Couples Therapy

COMMON CONCERNS

Couples often seek support navigating challenges such as:

- Conflict resolution & communication barriers

- Emotional intimacy, trust, or infidelity

- Sexual dynamics or exploring open relationships

- Trauma, past abuse, or grief

- Life transitions (career shifts, separation, blended families)

- Neurodiversity, anxiety, or financial stress

- Cultural/racial identity and bicultural relationship dynamics

MODALITIES

My approach integrates evidence-based frameworks:

- The Developmental Model (relationship life cycle focus)

- Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) (attachment-theory based)

- The Gottman Method (communication and conflict management)

Session Structure:

Phase 1: Joint session to assess goals and dynamics.

Phase 2: Individual sessions (one per partner) to explore personal histories and needs.

Phase 3: Ongoing joint sessions, with occasional individual check-ins if beneficial to progress.

Individual Therapy

COMMON CONCERNS

Many clients explore themes similar to those in couples therapy, such as communication barriers, trust, or intimacy. Additional areas I support include:

- Emotional Well-being: Anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger management, and low self-esteem.

- Identity & Growth: Navigating life transitions, acculturation, spirituality, and self-discovery.

- Relational Dynamics: Family conflicts, relationship challenges, and boundary-setting.

- Performance & Purpose: Overcoming blocks in personal, creative, or professional realms.

MODALITIES

- Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT): Strengthening emotional awareness and relational patterns.

- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focused on behavioral improvement, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and building practical coping strategies.

- Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT): A color-based modality targeting rapid emotional and psychological shifts.

- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Trauma resolution through bilateral stimulation to reprocess distressing memories.

Session Structure:

Phase 1: Collaborative assessment of goals, challenges, and personal history.

Phase 2: Develop alternative beliefs, coping strategies, and actionable steps tailored to your needs.

Phase 3: Evaluate progress, refine tools, and adjust support to align with your evolving goals.
