Offerings
Children
Does your little have big emotions? We ask a lot from our kids. Through modeling patience, coping skills and age-appropriate lessons in mindfulness, I can help your kiddo deal with anxiety, stress, and fear. I offer a space space for them to untangle what is really bothering them and how they may shift their perspective to understand better, and also get better at making their needs understood. It is HARD to teach emotional intelligence at home, especially when we are often in survival mode as parents. Therapy gives your kiddo an opportunity to slow down and deal with the problems that are big to them.
Teens
Ugh. Being a teenager is a LOT. Especially with parents breathing down your throat, too much schoolwork, and not enough time. It can seem impossible to get it all done and to please everyone. This is time for you. Not your parents, teachers, or even your friends/relationship. I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate space for you to vent and catch your breath. To increase your emotional intelligence and learn coping skills that will set you up for success in your personal and interpersonal life. To help calm the social anxiety and overwhelm that comes with living in this fast-paced society. I’ve got you. Therapy is confidential and time for you to finally focus on you.
Adults
Come as you are. Therapy can be intimidating. It is importnat for me as a person-centered therapist to meet you as you are. Using a collaborative approach we will clarify what is important to you, what you need/are missing and how to get that for you. We will uncover what is really bothering you and discover tools/coping skills that offer the clarity, confidence and connection you are seeking. I am practiced in the evidence-based techniques CBT + DBT. We will integrate these solution-focused practices with mindfulness and insight to help you get out of your head and into the life that you are more than capable of living; the life you deserve.
Couples & Families
At the end of the day, you are a team. You want what is best for each other; for the team. But it’s hard when you aren’t on the same page. Or you are, but can’t communicate like you are. In couples and family therapy, I hold a safe space where every party can be heard. Where everyone has a chance to respectfully communicate their needs, and feelings. Where we can calmly come up with long-term solutions such as effective communication, forgiveness, and “fighting fair”.
