Services
Individual Therapy
Personalized psychotherapy addressing anxiety, depression, and life transitions through integrated modalities including psychodynamic, mindfulness, and somatic approaches. Sessions focus on self-awareness, emotional regulation, and transforming negative core beliefs. Our holistic treatment combines EMDR and Gestalt techniques to address trauma, body-image concerns, and compulsive behaviors.
Couples Counseling
Specialized relationship therapy utilizing Imago Relationship Therapy to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connections. The Imago dialogue process creates safe spaces for partners to address betrayal, conflict, and intimacy issues. We help couples navigate pre-marital preparation, separation decisions, and ethical non-monogamy frameworks.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR treatment for trauma, anxiety, and PTSD through bilateral stimulation protocols that reprocess distressing memories. This evidence-based approach integrates eye movements or tapping with cognitive restructuring to reduce emotional charge. Sessions focus on transforming traumatic memories into adaptive beliefs while developing coping strategies for emotional regulation.
Adolescent Therapy
Developmentally appropriate therapy for teens addressing identity formation, social pressures, and emotional challenges. Drawing from educational experience in high school settings, sessions combine respect, active listening, and skill-building to navigate academic stress, relationship dynamics, and self-esteem issues in a safe, supportive environment.
Sexual Intimacy Coaching
Specialized therapy addressing sexual intimacy concerns through compassionate exploration of shame, fear, and communication barriers. Treatment includes working with compulsive sexual behaviors, pornography concerns, and erectile difficulties while promoting healthy relationship dynamics and ethical non-monogamy frameworks in a judgment-free space.
