Areas of Focus

Individual Therapy

Whether you are coming to therapy or counseling for help with specific challenges or wanting to deepen into your personal growth process, I will strive to meet you where you are and create an open, trusting, and collaborative relationship from which to embark on our work together.

An integral part of therapy is learning to grow towards healthy relationships, which begins with the relationship with ourselves. Moving from a secure sense of self provides a vast resource for navigating life’s many difficulties and healing from past wounding. I will work with you to build awareness of your present moment experience while cultivating empathy, acceptance and understanding for whatever arises. We will work on coping techniques to support you as you are explore your sense of self.

Children and Adolescents

•   Is your child overwhelmed and struggling at school?

• Does your child have a difficult time addressing emotions?

• Is your child struggling with depression, anxiety, or self-esteem?

• Are you having a hard time communicating with your child?

• Do you want to have a better understanding of what your child is going through?

I can support your child build social skills, improve communication skills, self-esteem and the development of emotional communication as well as supporting with emotional regulation.  My goal is to support your child with coping skills as well as with identifying their emotions.  I provide a safe and accepting environment where your child can gain a sense of self, emotional strength, learn about good relationships, and clear communication.

Adolescents often struggle to become more independent and want to feel in control of their own lives. This process can be difficult if there are unresolved challenges such as difficulties expressing or identifying emotions, social challenges, anger, and frustration, and impulsivity. These challenges can affect adolescent growth and development. Through therapy sessions, I can support your adolescent build coping skills needed for this time in their life.
