INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
The vast majority of my clients present for individual therapy. You can expect a relaxed, client centered atmosphere where we set mutual goals and work at a pace you’re comfortable with. I am not a quiet therapist who mostly listens; I am conversational and work hard to build mutual relationships with my clients and am always open to feedback. I want to know how our relationship and sessions are feeling for you. With my individual clients, I take an eclectic approach to therapy and am flexible with the types of interventions we use during session. I frequently employ the use of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT skills), and emotion-focused therapeutic interventions through a trauma-informed lens.
FAMILY THERAPY
I provide family therapy for new and existing clients through a family systems lens. Families function as a system, and when my clients have support to explore their family relationships and understand their role in the family dynamic, they become empowered to create positive change in their families. Family therapy is an essential part of my work with adolescents and young adults, and I frequently help families to navigate issues of adolescence, the transition to high school or college, parent/child difficulties, sibling relationships, ADHD management, and communication challenges.
COUPLES THERAPY
I provide couples therapy for new and existing clients. Couples work often begins with clients I see individually who recognize that their relationship could use some additional support. I approach couples therapy from a 50/50 lens: each person is responsible for their 50% of the state of the relationship at any given time. When clients are empowered to realize what they are bringing to their 50%, I find that people are able to make sustainable changes that impact their overall relationship dynamic in a positive way. Many of my clients seeking couples therapy are looking to work on communication challenges, intimacy issues, ways to improve relationships with their children, boundary setting, and restoring trust.
