Our Approach

At Hand in Hand Couples & Family Therapy, we recognize that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Each person’s experiences, relationships, and emotional needs are unique, which is why we take a personalized, integrative approach to treatment. By blending evidence-based and depth-oriented modalities, we help clients heal, grow, and create lasting change.

Our Therapeutic Approaches:

✅ Schema Therapy (ST) – Identify and transform deep-seated beliefs formed in early life to break free from unhealthy patterns.
✅ Ego States Therapy / Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Understand and harmonize different parts of the self to foster healing and inner balance.
✅ Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) – Process and transform emotions to build deeper, more meaningful relationships.
✅ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – Reprocess traumatic memories to reduce emotional distress and promote adaptive healing.
✅ Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Develop skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness.
✅ Brainspotting – A focused treatment method that identifies and processes traumatic memories and emotional distress held in the body.
✅ Hypnosis – Utilize focused attention and suggestion to facilitate relaxation, access inner resources, and promote therapeutic change.
✅ Gestalt Therapy – Focus on present moment awareness, personal responsibility, and the integration of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

By integrating these powerful therapeutic methods, I provide a comprehensive and adaptable approach to support individuals, couples, and families on their healing journey.

Whether you're an individual seeking healing from trauma, a couple aiming to deepen your connection, or a family navigating complex dynamics, I am here to help you overcome challenges and build more fulfilling lives.

Tailored Treatment

Every client begins with a thorough assessment and case conceptualization, allowing us to identify key patterns, underlying challenges, and treatment goals. From there, we create a clear, structured treatment plan—a roadmap for your healing journey—so you know what to expect every step of the way.
