'What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.'

​​​​​​Whether you are seeking individual guidance or help for a loved one, addressing the symptoms right away can prevent long term suffering. Awareness of a problem is the first step toward resolution!

Anxiety
Divorce
Substance abuse and dependence
LGBTQ/Transgender issues

​

Adolescents

The teen years can be challenging but also an amazing time of growth and individuation. I enjoy helping teens realize their potential, learn healthy communication and assertive skills, time management and ways to navigate relationships with family and friends. 
If your child is struggling with any of these behaviors, please seek help for them:
​
​
Sadness or Anxiety
Difficulty making friends
Peer pressure
Risky behaviors (drugs, alcohol, sex, running away)
Disrespect toward others
Disobeying rules
Anger or Depression

Couples​ ​

Are you feeling discouraged, have lost trust or are arguing often?
  
Couples therapy is an opportunity to readjust your relationship to better meet each of your needs.  In couples therapy we will focus on identifying your negative, destructive patterns of relating and move towards developing healthier ways of connecting.

​Most relationships go through ups and downs over time. Many normal changes, transitions and tragedy
 can cause disruption, resentment, anger, loneliness, sadness and uncertainty. This does not have to mean dissolution of the relationship. Rather, it can be a time to grow closer and reconnect with your partner with some guidance and tools.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy includes exploring and identifying the problems and finding solutions that work for you. No two people are alike so your session goals and therapy techniques will be tailored specifically for you.  I will help you identify the underlying issues that cause you to repeat the same patterns over and over. Part of being happy, is being able to feel complete, whole, and enough as an individual. If you have relationships that continue to fail, I will help you figure out what kind of relationship you want to have and how to maintain it. Outside of relationship issues may be self esteem, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, addiction, eating disorders, and many others symptoms that block you from your true potential.
