Individual Therapy
In individual psychotherapy, our aim is to address your emotional and psychological challenges through collaborative efforts. We will have conversations in a secure and confidential environment to gain insight and develop coping strategies by exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The therapist's role is to provide support, feedback, and guidance to help you achieve positive changes and improve your overall well-being.
We will work together to identify the therapeutic techniques and interventions that will be most helpful to you based on your unique needs. It's important that we regularly assess what's working and what's not so that we can adjust our approach if necessary to ensure that you're receiving the support you need.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on changing negative patterns of thinking and behavior to improve emotional and mental well-being. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and by changing one of these components, we can influence the others. In CBT, the therapist works collaboratively with the client to identify and challenge negative thoughts, develop new coping strategies, and change behaviors that may be contributing to emotional distress. CBT is often used to treat a range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a specific type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that is often used to treat individuals who have experienced trauma. CPT is based on the idea that trauma can lead to distorted thoughts and beliefs, which can in turn contribute to ongoing emotional distress. In CPT, the therapist works with the client to identify and challenge these distorted thoughts, with the aim of creating a more accurate and balanced understanding of the traumatic experience. This process can help individuals to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and improve overall well-being. CPT often involves a structured set of sessions and homework assignments to help clients develop new skills and strategies for coping with trauma.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-oriented therapy that focuses on finding solutions to current problems rather than analyzing the past. SFBT is based on the belief that clients already have the resources and strengths they need to solve their problems, and the therapist's role is to help them identify and build upon those strengths. In SFBT, the therapist asks questions that help the client envision a future where the problem is no longer present and helps the client develop a plan to achieve that future. SFBT is typically brief, with a focus on achieving quick results in a limited number of sessions. It is often used to treat a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, and relationship problems.

Person-Centered Therapy, also known as client-centered therapy, is a form of talk therapy that emphasizes the individual's unique perspective and innate capacity for growth and healing. In person-centered therapy, the therapist creates a safe and non-judgmental environment where the client can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences at their own pace. The therapist works to develop a deep understanding of the client's subjective experience, offering empathy and unconditional positive regard. The goal of person-centered therapy is to help the client gain insight into themselves, increase self-esteem, and foster personal growth and change. This approach is often used to address a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered therapy that aims to explore and resolve ambivalence to change. MI is based on the belief that people have the capacity for change but may be resistant to it due to various reasons. In MI, the therapist uses a non-confrontational and empathetic approach to help the client identify and clarify their own motivations for change. The therapist collaborates with the client to develop a plan for change that is congruent with the client's values and goals. MI is often used to address issues such as addiction, unhealthy behaviors, and resistance to change.
Couples Counseling
The primary aim of couples counseling is to support couples in building a healthy and fulfilling relationship while strengthening their connection. In couples, we will work together to address and resolve conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen your relationship. During sessions, both partners will be present to explore and work through issues within their relationship. Each of you may also have an individual session to help provide additional insight that will help in working towards your goals.
The role of the therapist is to offer guidance on effective communication, help identify patterns of behavior that contribute to conflict, and teach skills to enhance the relationship. Couples counseling can assist with challenges such as infidelity, trust issues, differing parenting styles, and communication difficulties.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a type of couples therapy that is based on the idea that emotional connection is the key to a strong and healthy relationship. The approach is grounded in attachment theory, which suggests that humans have a fundamental need for close emotional bonds with others. EFT focuses on helping couples understand their emotional needs and how they affect their relationship.
The therapist works with the couple to identify negative patterns and behaviors that may be hindering emotional connection and attachment, such as criticism, defensiveness, or emotional withdrawal. The therapist helps the couple to recognize and express their emotions in a safe and supportive environment, creating a deeper understanding and connection between partners.
