Individual Therapy for Adults & Adolescents

Individual therapy offers opportunities to explore alternative ways to experience emotions and thought processes to reinforce effective coping skills. How we experience our emotions and thoughts will directly influence our behaviors and how we connect in relationships. The confidential therapeutic setting allows for clients to experience an objective perspective to assist in improving their well-being.


Parent/Caregiver Collateral Sessions

Collateral sessions are offered to parents/caregivers to provide encouragement for the effective ways they are connecting and fostering growth in their child who is in individual therapy. Sessions also work to explore potential adjustments in communication and structure/boundaries in the home environment to best support the child and family system.

Parent Coaching and Self-Care for Parents:

Healthy Parents Raise Healthy Children

Parenting is one of the hardest and most important roles most of us will ever take on with no formal training process. The challenges of caring for your child and simultaneously navigating your own emotions is quite the task some days! The fact you are even reading this heading on my webpage lets me know you are a thoughtful and caring parent who is doing a great job loving your children.

Parental coaching is a short-term consultation-based service offering a space to ask all the questions you are googling online from an expert who can tailor information specifically to your family situation. It is the perfect service for families who are unsure their child needs formal therapy but have reached a season of parenting with their child or teen that feels overwhelming. As a former child therapist, I can offer you playful tools to help teach your child coping skills in real time in your home. I can also support you in navigating the challenges of raising teens with cellphones and social media.
