Services

The quality of our relationships shapes our daily lives, our sense of security, and our overall well-being. When conflict, disconnection, or personal challenges arise, they don’t just affect one part of life—they impact everything. Therapy provides a structured space to work through difficulties, strengthen communication, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

I work with a range of dyads, including romantic partners, colleagues, friends, and family members. My approach includes couples therapy, couple-based interventions for individual psychological conditions, individual therapy, and brief, targeted interventions for concerns such as relationship challenges, communication difficulties, life transitions, and mental health concerns affecting personal and relationship well-being.

Couples Therapy

Common areas of focus include:

  • Communication challenges and recurring conflicts

  • Emotional disconnection and loss of intimacy

  • Affair recovery and rebuilding trust

  • Navigating major life transitions (marriage, parenthood, relocation, career shifts)

  • Premarital counseling for couples preparing for lifelong commitment

  • Balancing high-achieving careers with relationship health

Sessions follow a structured, research-based model using either Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) or Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy, or Functional Analytic Psychotherapy to help couples understand their patterns, improve communication, and create meaningful change.

Couple-Based Interventions for Individual Psychological Conditions

Couple therapy can be an effective approach for addressing individual mental health challenges within the context of a relationship. Many psychological conditions, such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, and perinatal depression, affect not just the individual but also their partner and the overall relationship dynamic. Couple-based interventions help partners work together to reduce distress, improve communication, and strengthen emotional connection while supporting recovery.

Common Areas of Focus

  • The impact of depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, or eating disorders on the relationship

  • Reducing patterns of withdrawal, avoidance, or excessive reassurance

  • Strengthening emotional connection and partner support in managing symptoms

  • Addressing conflict patterns that contribute to or worsen psychological distress

  • Navigating relational challenges tied to perinatal depression and postpartum adjustments

  • Supporting healthy coping strategies without reinforcing unhelpful behaviors

Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy (CBCT) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that integrates cognitive-behavioral principles into couple therapy to address both individual psychopathology and relationship dynamics. By involving both partners, CBCT helps couples modify unhelpful patterns, improve communication, and build a more supportive and connected relationship that facilitates recovery.

Individual Therapy

I work with individuals who are navigating complex relationship dynamics — whether with partners, family members, or themselves. My approach supports clients in building insight, resilience, and more intentional ways of relating.

Areas I commonly support include:

  • Navigating relationship challenges (current or past)

  • Managing anxiety, stress, or OCD that impacts connection and closeness

  • Recovering from breakups or relational trauma

  • Strengthening emotional resilience and self-understanding

  • Understanding patterns from family of origin or attachment wounds

  • Processing relational ambivalence, guilt, or boundary struggles

  • Exploring identity within or outside of relationships

Brief Intervention & Prevention Services

Therapy does not always require long-term treatment. I offer structured, short-term interventions for couples and individuals who want to address challenges early or prevent issues from escalating.

These services are designed for:

  • Couples looking to strengthen their relationship before conflict becomes entrenched

  • Premarital counseling to lay a strong foundation before marriage

  • Addressing early signs of communication difficulties or emotional distance

  • Couples seeking guidance on navigating life transitions before they cause strain

  • Short-term, skills-based work for improving stress management, conflict resolution, or emotional regulation

These interventions are structured and focused, typically spanning a limited number of sessions, depending on the needs of the couple or individual.
