Individual & Couples Therapy
Individual Therapy:
As your individual therapist, we strive to provide you a non-judgmental and confidential space in which you feel supported as you progress towards your personal and relationship goals. Sometimes, therapy can feel uncomfortable because you are recalling difficult experiences, reflecting on tough relationships, or experimenting with new ways of approaching a familiar problem. We promise to stand by you and help hold you steady during these moments. Our approach is whole-person-centered. We strive to understand you within your cultural, geopolitical, historical, social, spiritual, professional, and familial context so we can offer support that is relevant to YOU as you journey towards growth.
Therapy is most effective when you engage with regular frequency and are an active participant in your healing process
Couples Therapy:
As your couples therapist, we are honored to bear witness to the relationship that makes you feel most raw and vulnerable. We strive to maintain a balanced alliance with both partners. Rather than taking sides in a fight, our role is to highlight the relational patterns that you are both getting stuck in, time and time again, and to offer ways to break those unhelpful cycles. We will equip you with tools that will help resolve conflict and improve relationship satisfaction.
Our approach integrates aspects of Gottman, Acceptance and Commitment, and Emotionally Focused therapies. Initially, we will focus on understanding the history of your partnership and the expectations and values that each partner brings into this alliance. Future sessions will center on progressing towards collaboratively determined relationship goals.
Couples therapy can be beneficial to people at all stages of their relationship, even while dating or prior to marriage (pre-marital). Couples therapy is most effective when both partners engage with regular frequency, are active participants in their healing process, and faithfully complete between-session assignments.
