Individual Therapy
The thought of therapy can stir up anxiety for many people, however, individual therapy is meant to be a safe place to explore your inner world and get to know yourself better. Life can often feel overwhelming or bring feelings of hopelessness, but our inner resources are often more than we are able to imagine in the moment of our distress. New strength and connection can be found in parts of yourself that have been cut off or neglected for various reasons. Often we need the presence of someone, like a therapist, who has the potential to reflect back who we are being and what we might be neglecting, in order to see ourselves more clearly and engage life and relationships more fully.
Couples Counseling
Sharing life with someone you love may seem easy on the surface (or in the movies), but it is one of the most difficult challenges of our lives and most of us have had little to no training in how to do it well. Marriage can be a difficult but rewarding commitment but it often does not turn out to be as you envisioned on your wedding day. I have worked with couples through a wide variety of relational issues, including: premarital counseling, communication skills, attending to underlying emotions, parenting children with special needs, grief and loss, infidelity, domestic violence, separation, divorce, and co-parenting issues.
Therapy Groups
Group therapy increases human connection to address specific needs. It is an opportunity to know others and be known by others who are facing similar challenges. It is a powerfully effective approach for addressing many life struggles. Each group which is offered has a specific focus. Some of the needs for which group therapy is provided include: addictive behavior, anger management, self-esteem, social anxiety, social skills training, grief and loss, as well as healing from abuse.
