Work together to reach a common goal

-
Treatment planning from a relationship expert
Treatment plans are uniquely tailored to the personalities, needs, & values of each individual client! We’ll look at your relationship from a past-present-future model to process through where you’re at and where you would like to be.

Weekly assignments that strengthen your relationship
“Homework” will often be assigned towards the end of the session and then reviewed at the beginning of the following session. This will often be in the form of activities to do together or topics to discuss. Most of what you get out of therapy is the work you put in outside of the session!

Receive custom handouts & info sheets
Do you enjoy having something you can read later while at home? You’ll receive a physical or digital copy of helpful tips relating to what we are working on in treatment. We also have handouts relating to a wide variety of mental health topics.

Learn how to establish healthy patterns of communication
When there’s a reoccurring issue, the “quick fix” is often to resolve the issue at the surface-level. When the problem continues to happen, it means the issue is most likely in the behaviors leading up to the problem, the assumptions we make about our partner’s actions, or unresolved trauma. I’ll help you to learn what healthy communication patterns look like in your relationship and how to break the negative cycle.
