Couples

Relationships shape who we are and how we feel about ourselves.  Couples therapy is an opportunity to readjust your relationship to better meet each of your needs. 

In couples therapy we will focus on identifying patterns that show up in your relationship including internal and external experiences. Once identified, we can move towards developing healthier ways of relating and connecting.
  • Do you and your partner need help getting through a difficult time? We can improve your relationship with better communication and conflict resolution skills.
  • Are you and your partner arguing more than connecting? We can find ways to regulate emotions, stay calm, and use healthy communication skills so that new problems and old problems can finally be resolved.
  • Would you like to feel closer and more connected? We will explore ways that the two of you can get the most from your relationship.

Group

Many people struggle to connect with others. In a time of increased social media e.g. Twitter, Facebook and texting, our world is moving away from real, meaningful connection. However, everyone needs genuine connection with others to feel nurtured and to grow. 

Group therapy offers a unique opportunity to connect at a deeper level with others, develop a sense of “belonging” and gain encouragement from other participants. 

It is a way to know that you are not alone and that there are others with similar experiences. I aim to provide a safe space where you can explore your experience in the presence of others who are working through similar issues. 
  • Do you have a difficult time relating to others? Group therapy can help you learn new ways to communicate and connect with others.
  • Are you tired of feeling like you are suffering alone? In group therapy you can give and get support from others who share a similar experiences in an environment of support and care. 
  • Do you get anxiety in social settings? Group therapy can help you develop self-confidence and coping skills.
