Our Specialties
Psychotherapy provides opportunities to explore troubling or painful issues while
replenishing, restoring, and expanding available coping resources.
Our mission is to help individuals and couples evolve painful patterns in love,
often inherited from previous generations - so they can bring more playfulness and ease
into their relationships and parenting.
When it comes to deepening your relationship with yourself or your loved ones, information just isn’t enough.
It's essential that you uncover the hidden, unconscious barriers that may be keeping you from responding differently
to your unique triggers and relationship dynamics.
Over the past 20 years, we've helped countless couples gain clarity into the powerful forces driving
their biggest long-standing arguments.
Deciding to begin therapy
People enter treatment for many reasons and in many different states.
Whether you are coping with an immediate crisis or sorting through longer-standing difficulties, psychotherapy can help.
We will work with you to clarify your most urgent needs and establish the rhythm and direction of our work together.
We will explore the possibilities you envision for yourself and your hopes for how therapy can help you.
Your body-experiences such as muscle tension, breathing patterns, body-language, acute or chronic pain,
and other physical sensations can also guide our work together.
