Therapy Offered
I base my approach off a few variables such as your personal history, presenting concerns, prior experience with therapy, previous or current psychiatric interventions, support systems, suspected personality structure, your goals, and how long you are willing to attend. Long term psychotherapy can be difficult to sustain with an initial mistrust of therapy generally, in combination with a turbulent economy and responsibilities at work and home.

After sufficient rapport is built we can alter course based on your goals and the style of therapy you prefer in conjunction with my clinical judgment and determination of your best interests. For example, if you want to cope with a symptom within a few sessions we could address your experience of the symptom, origins, symptom circumstance, and so on before working on skills from manualized orientations. However, if that does not work, it would be important to discuss your idea of why the interventions and psychoeducation did not work, and further encourage you to work forwards using a depth approach.
Overall, I intend to help you learn enough about yourself to lead a life with an increased sense of agency and capacity for productivity and play.
With couples the same considerations as individual therapy are taken. However, couples therapy is a unique beast in which contempt and resentment are often paired with poor communication skills, or generally mismatched ideas for cooperative living. Therefore, a bulk of our work together will focus on the creation of ideal relationship dynamics and psychoeducation and skill learning to implement those dynamics.
Further, I will only work with couples if both parties are in agreeance of a problem and have a serious intent to work through said problem together in a collaborative approach. Please do not manipulate your partner into coming. If there is any hesitation, or concerns related to working through interpersonal conflicts together and with humility your counselor will refer you to an appropriately licensed professional.
