Individual Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a collection of powerful, personalized tools that enhance self-awareness, promote healing, and spur positive growth. Common conditions treated with individual psychotherapy include: unstable mood, depression, anxiety, stress, interpersonal conflict, grief/loss and life-transition. Psychotherapy focuses on the full emotional experience, not just what’s problematic. We approach the work from a strength-based perspective and use what is already working and meaningful as guideposts. The goal is to create an environment that’s supportive and responsive, but also one that fosters courage, openness, and change.
Positive outcomes for individual psychotherapy include:
A restored sense of energy, well-being & optimism
Enhanced mood & emotional regulation
Reduced anxiety & stress and feelings of overwhelm
Greater emotional fluency, clarity of goals & articulation of needs
Greater relationship satisfaction & reduction in interpersonal conflict
Couples Therapy
Relationships are at the center of our life. They can be a wellspring of both happiness and conflict. They push us to adapt, learn, and grow in new ways. At their best, relationships provide a pathway to the meaning, support, and joy we all strive for.
When a relationship breaks down, the effects can be devastating. At worst, the dynamics become an "uncrackable code" of negative thoughts and feelings that create perpetual cycle of conflict with far-reaching effects.
Couples Therapy is a supportive process where we seek to heal ruptures, rekindle hope and re-establish connection. Starting Family Therapy is a powerful step towards better functioning and more rewarding relationships.
Positive outcomes for Couples Therapy include:
A restored sense of optimism & life possibilities
Enhanced communication, trust, intimacy, and mutual support
An overall reduction in conflict & relational distress
Greater emotional fluency and attunement to your needs and the needs of others
High Conflict Relationships
Conflict is a normal part of life: intractable conflict is not. If you find yourself participating in a relationship with a family member, co-worker, or other that is characterized by repetitive conflict that escalates over time, it’s time to seek professional consultation.
High conflict relationships are sustained by a constellation of specific personality traits and behaviors that foreclose the possibility of repair. These characteristics often include: dismissive and invalidating communication, elevated levels of resentment and contempt, blame-shifting, minimizing of harm, and indifference to the feelings and needs of others.
Given the complex nature of high conflict relationships, specialized interventions are required for effective resolution.
Positive outcomes for High-Conflict Relationship Therapy include:
Reduced frequency and intensity of relational conflict
Greater awareness & understanding of core relational dynamics and triggers of conflict
Improved communication, boundary maintenance and de-escalation skills
Increased collaboration in the pursuit of mutual goals
