Therapy

Life is full of transitions, some we choose and some we don't, and they're not always easy to navigate alone.  Depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, and general stressors are all things that I can assist clients in navigating in healthy ways by breaking maladaptive patterns that no longer serve them. 

Couples struggle.   Let's normalize that as a fact.  As a partner in a couple and as part of a couple system, we don't always know how to navigate these struggles in ways that don't trigger our own maladaptive patterns from our families of origin or patterns that once served the relationship but increase conflict and distance rather than decrease it. 

The counseling space should be a safe place for relationships of any kind (including but not limited to: Polyamorous, Open, and Kink) to navigate communication struggles, unclear boundaries, and general struggles that can occur with any of our relationships.  I am open to counseling any type of relationship and eager to help an often unseen population.  

Every family has its own rhythm, its own rules (spoken and unspoken), and its own ways of handling stress. Sometimes those patterns work beautifully. Other times, a move, a divorce, a new partner, a diagnosis, a teen pulling away, or an adult child returning home throws everything off, and the same arguments start happening on repeat.  I don't look for one problem or problematic person. I look at how everyone in the family affects one another, so we can make the whole system run more smoothly instead of putting the weight on one factor. 

An intensive condenses weeks of therapy into one focused 3-hour session, giving you uninterrupted time to dig into what's really going on.

Intensives are designed for relationships that feel safe. If there is physical harm, threats, or fear in your relationship, please contact me privately so we can talk about the best support for you.

What's included:

• 3 hours of therapy with a 1-hour follow up a few weeks later

• A workbook and homework to keep momentum and change going.
