Couples and Marriage Counseling
Our focus is on enhancing communication and intimacy, developing healthy avenues for conflict resolution, restoring connection and recovering the origins of intimacy and sexuality that brought you together.
Anxiety and Stress Relief Therapy
Anxiety is one the most common reasons individuals seek therapy. Anxiety is often rooted in fear and worry about the future. You may be overwhemed by these thoughts, experience difficulty with concentration or suffer from panic attacks. You may find yourself obsessing over details or feel stressed much of the time. We help you learn skills with CBT treatment and mindfulness to regain inner peace.
Premarital Counseling
Pre-marital counseling can be very helpful in planning for the next stages of your life together. Ensure your values and goals are allied. Discuss finances, children, religious preferences, intimacy, communication, love languages and your new extended family prior to one of the biggest days of your life!
Individual Therapy
For individuals struggling with anxiety, OCD or panic we provide mindfulness based CBT treatment so that you can achieve success, competence and peace in your personal life. Our life coaching allows you to get unstuck whether in your personal life or career, helping you find a life with greater congruence and happiness.
