle with interpersonal relationship with friends, romantic partners or family members and find yourself caught in similar relationship patterns? I help those who want to work on creating and fostering healthy and fulfilling relationships. Together we will work on examining why you often feel stuck in repetitive relationships patterns that you can't seem to get out of and the ways that it impacts other areas of your life. I use an attachment based lens to help guide treatment and explore the ways your past attachment patterns may be showing up for you in the present. I also specialize in working with individual who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism/productivity and self-esteem issues. If you feel like this applies to you I offer a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit in working with each other.
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing and what you are hoping to get out of therapy. For individuals, we will work on the adult attachment interview as a way for me to learn about your attachment history and gain insight into your attachment patterns. For couples, we will work on the oral history interview to gain information on the history of your relationship.
When working with individuals and couples I tailor the treatment approach to your specific needs and pull from a variety of theories and approach to best support your goals of therapy.
I am focused on working with adolescents and young adults (age 18-35) and couples who are interested in working on relationship problems, feelings of anxiety, life transitions and self-esteem issues. I am trained in Gottman couples therapy and have a psychodynamic/attachment based lens in working with clients.
In working with clients through an attachment-based lens we will explore the history of your upbringing and impact of primary attachment figures on attachment patterns in both past and present relationships.
I specialize in helping clients from a CBT background identify their negative thought patterns that may be contributing to feelings of anxiety/depression and help to identify new patterns of thinking
In combination with other CBT exercises we will work on finding ways to better cope with feelings of stress and overwhelm through building mindfulness practices and increasing body-mind awareness response to stress.
