Individual Work: After working in the mental health field for over 10 years I have come to understand that every healing journey is different. With this in mind I try my best to offer individualized sessions that fit the unique and individual needs of my patients. Some of my patients enjoy creating art, some like to explore dreamwork, and some would prefer to discuss what is going on for them in a more structured conversational way. Regardless of what you are struggling with I will always try to show up for you with compassion and open-mindedness. I always book a no-cost consultation before working with a new patient. This allows us both to discuss how we might work together and get a feel for whether the fit is right. If we decided to work together I like to start with a structured intake to understand your history and what sorts of experiences you have been through. From there we will book regular sessions at intervals that work for your budget and for your healing/growth process. Couples and Relationship Work: My work with relationships is grounded in the Gottman method, which is an evidence based, rigorously tested method that helps people better understand and strengthen their relationship. This work is quite structured in the beginning and takes the following course: 1) We meet together and go over your relationship history. This generally takes 90 minutes. 2) Each person does "The Relationship Check-Up", an online assessment to better help me understand you and your relationship. 3) I meet with each person separately for a 50 minute session to better understand the individual issues impacting the relationship. 3) We meet together for a feedback session in which we go over my findings and discuss how to move forward. This session typically lasts 90 minutes and involves me giving you resources and tools to help you address your specific relationship issues. We will also discuss whether ongoing sessions are needed to help support your relationship.
