Defining Family Discord and Conflict

Family conflict involves active disagreement or friction between members of a household or extended family group. These tensions often stem from differences in values, communication breakdowns, or significant life transitions that strain existing relationships.

Communication in Relationships: A Depth Oriented EFT Approach

In this video, I discuss improving relationship communication through an attachment, EFT, and depth-oriented perspective. While communication skills are important, recurring conflicts often stem from deeper issues of connection, trust, and emotional security. Strengthening the emotional bond can create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Initial Consultation and Assessment

Before your first visit, your therapist will reach out to you to arrange a consultation over the phone to conduct an initial assessment. This helps establish a connection with your therapist, as well as formulate treatment goals, so your initial session and ongoing therapy are as successful as possible.

“Patrick saved my marriage. First session in, he was able to connect with my husband — someone who says maybe 10 words a day. I’ve seen therapists since I was 16, and he is hands down one of THE best.”
