“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.”
-David Richo
Family therapy: helps to understand and address problems by improving patterns of interaction between family members. It is designed to improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen relationships within the family unit. This type of therapy is generally short-term and geared towards achieving specific goals.
Couples therapy: Maintaining a relationship involves the union of two separate individuals who often have differing needs, expectations, communication styles, and psychological make-ups. Whether you’re encountering problems with your partner or just want to help your relationship get off to a healthy start, couples therapy is a valuable tool that can increase the effectiveness of your communication, deepen empathy toward each other, and address conflict more productively.
I use an eclectic style with couples, a combination of psychodynamic, relational, and behavioral principles and techniques best suited to help each couple reach their goals.
