Therapy Models and Approaches
Often, one or more partners in a couple will be struggling with personal issues. To work with these in the context of our couples' work, I may utilize tools or techniques from the models and approaches listed below. Therapy will be tailored to your unique needs, with an emphasis on individual strengths. These approaches offer valuable tools to navigate life’s challenges, all while respecting the rich diversity that shapes who you are.
If an individual partner requires more one-on-one work than our couples time can accommodate, a referral to individual therapy will be encouraged.
