individual therapy
People seek therapy for many reasons. Many people come to therapy when the ways that they have learned to cope or survive are no longer working for them. You may feel stuck, anxious, self-conscious, frustrated, fragile, or even numb. I believe that everyone could benefit from therapy at some point in their lives. Some people like to think of therapy as a way to tend to their mental and emotional well-being, similar to how they go to a medical doctor for their physical health. Others think of it as a “tune-up,” or as an opportunity to gain a new perspective on an issue they’re facing.
relationship therapy
Relationships are the most meaningful and challenging part of being human. Our close relationships are often where our deepest wounding comes to the surface. Most of us aren’t taught how to communicate effectively, build trust, or resolve conflict. Therapy can be a place to increase insight into your patterns and practice the skills needed to build the life that you and your partner desire.
family therapy
Family therapists approach their work with a heavy focus on contextual and systemic dynamics. Therapy is a neutral space where an unbiased third party supports you in exploring the meaning around your conflict and how to work towards change. Families often struggle with the adjustment and grief of life transitions from one stage to the next. Collaborative therapy supports greater understanding and deeper relationships among family members.
Sex therapy
Sex therapists provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space to explore sexual issues and identity, by yourself or in a relationship. Working with a sex therapist will often involve an exploration of sexual attitudes and where they came from, learning about human sexuality, and instruction on how to reduce anxiety and increase pleasure, connection, and satisfaction.
