Services Offered
Individual Therapy
Every individual seeks therapy under different circumstances and for different purposes. Whether you're looking to treat anxiety, depression, personal challenges, professional challenges, relationships struggles, or anything else, it is important that you feel safe in your therapeutic environment. This means that you feel comfortable enough to share with your therapist ideas or concerns you've been withholding from others. The importance of feeling safe enough to share this information in therapy is so that you along with your therapist can develop a better understanding of yourself through the exploration of past and childhood experiences, possible trauma, and emotional wounds. Every individual interacts with the world differently, and together I hope to help you identify the most efficient and effective way for you to cope, thrive, and interact with your outside world through the use of personalized therapeutic techniques.
Couples Therapy
Similar to individual therapy, each couples reason for coming to therapy is different. Whether it is to better your communication with your partner, work through divorce, pre marital counseling, marital counseling, or just to strengthen your relationship further, the personal challenges of each couple will be the focus of treatment. In addition to the purpose of treatment, communication skills and emotional connectedness of each couple will be discussed. In order to achieve lasting positive changes in each relationships, it is important to understand the life experiences and emotional wounds fears and trauma that each individual is bringing into their current relationship and how it may be contributing to the problem at hand.
Family Therapy
Family therapy can be a great way to safely address an issue between the entire family or just between a specific unit within the family. Challenges families often face include co-parenting, gender roles, generational differences, sibling rivalry, or parenting difficulties. Each member of the family may interpret the presenting problem very differently which is why it is important that the therapist work with each member of the family to make sure they feel heard and understood. This will better help the family, as well as the therapist, better understand how the behavior of each individual is contributing to the problem at hand as well as learning new ways about how they can contribute to the solution. It is important to me that each individual feels they have gained something from our sessions as well as that their needs as a unit is being addressed and met.
