CBT helps individuals identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It’s a structured, goal-oriented approach effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related challenges.
DBT blends mindfulness with skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It’s especially helpful for those navigating intense emotions or relationship difficulties.
EFT focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples and families. This approach helps partners move out of conflict cycles and build secure, connected relationships.
In play therapy, children use play as a natural form of expression. A non-directive approach allows them to explore emotions, build self-awareness, and heal in a safe, supportive environment.
This approach recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and prioritizes safety, choice, and empowerment. It helps clients heal at their own pace while building resilience and trust.

IFS explores the different "parts" within each person and how they interact. By helping clients access their core Self, this modality supports healing from inner conflict and emotional wounds.
A Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) is a licensed mental health professional trained to help individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges using a systemic, relational lens. This means we don’t just focus on symptoms in isolation—we look at how your relationships, environment, past experiences, and personal context all interact and shape your mental health.
A systemic lens considers the whole picture: how your relationships impact your well-being, how stress in one part of your life may show up in another, and how patterns—often rooted in family or social systems—can be understood and shifted over time. This approach allows for deeper, lasting change because it treats challenges in the broader context of your life, not just as isolated issues.
While the name “Marriage and Family Therapist” may sound like it’s only for couples or families, MFTs are highly trained to work with individuals of all ages, as well as with couples and family units. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, parenting stress, or identity exploration, an MFT can help you uncover insights, build resilience, and create healthier patterns across all areas of life.
