Individual Therapy
My treatment approach is client centered so that it is tailored to your style of learning and meeting your needs. I can offer you directive and compassionate guidance, in order to get to the bottom of key issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, anger and addictions. Additionally, I can help you develop skills for resolving conflicts with others and developing new ways to cope with overwhelming emotions.
Family Therapy
Many approaches to family counseling stem from family systems theory. This suggests that families work in systems, rather than groups of people who function independently of each other. According to family systems theory, changes in one family member will influence changes in other parts of the family. Therapist works with the client and families to control their thought processes and their behaviors to help shed light on the roles assigned to each member of the family unit. Once roles are established it is easier to see how each member interacts with the family dynamic.
Couples Therapy
Have you lost that loving feeling? Are you struggling to connect with your partner? Intimate relationships are a complex dynamic that can have ebbs and flows, ups and downs. Couples therapy is a type of psychotherapy that helps people in a romantic relationship build insight and resolve conflict within the relationship. Couples therapy looks at the relationship as a system rather than one individual person. The target of change is the relationship and not one person although we acknowledge that someone's behavior could be problematic. The therapist will try to understand the baseline functioning of a partnership and analyze interactions, reactions and patterns within a relationship.
Child/Adolescent Therapy
As parents we tend to care more about the lives of our children than our own. Regardless of whether they are children we’ve birthed or children we’ve promised to rebirth, their happiness is ours. We want to shelter them from pain and ensure they experience joy despite any hardships endured. Sometimes children need treatment and therefore, parents seek appropriate help. I work in conjunction with parents to help children live to their fullest potential.
Teletherapy
Not only is online therapy convenient, but it is effective. I’m experienced in providing therapy sessions via videoconferencing or phone. Online therapy is a great option if you can’t get to my office due to your busy schedule or if you prefer meeting virtually. It’s possible to mix in person therapy with online therapy. Online therapy is conducted through a HIPAA secured online video chat platform. I facilitate an online therapy session as if we were having an in-person session.
