Our Approach:
Collaborative MFT (CMFT) takes a collaborative approach to psychotherapy and relationship healing. This therapeutic approach unites the therapist’s competence with your strengths in order to find healing pathways. In treatment with us, you will join with the therapist to recognize your strengths and identify alternate possibilities in order to improve life as a whole: biologically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually.
Healing and change occurs within relationships.
This belief underlies our work with all individuals, couples and families. Regardless of the treatment modality (individual, couple or family) healing is found through the relationships with self, therapist, family, and significant others.
With Couples
We specialize in creating a safe environment for couples to re-establish trust and connection. Couples are able to increase intimacy and improve their understanding of themselves and their partner. READ MORE….
With Individuals
Individual therapy is for those who have experienced dissatisfaction in their personal lives, who find themselves feeling unhappy, “stuck,” and are experiencing unproductive symptoms.

With Anger
The goal of our anger programs is not only to reduce your anger “symptoms” but to allow you to listen to and meet the needs underneath…those needs previously stifled by anger. READ MORE….
