My Approach to Helping
If you or someone you love is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and tired of feeling sad, angry, or anxious or even afraid of making the tough steps toward health or change, schedule a free consultation to find out more about how I can help.
People who have regularly come to see me over the last 15 years have found that I'm invested in helping people through those tough places and struggles we all find ourselves in. I believe deeply in first exploring how people want/need to be supported and tailoring therapeutic experiences that truly fit.
I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and families who need support through transitions, grief/loss, stressful relationships, destructive patterns of behavior, stress of attending school, and a variety of mental and emotional health issues.
Individual, group, and family therapy focuses on the whole person (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual), while nurturing a warm atmosphere with direct, honest, and confidential communication.
Adolescents and young adults are often supported in meeting the challenges of high school/college life, significant relationships, low self-esteem, stress, depression, and anxiety. We find new ways of working through old issues that keep us stuck and struggling to find understanding, meaning, and peace in our day-to-day lives.
Parents are supported in working with parenting issues, confronting oppositional and defiant behaviors, and responding to disruptive or even dangerous conduct.
Together we focus on building strengths and making contact with internal resources and the community of resources around us.
