Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all.
Explore the approaches I offer below and find the path that fits you.
Therapy that moves beyond talking.
I believe therapy should be more than talking about your problems, it should help you change your life.
If you don't want to spend years sitting in therapy simply talking about why you feel the way you feel, you're in the right place.
I want you to leave therapy with greater self-awareness, practical skills, healthier patterns, stronger relationships, and a clearer sense of who you are and what matters to you. We will explore your past when it matters, work with what is happening in your life now, and focus on what needs to change for you to move forward.
Individual Therapy
You don't just want to talk about your life. You want to change it.
Individual therapy is a space to understand yourself without judgment while also learning how to respond differently.
Our work may include exploring past experiences, identifying patterns that no longer serve you, strengthening boundaries, improving communication, managing difficult emotions, and learning how to make decisions that are consistent with your values.
Therapy may draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships—and develop practical skills you can actually use outside of therapy.
This is not about becoming a different person. It's about becoming more fully yourself.
Couple’s Therapy
You can love each other and still struggle to connect.
Relationships don't become difficult because people don't care.
Sometimes couples become overwhelmed by work, parenting, family expectations, cultural differences, financial stress, unresolved hurt, or simply years of not knowing how to communicate what they actually need.
Couples therapy provides a space to slow those patterns down and understand what is happening underneath the conflict.
We'll work on communication, emotional connection, boundaries, conflict patterns, trust, and the ability to express needs without blame or defensiveness.
For couples navigating family and cultural expectations, therapy can also create space to explore an important question:
How do we honor our roots while building a relationship that works for us?
The goal isn't to decide who is right.
It's to help you understand each other, communicate differently, and build a relationship that reflects the life you both want.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Sometimes talking about what happened isn't enough.
You can know intellectually that something wasn't your fault and still feel it in your body.
You can have moved forward with your life while certain memories, relationships, situations, or emotions continue to affect how you respond today.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured trauma therapy that can help the brain process distressing experiences so they feel less emotionally overwhelming and less present in your everyday life.
EMDR at Sage & Cedar follows eight structured phases. We begin by understanding your history, identifying what you want to work on, and making sure you have the stabilization and coping skills necessary to feel grounded. Memory processing comes later, when you are ready.
You do not have to walk into therapy and immediately revisit your most painful experiences.
We go at a pace that makes sense for you.
