Services
Individual Therapy
Our individual therapy sessions create a safe space for personal growth and emotional healing. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and somatic resourcing, we help clients navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Each session focuses on developing personalized strategies to improve mental wellness and build resilience through a mind-body connection.
Couples Counseling
Specialized relationship therapy addresses communication challenges and emotional disconnect in partnerships. We employ Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Gottman Method techniques to strengthen bonds and resolve conflicts. This service supports couples navigating life transitions, infidelity recovery, and non-traditional relationship structures while fostering deeper understanding and connection.
Play Therapy
Play therapy helps children and teens process emotional challenges through creative expression. Using age-appropriate techniques, we address behavioral issues, trauma recovery, and self-esteem concerns. This approach allows young clients to communicate through play while developing healthier coping mechanisms and emotional regulation skills in a supportive environment.
Trauma Recovery
Our trauma-informed care utilizes EMDR and Somatic Experiencing to process traumatic experiences. Specialized treatment addresses PTSD symptoms from sexual trauma, childhood experiences, and complex trauma. We focus on creating safety, processing memories, and rebuilding resilience through both cognitive and body-based therapeutic approaches.
Perinatal Mental Health
Specialized care addresses mental health challenges during pregnancy and postpartum. We support clients through perinatal mood disorders, pregnancy loss, and fertility struggles. Our approach combines clinical therapy with mindfulness practices to promote emotional well-being during these critical life transitions while addressing anxiety and depressive symptoms.
