Individual Therapy
We start therapy for many reasons—when we feel stuck in life or trapped in unhealthy patterns, when going through loss or navigating big decisions, when trying to cope with anxieties or painful emotions, or when we want help reaching a goal. We might be hesitant to reach out for support, but we aren’t meant to overcome hard times alone. A collaborative counseling relationship can help us see how old behaviors are blocking us from moving forward, teach us new skills, and inspire courage to take action towards positive change. Together we will explore your values and needs, practice grounding and mindfulness, build self-compassion and self-regulation, and learn to trust your inner guidance.
Individual sessions are 60-minutes for the initial session, and 55-minutes for ongoing sessions.
Relationship Therapy
Being with a partner or partners requires self-knowledge, accountability, and flexibility. When we find ourselves at a relationship crossroads, in conflict with our partner, gridlocked on a recurring issue, or feeling distant, relationship therapy can repair our connection, and help us make scientific-based changes to create a secure and pleasurable intimate relationship. Using the research-informed Gottman Method, clients will learn strategies to build on existing strengths to improve their relationships, or find a mutually healthy way to part ways.
Relationship sessions are 75-minutes long for the initial session, and 60 minutes for ongoing sessions.
DBT Skills Group + DBT Graduate Group
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, along with a mindfulness approach from Zen Buddhism, grounded in the philosophy of dialectics, which teaches us to embrace the opposites of acceptance and change. Following the DBT Skills curriculum developed by Marsha Linehan, we cover the 4 modules of Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Sessions are psychoeducational in nature, which means it often feels more like a class than therapy, although I invite members to bring their day to day experiences into session get support in using the skills outside of our group meetings.
