MY SPECIALTIES
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
One on one counseling can be intimidating or scary for some people. My goal is to provide you with a safe and comfortable environment to ease those emotions.
DEPRESSION
So often we believe that emotions are the rulers of our actions. Depression can be managed in therapy by changing the way we think, therefore changing the way we feel. Confronting negative can, and does, bring about less depression.
COUPLES THERAPY
Typically when a couple comes into therapy-they are in crisis. My goal is to provide a safe place for each voice to be heard and understood. Sometimes the greatest tool for a couple is a third person who is not emotionally involved.
TRAUMA & PTSD
Some people believe trauma has to be huge or unforgettable. Trauma is an event that changes how we cope with getting our needs met, oftentimes resulting in pain. Together we examine strategies that have been used up until now and rework those strategies to live in a more positive way.
PARENTING DIFFICULTIES
There is no manual written for parenting but, there is support. Parenting is hard-at its best. When parents struggle, so do the kids. Working together with parents on strategies and coping skills oftentimes brings stability back into the family unit.
STRESS & ANXIETY
Day to day life causes stress and anxiety for everyone. Together we examine your stressors and coping skills. We find ways to manage stress and to focus on the things you do have control over; giving you a new lease on life and new tools in your toolbox.
