Couples & Family
Therapy
Couples and family sessions are designed to help restore and strengthen your relationships. Using a restorative and preventative approach, we will work to build stronger family connections, improve communication skills, and resolve conflicts. You will receive the support and guidance necessary to create a healthier family dynamic. Sessions are confidential and supportive, allowing you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as a couple. My approach integrates evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral techniques within a Biblical worldview, affirming the inherent worth of each person and their capacity for meaningful change. My approach typically emphasizes cognitive patterns, attachment styles, nutritional health considerations, and whole-person wellness to support meaningful and lasting change.
Once I receive your appointment request, we will schedule a brief 10–15-minute phone consultation at no charge. After scheduling your first appointment, you will need to complete intake paperwork to officially get started. Most clients prefer to complete this paperwork online through the client portal, but hard copies are also available (just arrive at least ten minutes before your first appointment). Counseling sessions typically last about 53-55 minutes each.​​​​​
