Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Anxiety. Depression. Panic. OCD. Phobias. Stress. Overthinking. Sleep.

CBT is practical and present-focused. Together we look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors keep a problem going, then change the patterns that aren’t serving you.

It’s structured, collaborative, and research-backed, with skills you can use between sessions. Many people feel a real difference within the first several weeks.

Supportive / Integrative Therapy

Life Transitions. Stress. Grief. Self-Worth. Burnout. Feeling Stuck.

Not every season calls for a manual. Supportive therapy is a steady, nonjudgmental space to think out loud, feel heard, and get your footing again.

We stay integrative. If a skill from CBT would help, we use it. If what you mostly need is room to think out loud, that’s the session.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Recurring Patterns. Relationships. Attachment. Old Wounds. Identity. Insight.

Psychodynamic work looks beneath the surface, at the patterns, relationships, and early experiences quietly shaping how you feel and relate today.

The payoff is insight that lasts. You understand where a symptom comes from, and it starts to lose its hold on you.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Big Emotions. Impulsivity. Relationship Conflict. Distress Tolerance. Self-Regulation.

DBT builds teachable skills for riding out intense emotions without being run by them: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

It takes acceptance and change seriously at the same time, which is exactly what helps when feelings run big and fast. Skills you can reach for right in the moments you need them.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Couples. Recurring Conflict. Disconnection. Rebuilding Trust. Attachment.

EFT helps partners get out of the same fight and back to each other. It works beneath the surface argument, with the emotions and attachment needs that keep the fight coming back.

EFT is one of the best-researched couples therapies there is, and a reliable path out of gridlock. No taking sides, and every kind of partnership is welcome here.
