My approach to therapy is collaborative and aimed to help you feel empowered to build your resilience and strength during challenging times.

Individual Therapy or Coaching

Life is about possibilities. Feeling that there are possibilities gives one hope that life will get better. Yet often, one can become stuck in a maze of negative beliefs about themselves and their abilities. For some, they feel weighed down by their fears, anxieties, and depression from previous life experiences, making it difficult to envision a life that would be “worth living.”  With support, people can develop both a better understanding of themselves, and learn new skills to overcome life conflicts and manage emotional vulnerabilities. Individual therapy can provide people with the confidence and tools needed in important life choices.

Individual therapy can be helpful in addressing concerns such as:

• Mental health conditions and diagnoses, such as depression, anxiety or OCD

• Trauma

• Stress management

• Relationship challenges

• Difficult life transitions, such as school or work transition, parenthood, grief/loss and divorce

• Developing coping and resiliency strategies and self-awareness

Child-Parent Psychotherapy and Parent Coaching

Are you stressed with parenting? Do you wonder if you are responding to your child’s feelings and behaviors in the most effective way? Is your child struggling with anxiety, depression, or behavioral problems and you want to know what to do? Do you want a better relationship with your child, to feel more satisfied in your parenting, and to give your child an environment to thrive and tools to succeed?

Parenthood is one of the most rewarding yet most challenging jobs there is. The future of your child depends on what you do now. Our parenting is colored by our past, whether that be a significant event, loss, or having a difficult relationship with our own parents. Understanding how the past affects your current parenting, releases you from making the same mistakes and repeating history.

My approach is to help you resolve pain or discontent from the past, while also addressing the ‘now’ by teaching you effective parenting strategies. Children learn best through their parents in the comfort of their home, thus I will help you to help your children through whatever symptoms they may be manifesting, whether it’s behavioral or more emotional, such as anxiety or depression. This work is done with the utmost empathy and regard for your individual story. I utilize specific evidence-based practices to assist us in identifying and understanding your strengths and areas for improvement in parenting. My specific training in Child-Parent Psychotherapy and Master’s degrees in Child Development and Social Work provide the top level of experience to working with these particular issues.

Parenting skills and child-parent psychotherapy can be helpful in addressing concerns such as:

• Parenting Stress

• Child/Adolescent behavioral or emotional issues

• Parental Depression or Anxiety

• Managing divorce, loss, moving, or other life changes
