My Services

1

Individual Counseling

I am here to help you when you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or alone in your struggles. Whether you are looking for support, healing, a space to process a recent transition or loss, individual counseling can help you. These services can help you alleviate symptoms of anxiety or depression, find better ways to cope, build better relationships with yourself and others.

2

Relationship Counseling

Couples seek relationship therapy for various reasons; ranging from premarital counseling, broken or injured trust, difficulties with intimacy and/or sexual relations, negative patterns of relating to one another, difficulty communicating, and parenting challenges. Couples therapy is a safe place to express feelings, acknowledge the hurt, build trust, and find more positive ways of interacting and finding solutions together.

3

Child and Family Therapy

Counseling is a place where children can express themselves, learn new skills, and create more adaptive ways of thinking. When young people act out, it is often a sign of emotional pain and overwhelm. Mental and emotional struggles can affect all aspects of their lives; including eating, sleeping, socializing, communicating, and their ability to learn. Counseling can help to identify the problem and identify new solutions.
