Services and Rates
At the Center for Relational & Child Therapy, I believe that healthy relationships are at the core of emotional well-being. My therapy services are designed to support couples, families, and children in achieving connection and balance. Whether you’re a couple caught in negative communication patterns or a family facing a difficult medical diagnosis, I’m here to support you.
Families
Families come in all shapes and sizes, and so do the dynamics that shape them. My family therapy services focus on enhancing communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening bonds to foster a more connected and supportive family unit. I support families through difficult transitions such as communication issues, grief, challenging medical diagnoses, divorce, and estrangement, using tailored approaches that honor each member’s unique role. Together, we wil build a harmonious family environment where everyone feels heard and supported, regardless of their age or relationship dynamics.
For families with children and adolescents, I blend experiential techniques such as Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), the Satir model, and Play Therapy grounded in child development. These methods encourage natural, engaging communication, making it easier for young family members to express themselves to their parents or older family members.
Kids & Teens
I offer specialized therapeutic support for children and adolescents, providing a safe space for them to express their emotions, build resilience, and overcome challenges such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, trauma, and life transitions like divorce, loss of a loved one, and changes in school. My approach is experiential and tailored to meet the unique needs of each age group.
For children under 12, I use activities like play and art therapy to help them explore their feelings, develop coping skills, and build self-esteem. Through play, children can often communicate emotions they may struggle to articulate verbally, allowing them to identify and express their feelings in a safe, supportive environment.
For adolescents, I recognize the unique challenges that arise during this pivotal stage of development, including anxiety, self-esteem issues, and social pressures. I integrate various therapeutic techniques, including art and hands-on activities, to create an engaging environment where teens can explore their feelings and express themselves more freely.
Couples
For couples looking to deepen their connection or work through difficulties, my therapy services focus on building trust, improving communication, and resolving underlying conflicts. Whether you’re navigating a specific issue or seeking to strengthen your relationship, I provide the tools and guidance to help you rediscover intimacy and partnership. My approach is hands-on; rather than just discussing issues, we actively work on connecting and communicating differently in the moment.
I help you understand the emotions driving your conflicts and break the negative cycles that keep you feeling disconnected. We’ll explore what happens during moments of conflict, focusing on each partner’s feelings and perspectives. This exploration allows for a deeper understanding of one another and challenges your perceptions of the situation. The goal is to disrupt unhelpful patterns and choose more positive responses that lean into your partner, ultimately building a stronger bond by addressing the deeper needs and fears behind your communication styles.
