Personal Comments:
ADULTS INDIVIDUAL THERAPY: I have years experience helping clients to effectively alleviate depressive and anxious moods, and learn to cope with grief, loss, and difficult and painful life situations. I work daily with clients on the following issues:
ANXIETY / Self Esteem / FEAR (needing skills to calm, soothe, take charge and empower); DEPRESSION (finding it more & more difficult enjoying life); ANGER management (just under the surface, explosive if not managed); TRUST (not trusting others, not trusting self); RELATIONSHIPS (needing to improve them, learn boundaries / self-care); NEGATIVE THOUGHTS (stuck in past or recent painful experience, Self-limiting, Self-destructive behaviors); MOTIVATION / CONCENTRATION (struggling to stay focused and motivated); CONFIDENCE / SELF-ESTEEM (overwhelming self-doubt causing mistakes, faltering, more doubt).
CHILDREN TEENS ADULTS
CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, FAMILIES: I love working with kids and parents. I offer a place for parents to turn when they need help and have questions. I am able to connect with kids—tots to teens, using humor and a flexible approach. Kids quickly feel safe and comfortable, enjoying their time in therapy, and parents feel encouraged. I engage children using play, art, and sports therapy techniques. Therapy strategies with adolescents often address issues of self-esteem, social and peer pressure, identity and self-worth, and emotional regulation and expression. In the therapy process, where healing occurs, families learn healthy and appropriate coping and communication skills and conflict resolution. I am passionate about teaching parenting skills so parents become more effective and more connected with their children.

General Comments:
CHILDREN TEENS ADULTS FAMILIES COUNSELING
I am an experienced therapist working with children, teenagers, adults, and families. I can help you: alleviate emotional pain, manage stress, elevate moods, reduce anxious and depressed symptoms, create healthy relationships, and learn healthy life skills to create a happy healthy life.
I believe empathy and compassion create the foundation for change between a client and an experienced therapist. I focus on empowerment, client's strengths, and personal growth. I offer a caring and safe environment as a foundation to my private practice. I believe healing comes from gaining understanding of others and ourselves and achieving balance: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Each client's treatment is unique. I integrate techniques that are specific to each client’s needs (cognitive behavioral, art therapy, play therapy, EMDR etc).
CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, FAMILIES: I love working with kids and parents. I offer a place for parents to turn when they need help and have questions. I am able to connect with kids—tots to teens, using humor and a flexible approach. Kids quickly feel safe and comfortable, enjoying their time in therapy, and parents feel encouraged. I engage children using play, art, and sports therapy techniques. Therapy strategies with adolescents often address issues of self-esteem, social and peer pressure, identity and self-worth, and emotional regulation and expression. In the therapy process, where healing occurs, families learn healthy and appropriate coping and communication skills and conflict resolution. I am passionate about teaching parenting skills so parents become more effective and more connected with their children.
ADULTS INDIVIDUAL THERAPY: I have years experience helping clients to effectively alleviate depressive and anxious moods, and learn to cope with grief, loss, relationships, and difficult and painful life situations. I work daily with clients on the following issues:
ANXIETY / PANIC / FEAR (needing skills to calm, soothe, take charge and empower); DEPRESSION (finding it more & more difficult enjoying life); ANGER (just under the surface, explosive if not managed); TRUST (not trusting others, not trusting self); RELATIONSHIPS (needing to improve them, learn boundaries / self-care); NEGATIVE THOUGHTS (stuck in past or recent painful experience, Self-limiting, Self-destructive behaviors); MOTIVATION / CONCENTRATION (struggling to stay focused and motivated); CONFIDENCE / SELF-ESTEEM (overwhelming self-doubt causing mistakes, faltering, more doubt).
We all have pain that is unique to ourselves. It is how we cope with our pain that becomes integrated into who we are as unique individuals. I believe we must look at our past: family history, relationships, thoughts, and unconscious messages in order to understand our "programming" and therefore create the desired change.
We will work together to create positive growth and the change you desire in your life.
