Individual Therapy
“Self is a sea boundless and measureless.” - Kahlil Gibran
Individual therapy is a (mostly)* one-on-one journey. Each session offers a protected, dedicated time and space for self-reflection and self-discovery through supportive dialogue. Each journey is unique and cannot be fully predetermined. There is so much to be discovered through the stormy seas of our thoughts and emotions. It’s a space to reimagine your life and also accept and embrace who you are. Knowing yourself and clarifying your needs can also help build better awareness and discernment around your choices.
Commonly, people seek individual therapy for:
Mental health concerns (depression, anxiety, eating disorders)
Navigating relationships (related to romantic partnerships, family dynamics, friendships, conflicts in the workplace)
Emotional distress (overwhelming emotions, grief, loss, anger)
Trauma and post-traumatic stress (PTSD)
Stress management/Chronic stress
Self-exploration and personal growth
Coping with major life transitions (divorce, loss of a job, relocation, retirement, becoming a parent, adjusting to a new phase of life)
*There are opportunities to welcome others in your life for a session or two if including them would be helpful for you.
sex therapy
In sex therapy, we dive into the depths of desire, intimacy, sex, and pleasure. We explore your unique sexual journey, address sexual concerns, and work towards improving sexual health. The specific topics of sex therapy sessions will vary depending on the client(s), but here are some common aspects:
Sexual history assessment to gather information about specific concerns or desired outcome
Education about sexual health, functioning, and common issues
Address specific concerns such as - sexual trauma, abuse, past negative sexual experiences, sexual desire, sexual functioning, sexual satisfaction, impact of medical procedures/medication, gender, sexual orientation, etc.
Pleasure and connection in relationships
couple/relationship therapy
Even when we try to find the right rhythm in our relationships, sometimes we get stuck repeating the same patterns, having the same arguments on a loop, or even finding ourselves at an impasse, uncertain about the future of the relationship. Couple/relationship therapy offers a supportive and challenging space to witness the intricate dance of your relationship unfold. Each session provides an opportunity for you to better understand each other and your relationship dynamics.
There are many components to our relationships - sociocultural factors, power dynamics, family history, unhealed ruptures from the past, differences in values, significant life transitions (ex. marriage, parenting, empty nesting, career changes), and on. Having a dedicated space to explore concerns, have constructive conversations, and practice different ways of relating can enhance the quality of your relationship.
family therapy
Family relationships can be complex and challenging for many reasons - unresolved conflict, differences in values, poor communication, life transitions, unaddressed traumas, family secrets, etc. If you’re facing challenges within your family or finding it challenging to navigate a particularly difficult time or event, family therapy can be a valuable and supportive resource to process, find closure, and foster a healthier, more harmonious family dynamic.
Any and all parts of the family system are welcome - whether you’re seeking family therapy as mother-daughter, siblings, chosen family, parents and children, blended families, divorced parents and children, etc.
