There are several types of therapy, each with its own strengths.  Depending on the needs that bring you in for therapy, we may recommend therapy include a multi-faceted approach which may draw on group therapy, individual therapy as well as couples therapy.  We collaborate closely with other therapists, non profits and organizations so that we can facilitate enhanced supports through a network of offerings that may extend beyond the reaches of our clinical space. 

It is very important to us that clients to feel they have a safe space to share their experiences and develop skills to manage the myriad emotions that they are facing.  Together we customize a program that will be the most beneficial to you; this may change over time as well.  

From a clinical perspective, the modalities I most frequently use in my individual work are a mix of Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy.  The key tenets of IPT are to recognize and explore the role transition that occurs for individuals and couples as they face challenges, to explore feelings of grief and loss that may be occurring, and to address the interpersonal disputes that are at play.  In narrative therapy, we focus on giving clients space to tell their stories, past and present.  As clients share their stories, they are invited to imagine and discover a new narrative, one in which they proactively choose the path before them.  Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is quite different but also provides important and helpful elements of healing. In CBT, we provide tools for managing and expressing stress, anxiety and grief in healthy ways.  Internal family systems work views the self as a combination of different parts that, when acknowledged and integrated, can lead to greater internal harmony and alignment.  In couples work, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a model built on the theory that secure attachment and healthy bonds lead to balance in relationships.  Through naming and understanding patterns of conflict and why they emerge, we are able to shift and find new ways to get our needs met.
