In individual therapy, I typically use more of a holistic approach. During the first session we will discuss your priorities and set your goals. In couples therapy, I use Emotional Focused Couples Therapy which is about building stronger connections, fostering emotional health, understanding yourself and each other better, all of which are key to a happier and more fulfilling life.
