INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Individual therapy is a joint effort between you and your therapist, where you will work as a team to identify and help achieve your goals. Individual therapy offers you an unbiased and emphatic support for your personal challenges. Therapy can assist you in improving your coping skills, self esteem, positive self regard, and communication with others. Counseling can offer you support for ADHD, anger, depression, life transitions, care-giving, peer issues, relationships, parenting, education, career skills and more. 

My treatment approach includes the use of Cognitive Behavior (CBT), EMDR (trauma), Gottman Therapy for Couples and Families, Solution Focused (SFBT), Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Motivational Interviewing. 
 Together, we can bring out your best self in a safe and trusted setting.

A $25 no show - no call fee is applied for all missed appointments.

GROUP THERAPY
Group therapy is used to bring together individuals that share  common difficulties. Participating in a group offers support, perspective, and diversity. Paring group therapy with your individual therapy can assist you in making valuable changes in a more efficient manner. Groups work best when members are open and honest. Groups offered are closed to those who are directly affected by the issue presented as the group topic.

EMDR THERAPY 
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is used in session to alleviate current and past trauma, stress, anxiety, and negative memories of life experiences. With the use of EMDR therapy, a client can find resolution in past and current negative issues that hold them back in life, work, socially, and/or emotionally. Triggers are desensitized, new positive association links are formed, and coping skills are developed for future positive functioning in the client's daily life.
