I draw from three major approaches depending on what we together feel will support you in your goals the best:

• PACT: Here, we ask how can you be on the same team? How can you be in each other’s care? What are the policies, agreements, and values you as a couple have? Drawing from a social justice framework as well as a psychobiological lense, PACT is about learning to have each other’s back and understand each other’s care manual.

• Developmental Model: This model is highly practical and can be very skills based. We explore three key considerations to a great relationship: Do you know what do you want and feel? Can you share what you want and feel with your partner in an open and non blaming way? Can you hear your partner’s wants and feelings while staying curious and open yourself? Here, we teach the skills to do all three and practice them together under my collaborative and watchful guidance.

• AEDP/ISTDP/EFT: What is getting in the way of your goals? What is getting in the way of being close? These models get into the nitty gritty of what your negative cycles are and how to get out of them, while teaching the skills of effective communication and closeness creation.

Sex Therapy is for couples or individuals. I have specific training as a sex therapist via Martha Kauppi’s ATSIP Program. I offer detailed, specific, and targeted support for a wide range of sexual issues, from erectile dysfunction to desire difference in couples and beyond.

Intensive Short Term Psychodynamic Therapy (ISTDP) is a highly robust therapy with over 250 high quality studies showing its efficacy for a wide range of psychological disorders and issues. ISTDP gets to the core of what needs to be addressed while remaining collaborative and deeply honoring of your will. Studies show the therapy creates deep and lasting change that often continues to improve after therapy ends for years afterwards.

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is another profound psychodynamic approach like ISTDP. AEDP emphasizes compassion, attunement, and safety within a supportive therapeutic relationship.
