individual therapy

I am dedicated to providing a safe space for individuals to explore the obstacles to mental wellness. Together we will work to move past these hurdles towards a happier and healthier state of being. I take pride in providing a clinical environment where you feel supported while gently challenging troublesome thought patterns. Together, we will create an essential space for kindness and change.

The first step in reaching out for help can be challenging, and I am here to simplify and support you along the way.

Some issues addressed in individual therapy include:

  • Anxiety, stress reduction, depression

  • Career stress and life transitions

  • Emotional regulation and anger management

  • Relationship issues

  • Trauma and loss

  • Self-esteem

My approach is tailored to each individual, incorporating relational, attachment-based methods, mind-body work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my work.

If you are wondering if individual therapy is right for you, give me a call. I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to assess how I can best help you.

child & adolescent therapy

Being a child or young adult in today's world can be harsh, with social media, cultural challenges, education struggles and ever-changing relationships. My approach for children and adolescents creates an environment conducive to expressing their present struggles, where medication is not always the answer. Clinical research has demonstrated that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be as - or more - effective than medication for treatment. With this skill-building approach, your child or adolescent can learn to manage anxiety and develop the resilience to deal with life's stressors long after therapy has ended.

Some benefits of Child/Adolescent Therapy include:

  • Support for changing negative behavior

  • Higher self-esteem to conquer challenges

  • Positive thought-creation through CBT skills

  • Anger Management to control overwhelming emotions

  • Improved communication skills without anger or shame

  • Strengthened coping skills to express feelings instead of bottling them up

  • Relapse prevention to avoid detrimental thought patterns

I create a safe place for children and adolescents to process their feelings, discover their identity, and learn about healthy relationships.

If you are wondering how to best support your children and adolescents through the challenges of anxiety, trauma, assault, divorce, split families, and life-altering medical conditions, I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to assess how I can best help you.

I assist families with difficulties due to conflict, trauma and other relationship challenges to improve communication and resolve conflicts. Sessions may include all family members or those able or willing to participate. Together we will collaborate on a tailored treatment plan to develop the skills necessary to navigate points of tension, deepen family connections and get through stressful times.
