MY SPECIALTIES
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
If you've found yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, lonely, or wondering why you can't seem to get to where you want to be - you're in the right place. In our confidential, one-on-one sessions, I will work with you to figure out your goals for therapy and help you move towards the life you want to live. My integrative approach to individual therapy draws from my experience providing evidence-based treatment to individuals with severe and complex PTSD and co-occurring mood disorders. I pull from Cognitive Processing Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy, and Relational Cultural Therapy.
Common Issues for Individual Therapy
I provide expert care for individuals who have experienced trauma in their lifetime, might be experiencing feelings of sadness, anxiety, or depression, feeling isolated, having trouble adjusting to life transitions (new job, relationship changes, moves, etc.), or generally looking for support as they navigate stressful daily life demands.
COUPLES/RELATIONSHIP THERAPY
Couples/relationship therapy is for any pairing of people, regardless of what you call one another - partners, spouses, siblings, parent-child, or still figuring it out. If you find yourselves having the same argument over and over, unable to get on the same page, lacking the spark you once had, feeling disconnected, or you just want to strengthen what you have and make sure you stay on the right track, relationship therapy can help. We will work together to identify goals, build and strengthen communication skills, and increase a sense of connection and safety in the relationship. My approach to relationship therapy is informed primarily by Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy, Structural Couple Therapy, and Emotion Focused Therapy.
Common Issues for Relationship Therapy
I treat a variety of issues in relationship therapy. For those in romantic relationships, common concerns we can work on in therapy include communication issues, a desire to strengthen emotional intimacy and improve physical intimacy, repair from relational traumas (e.g., betrayals, infidelity, etc.), and promote a general sense of safety and closeness in the relationship.
I also work with dyads in non-romantic relationships - for example, ​siblings, parents with adult children, and close friends or coworkers. Issues we can work on in relationship therapy include improving communication, repairing relational traumas, adjusting to changes in the relationship due to the passage of time, and building emotional closeness, safety, and trust in the relationship.
