Let’s get started.
We can help you get there.
Drawing on specialized training and proven therapeutic approaches, we offer effective care for a variety of treatment needs.
Individual Therapy
Because every story is uniquely shaped by relationships, experiences, and the unconscious, healing requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach. Individual therapy offers a space to explore the patterns, defenses, and themes that influence how you relate to yourself and others.
Through a psychodynamic lens, we work to uncover the roots of your suffering—both past and present—while creating space for new ways of being. By reflecting together on your experiences, emotions, and relationships, we can identify the changes you long for and support you in moving toward deeper healing, growth, and connection.
Individual therapy can address issues such as:
Exploring the impact of past experiences – uncovering how early relationships and trauma continue to shape present struggles.
Understanding patterns of thought and behavior – bringing unconscious defenses and beliefs into awareness so new choices can emerge.
Navigating anxiety, depression, or trauma – making sense of painful symptoms as signals of deeper wounds that can be healed.
Working through relationship difficulties – examining attachment needs, fears, and longings that influence how you connect with others.
Cultivating greater self-understanding and self-compassion – creating space for authentic growth and change.
Family Therapy
Family therapy provides a space to understand the complex dynamics, attachment patterns, and unspoken roles that shape how a family functions. By bringing these dynamics into awareness, families can work through conflict, improve communication, and foster a greater sense of safety and connection.
This work often involves grieving losses together, navigating life transitions, processing the impact of a diagnosis, or repairing longstanding relational patterns. Through guided reflection and dialogue, family members can begin to see and hear one another differently—creating opportunities for healing, cooperation, and more authentic connection.
Family therapy can address issues such as:
- Grieving the loss of a loved one – creating space for each member’s unique grief while strengthening the family’s capacity to mourn together.
- Coping with life transitions – exploring how change disrupts roles and attachments, and finding new ways to support one another.
- Processing the diagnosis of a loved one – understanding the emotional impact on the whole family system and building resilience together.
- Healing unhealthy family patterns – uncovering intergenerational dynamics that fuel conflict or disconnection, and fostering healthier ways of relating.
- Finding new ways to cooperate and engage – developing communication rooted in safety, empathy, and mutual respect.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy provides a space to understand and repair the patterns that shape your relationship. Whether you are navigating infertility, recovering from betrayal, or struggling with boundaries and family dynamics, therapy supports you in addressing the challenges that strain intimacy and connection.
The relationship itself becomes the focus of our work—an active space where both partners are invited to reflect on their own histories, attachment needs, and relational dynamics. Through this exploration, couples can uncover the deeper forces driving conflict, cultivate empathy, and foster a more secure and satisfying bond.
Couples therapy can address issues such as:
Recovering from betrayal or broken trust – exploring the pain and rebuilding safety through openness and accountability.
Navigating infertility or family planning – tending to grief, hope, and the emotional toll these challenges place on the relationship.
Setting boundaries with extended family – strengthening the couple bond while managing outside influences.
Breaking cycles of conflict and disconnection – identifying the underlying attachment needs and fears driving recurring patterns.
Deepening intimacy and communication – fostering vulnerability, empathy, and a more secure emotional connection.
Our Most Commonly Used Modalities
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process traumatic memories and reduce the distressing emotions and physiological reactions connected to them. EMDR targets the negative beliefs formed during traumatic experiences while supporting the brain’s natural ability to heal and integrate those memories.
Research has shown that EMDR can bring significant relief in a shorter timeframe than many traditional talk therapies, making it a powerful and effective approach for trauma recovery.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a structured, evidence-based treatment specifically designed for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Delivered over the course of 12 sessions, CPT provides a focused and systematic approach to understanding how trauma has shaped thoughts, beliefs, and emotional responses.
Unlike standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), CPT is trauma-focused and directly addresses the ways traumatic experiences impact self-perception, safety, trust, power, and relationships. Therapists certified in CPT are highly trained to help clients recognize unhelpful patterns, challenge trauma-based beliefs, and develop healthier ways of understanding themselves and the world.
The Gottman Method & Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT Founded by Dr. Sue Johnson)
Effective couples therapy requires specialized training and approaches that address the complexity of intimate relationships. We draw from evidence-based models to help couples not only reduce conflict, but also deepen connection and resilience.
The Gottman Method offers practical, research-driven tools for navigating conflict, enhancing communication, and strengthening the foundation of a relationship. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), grounded in attachment theory, helps couples move beyond cycles of disconnection by uncovering unmet emotional needs and fostering a more secure, empathic bond.
Together, these approaches support couples in healing ruptures, repairing trust, and creating a more fulfilling way of relating.
Psychodynamic & Attachment Oriented
Psychodynamic & Attachment Oriented
Psychodynamic and attachment-oriented therapies are depth-focused approaches that recognize how early relational experiences shape emotional development, identity, and patterns of connection throughout life. For individuals who have experienced trauma—whether acute, chronic, or relational—these modalities offer a compassionate and exploratory path toward healing. By making space to understand the unconscious impact of past experiences, clients can begin to recognize how protective strategies and emotional responses developed in the context of earlier relationships may continue to influence current behavior, relationships, and self-perception.
Attachment-based therapy emphasizes the importance of secure relationships in emotional regulation and psychological well-being. When combined with a psychodynamic lens, this approach helps clients uncover and process unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, and internalized beliefs that may have formed in response to neglect, abuse, or disrupted caregiving. The therapeutic relationship itself serves as a reparative experience, offering a safe, attuned environment where clients can gradually build trust, increase self-awareness, and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others.

FAQ
Do I need a referral from my doctor?

How long does each therapy session last?
Each therapy session is 50-55 minutes.
How often should I expect to have sessions?
The frequency of sessions varies based on individual needs. Most clients begin with weekly sessions and gradually reduce the frequency as they make progress toward their treatment goals. In some cases, meeting every two weeks or less frequently may be more suitable, depending on your availability and preferences. This will be discussed in detail during your intake session.
If I have never done therapy before, what can I expect?
Taking the step to begin therapy is significant and can naturally bring feelings of uncertainty. You can expect your therapist to approach your inner and outer experiences with curiosity and openness. Throughout the process, you will be invited to share at your own pace and comfort level, as you explore and make sense of your experiences. Your therapist will provide tools and strategies to help you navigate, problem-solve, and process various themes. It’s normal for it to take a few sessions before you start feeling fully comfortable with the therapeutic process.
