Therapeutic Specialization

Individual therapy is an opportunity for one-on-one care to address any issues that you want to change in your life and/or heal. Individual therapy provides a confidential, private space to begin goal setting and a safe and warm environment to reach your goals. My job is to walk alongside you to help lift the weight of your burdens so that you can walk through life less overwhelmed by mental health symptoms, stress, or both.

Couples therapy also known as, marital therapy or partner therapy is an opportunity to address issues that are increasing stress in your conjoint environment. Working towards decreasing distress and building a foundation of a harmonious and loving environment that takes both individuals needs into consideration is a primary goal. The joining of two people is the start of a new family. This family is a grouping of diverse individual needs and differences that can bring increased levels of stress or dysfunction based on the differences we all carry into our relationships.

Every family system is unique and complex. Families are like quilts that are weaved by each individual in the family, a beautifully diverse tapestry. Each person's needs are important as the family dynamic is composed of many relationships. At any one time, one or all components of the family system can be in a state of stress. A caring, therapeutic setting without judgement can allow for a safe space where families can find a healthy balance.

The teenage years can be some of the hardest years we experience developmentally. Adolescents begin the journey of asserting their independence during a chaotic developmental period. This is a time where teens tend to prioritize peer relationships and can sometimes move away from familial relationships. The use of social media can alter how teens view themselves in contrast to their peers. This is a time where conflict increases and mental health symptoms that need to be addressed can arise.
