Individual
The process of building a strong, trusted therapeutic relationship is an integral part of our work together. As your therapist, my hope is to help navigate and guide you through any difficulties that you are experiencing. During our first three sessions, we will work together to create a treatment plan that will help clarify and structure our meetings together. We will continue to discuss and evaluate the goals outlined and explore what may help to reach them in our time together.
Couples
In couples therapy, understanding your relationship with one another, including areas of strength and areas of concern, is part of the therapeutic process. Many couples find themselves in therapy because of a disconnect that has occurred between partners, a change that affects them both, a breakdown in communication, or simply a desire to re-visit the relationship as a whole and explore future wishes and dreams together. I believe that my role as your therapist is to explore with you both how each of you sees to navigate life with one another in it. In instances where this is not possible, my role is to then help support both of you with a way to separate and feel a sense of closure from the time spent together.
Family
I see "family" as the people you are related to (whether biologically or adopted), live with and even those who you have a deep connection with in life. Family therapy can be fun. I promise. I see the presenting problem a person comes in with as part of a greater system. We are all connected and the people who surround us in life have helped shape and inform us on the decisions we make and the values and beliefs we hold. Family therapy is a really powerful way to process these beliefs, explore individual person's problems as it relates to the family as a whole and define the change that everyone in the family system can commit to.
