All are welcome!
Therapy can be a rewarding and transformative experience that can help you heal, reclaim control of your life, and have better and more fulfilling relationships with yourself, other adults, or your children. If you ready to face the things that are holding you back then you will be giving yourself the best gift of all!
It is true that therapy is a gift that you give yourself! It is a commitment you make to yourself to explore your inner world, learn new skills, deepen your relationship with yourself and others to help you get the most out of your life. To get the most out of therapy, you will want to be ready to commit your time and energy toward understanding the issues that are going on, digging deep, and making changes. This can be scary and painful at times. It will take time. Remember, that you are not alone in the process - I will be right there with you. We will move at a pace that is right for you by taking our cues from you regarding what feels right/wrong, and we will get there together.
I specialize in Adult Issues, including two of the three most common things couples fight about - sex and kids/ parenting. In addition, I have years of experience treating depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, and more. Click the links below to learn more about how I can help you.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your therapeutic goals.
Individual Therapy for Adults
Are you feeling stuck in life or unsure of the next step? Are you facing conflict or unhappiness within a relationship? Do you experience feelings of depression, loneliness, or anxiety? Are you struggling to cope with a past or recent trauma, or a painful personal history? I can help you! My goal is to help you unpack, understand, and change what is troubling you so you can feel happier, more content, and at peace with yourself and your life. Looking forward to getting started on your therapeutic journey with you!
Sex Therapy
Sex and Sexuality are a part of life and can be COMPLICATED. I want to help you understand, accept, share, overcome, or change your sex life whether it's with yourself or others so that it is more satisfying and fulfilling. I love helping people fall in-love with themselves, others, and feeling more content, complete, and at peace.
Parenting
Parenting is challenging. Period. It can be even more complex when we don't have the skills to manage tough situations or if we are haunted by our own childhoods or pasts. I can help you! I work with parents in a few main areas:
1) learning concrete skills to manage a variety of situations (see below)
2) improve the relationship between them and their child/ children
3) exploring themselves, their internal world, and unpack their past experiences to understand and make changes to the present and future
4) any combination of the above
I teach parents skills to address behavioral issues such as:
- Defiance
- Aggression
- Homework refusal
- Power struggles
- Nagging
- Serious behavioral concerns (such as running away, stealing, fire-setting, etc.)
EMDR / Trauma
Following traumatic events, people can feel like they are re-living the event, trapped or locked in the past. EMDR is a powerful approach to helping individuals process and heal from traumatic and upsetting events. It can be a fast and effective tool to help individuals struggling with a variety of mental health symptoms, such as:
- Trauma / PTSD
- Anxiety
- Phobias
- and more....
EMDR will be available to on-going patients starting winter 2022 - 2023.
