Tesni Sunne, MA, LAMFT
Welcome! I work with couples and other pairs, such as co-parents and parent/child—the real work and joy of life happens there. I believe change has a chance to take root when we give grace to imperfection, open up our thinking, and try something new.
Couple therapy includes special areas of focus such as affair recovery and learning how to negotiate, repair, and stop having the same argument. We frequently address mismatched desires and other intimacy issues, rebalancing roles after a transition, and reconnecting with appreciation. I also help individuals through ROCD and other OCD types with a combination of individual and couple/family therapy.
I offer a guided process that is warmly honest, authentic, and responsive to change. It utilizes my specialized training in Gottman, Relational Life, and ERP/I-CBT for OCD, alongside elements of Schema Therapy and ACT.
As an LAMFT, I work under the supervision of Dave Halper, MA, LMFT, license #1644.
