Our Approach

We are integrative in our work with humans, customizing our therapeutic modality to match your unique goals and needs.  We pull from neuroscience-backed, evidence-based modalities including Gottman Method and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. 

Through a trauma-focused lens, we recognize that each partner brings unique attachment patterns and history into the relationship.  Because trauma and attachment issues can be healed through romantic partnerships, we may recommend targeted trauma or attachment work as part of your interventions for couples counseling.

Additionally, drawing from the Gottman Method, we view the relationship itself as the client.  Using evidence-based relationship science, our goal is to help you build a stronger healthier connection together.

Our 3-Step Assessment

- First Appointment (Joint Session): We will review your relationship history, discuss what brought you to counseling, and explore your goals.

- Second Appointment (Individual Sessions): Each partner will meet individually with the counselor to review personal history. 

- Third Appointment (Joint Session): The counselor will share feedback and tailored recommendations. 

Note: Couples sessions are 90 minutes.  The second appointment consists of two 45 minute sessions.
