Services Offered

Individual therapy Every individual carries unique emotional scars, personal fears, and strengths and weaknesses. I utilize a variety of approaches to assist each individual client in the relief of symptoms, changes in behavior, improved social and daily functioning, and personality growth.

Relationship therapy Couples counseling can help improve insight, communication, and relationship quality, particularly when couples attend together. I explore a wide rage of communication building and language altering techniques with couples to help guide them through rough transitions and towards restructuring their relationship

My approach to therapy
During therapy I create a safe environment within which individuals, couples, adolescents, children, and families can explore their issues and challenges. I do this using faith based, strength based, brief solution focused therapy embedded in a narrative view. My training in Family systems includes an integrated sensitive and respectful style. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral therapy: I assist people in seeing their lives in healthier ways as they overcome challenges. My preferred method of doing therapy is to go on a ‘journey’ with my clients to learn about their problematic "stuck points" and to assist them in moving forward. On this journey, empowerment and growth are two key factors that we strive to achieve.

Any current issue can be resolved with therapy because everything is fluid: your body, your environment, your relationships, yourself. I have created a list of issues that are more "typical" of the problems that I address with my clients. If your issue is not on this list, it doesn't necessarily mean that therapy wouldn't work. Please call me to discuss your individual issue to determine if working with me could work for you.
