Your comfort level is my priority. Whether a telephone session, zoom or my conference room with a mask, I am flexible to your needs. My main priority during this time is letting my clients know we are in this together as they create a plan for the future. Explore services offered below:
♡ Individual Therapy
Within individual therapy, we work one-on-one in a safe, caring, and confidential environment to explore feelings and beliefs. I will guide and structure sessions to deepen understanding, identify obstacles to goals, and work collaboratively with you to create goals. You will use a variety of tools to understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviors in order to help you create the life you would like to lead.
♡ Couples therapy
Relationships are hard work and at times we need to discuss the direction that our relationship is going, working through issues causing problems, learning each other’s wants and needs and making changes to strengthen it. SFBT (Solution Focused Brief Therapy) is a therapy used for individuals as well as couples. When using this process as a therapist, we focus on various ways to help you communicate more effectively. Also using strength based positive psychology, compassion, and understanding, we can work through the problems and get to a solution.
♡ child & adolescent services
I am committed to providing high quality psychological care for your child who may be faced with a variety of challenges in his/her life. Understanding where your child is in their development and how to successfully help him/her thrive using their strengths and my knowledge and compassion is my mission. Using an individualized approach, we can work collaboratively to solely focus on your child’s needs. By tailoring to their individual issues, together we are able to create a treatment plan that is specific to each child. Individual therapy is one step in the therapeutic process. Parents are encouraged to be an active member in the process by supporting their child as they venture through their own journey.
♡ Family therapy
It is important for families to know that they are not alone. I am here to help families navigate through difficult times. Sometimes working together as a team as well as having separate appointments may be beneficial for overall growth; helping each family member realize that they have a place of importance in the success of the family. By creating goals and working together, we can create changes.
♡ Grief & Loss
It is with the utmost respect and compassion that I am determined to help with any issues related to diagnosis, illness or hospice care. I am confident that my knowledge and personal experience in this area may benefit you during one of the most difficult times in your life. Working collaboratively with clients and their families is necessary to create comfort and support. There are many decisions that come up from diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy hospice and death. Whether caring for aging parents or the illness of a sibling or friend, being informed of situations can help reduce one’s stress.
♡ Veterinary Professionals
I understand the pace of your workday, stressors in your profession, and the deflation you may sometimes feel. You hold yourself to high standards and there are patients you are so proud to have helped. There are also clients you may not want to forget or others you wish you could. I’m dedicated to providing quality, confidential care to help foster your personal and professional success.
