Individual
Therapy/Counseling:
Individual sessions tend to be the most common form of therapy or
counseling. I think one of the most important aspects of counseling is the understanding that everyone's struggle is an individual one. Yes, many people struggle with anxiety or depression, but each persons fears and disappointments are unique to them and often the path out of those struggles is unique. When meeting an individual I endeavor to understand what led that person to this place, what are the unique aspects of this individual and how do we work together to find the path toward a new direction. I have worked with individuals in various walks of life and of various ages. Individuals have come into my office because of years of dibilitating pain and they have also come in because they are struggling with a career decision. My sincerest belief is that we can all benefit from counseling.

Couple's
Counseling:
I have been offering Couple's counseling for many years now. I have worked with couples prior to marriage, just entering their marriage and those who have been married 30 years. I believe that taking the step to enter into Couple's counseling can be one of the most courageous acts of love. There have been many times when I feel that I have been privileged to witness a miracle. I have been able to watch as two people who seem on completely opposite ends, with one foot out the door of the relationship, end up running toward each other. It's a beautiful sight and I am often amazed at the circumstances that each one needed to overcome to get there.

Adolescent and Pre-adolescent Counseling:
Prior to my training as a therapist and counselor, I was a High School teacher for 6 years. I have always enjoyed working with and interacting with that age group. I think part of what propelled me into this field was wanting to help my students more than I was able at the time. These age ranges are very tumultuous, often filled with struggle and pain, but this time in their lives can be the most fruitful. Long before habits and ways of being become solidified, they are still exploring and discovering who they are. Sometimes if we look carefully we can see the raw and pure aspects of their individuality attempting to break free, sometimes in very chaotic ways. I have found that a little intervention at these early stages can have a profound impact on an individual's life.

Parent Coaching:
I have worked with parents in a variety of settings. Today's age forces parents to face significant challenges and struggles. Often a family simply needs an objective third party to support them and help them get a different perspective. I have worked with families to help them communicate better with each other. I have assisted parents in creating better boundaries with their children. With those parents whose children struggle with addictions or other serious issues, I have worked with parents to help them understand their children's struggles and walk that fine line of empathy and strong boundaries.
