Therapies
Support for you, your partner and your family
Couples Therapy
Break communication gridlock and rebuild safety, trust and connection. Intensive 2-hour sessions are available on request.
Family Therapy
Systemic work with the whole family, including remarried and blended families, with attendees chosen case by case.
Coaching for Parents
Guidance for parenting and stepparenting, including the Parent Hope Project.
Approach
Interactive, strength-based and solution-oriented
Dr. Olivia works from genuine curiosity, aiming for a collaborative, compassionate practice. Her brief therapy training means work is often shorter than traditional psychotherapy.
You set the pace
The client decides when therapy is complete. An open-door policy means you can pause and return later.
Patterns, not blame
You will reprocess emotional experiences and restructure relationship patterns, with attention to safety, trust and connection.
Confidential and respectful
Confidentiality, respect and emotional safety are core principles, with standard legal exceptions for abuse, neglect or risk of harm.

Wondering why plants?
Families, like plants, thrive in an ecosystem
Plants, like humans, are living beings and live in an ecosystem. They need other elements to survive, such as light, soil, nutrients, water and sun, and they thrive when in equilibrium.
Humans and families are not much different. Families are interdependent and operate as an emotional unit.
Rates and privacy
Clear pricing, no insurance paperwork in your record
Dr. Olivia does not participate with any insurance providers. Many insurers cover licensed marriage and family therapy out of network, so you can check your own out-of-network benefits. Private pay also keeps more of your care private, which can matter in situations like divorce or custody disputes.
