Individual therapy provides a warm and welcoming environment to examine aspects in which one may wish to seek further understanding and change.

I encourage clients to work through challenging situations and relationships, unexamined unhealthy patterns, uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, and unwanted behaviors. Ultimately, I hope the work we do together leads them to experience a greater sense of self-efficacy, confidence, emotional freedom, and meaning.

Couples of all experiences, social identities, and compositions are welcome. Couples enter therapy for different reasons. They may be motivated by specific issues such as communication, trust, emotional connection, financial matters, power imbalances, infidelity, sex, parenting, infertility, difficulties with in-laws, etc.; the impact of recent changes such as the arrival of a new baby, death of a relative, relocation, loss of a job, political/social unrest, etc.; or sometimes an indefinable yet persistent dissatisfaction with the relationship.

Couple therapy can help to support the development of skills and strategies to open and sustain meaningful communication, allow to experience and examine past and present patterns of interaction, generate introspection and insights into the relationship, and identify and make use of untapped strengths and resources to create changes. Depending on the couple’s specific situation and goals, therapy can focus on repairing, strengthening, and/or transforming relational bonds.

All families are welcome, may they be biological, chosen, or a mix of both. Family therapy can help address issues of communication among family members, find fresh perspectives and solutions to long standing problems or recent family situations, and contribute to create an environment that nurtures the wellbeing of all family members.

Family therapy allows to explore how different parts and processes within the family organization interact and influence one another. Family therapy would, for instance, look at how conflict between a parent and a child may influence the parents’ relationship with one another and vice versa; how the parents’ past and present relational patterns may influence the way each of them relates to the child; how parents’ interactions with the child may influence the child’s behavior toward each parent. By considering all aspects and participants within the family, family therapy grants direct access to several experiences and understandings, taps into multiple sources of strength and resilience, and expands the possibilities for collaborative interventions and larger holistic changes.
