Healing from painful memories and experiences takes courage and a compassionate, present-focused awareness. Having a caring and knowledgeable ally in your healing process helps provide necessary perspective on and distance from your trauma. As you learn to develop the inner tools to manage your emotions and memories, you will develop insight into your needs, compassion towards yourself and others, and the tools to manage life's stressors.
In therapy, we seek to repair the damage trauma has caused and help you to re-claim a healthy sense of trust in yourself and in others. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an effective, evidence-based trauma healing approach that helps to restore personal integrity and inner peace. By connecting with your internal resources and strengths while participating in a structured approach to heal from traumatic events, you can heal from trauma and recover your true, authentic self.
EFT (Emotionally-Focused Therapy), SE (Somatic Experiencing), and CRM (Comprehensive Resource Model) are additional modalities that we employ to help our clients heal through painful pasts and to restore their confidence in themselves and the world. Through focused attention to one's emotional and psychological needs, while providing skills for accessing inner strengths and resources, you can learn to live and experience a more holistic and integrated presence, offering hope for the future and peace in the present.

Intimacy with others starts by knowing and accepting oneself, while relationships can provide the spark towards self-exploration and growth. When we lack the proper tools to handle the demands of personal and professional relationships, we may wish to retreat into ourselves and hide from the world.
Couples and Family Therapy can help reduce relationship conflict and promote healthy, positive relationships. In therapy, you learn to honor your emotional responses and communicate your needs more effectively. Attending non-judgmentally to your emotions and needs leads to greater self-awareness and self-acceptance, enabling greater empathy and compassion towards others. Through greater understanding of yourself and others, intimacy grows and relationships deepen.
As Couples and Family Therapists, we strive to provide an empathic and non-judgmental space for clear and open communication, while providing compassion for emotional needs and addressing diverse needs in relationships. We work with families and couples of diverse orientations and meet all our clients with compassionate acceptance.
EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) for couples, as well as DBT, CBT & Mindfulness approaches, are utilized to assist with learning skills for greater understanding of one's own needs and the needs of others. Through healthy self-regulation strategies, one can achieve more personal balance and peace, enabling trust and healthy boundaries to develop into more lasting, satisfying relationships.
