Assessment
Couples Therapy begins with a thorough assessment to tailor services to your needs.
**Step 1 - Consultation Call**
It's beneficial to reach out to therapists to get a feel for their personalities and therapeutic methods. During call, I'll ask about your reasons for seeking therapy and explain my approach. I'll also collect information regarding your insurance or out-of-pocket payment options. If it feels like a good fit, we can proceed to step 2.
**Step 2 Gottman Connect Online Questionnaires**
Each partner will receive a link to complete the Gottman Connect Questionnaires. These are meant for you to complete independently from one another. Results are confidential but will be analyzed to inform plan for sessions.
**Step 3 - Assessment**
I will spend a total of 4 sessions with you as follows:
-
(1) 60-min Couples Session
-
(2) 45-min Individual Sessions
-
(1) 60-min Feedback and Planning Session
​​
**Step 4 - Couple Therapy begins**
After assessment sessions Couple Therapy begins.

My Approach
Through my work as a therapist I have learned that as an individual we own our own stories. Regardless whether these stories are tragic or pleasant, we hold the power to rewrite our personal narratives. Author and College Professor, Brene Brown tells us that, "when we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we get to rewrite the ending." This is a powerful reminder that we hold the key to our own resilience and that we are NOT defined by our past experiences. This is the lens through which I approach the therapeutic process with clients.
​
As a clinician, I am simply an active facilitator in guiding your process as deep as you desire. The premise of owning your story and rewriting the ending remains the same whether I am engaged with a child, adolescent or adult in a myriad of relational constellations.​​
