Individual Counseling
My practice includes teens, young adults and adults. Work with me one on one in a comfortable setting, where we build a trusting therapeutic relationship that allows you to reach your goals and potential, whatever they may be. Individual therapy can be short term (few sessions) or long term (many sessions spread out through time). This will be determined in the initial meeting or dependent on success of goals established by you and me.
Adolescents and Young Adults
I have worked with teens and young adults for the past 17 years dealing with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Major Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, abuse (physical, sexual, neglect), body image issues, adjustment and bereavement issues. I help my clients build a positive self esteem and create a strong self identity through a strong therapeutic relationship that builds trust, eventual confrontation, and teaching them coping skills to take through the rest of their adult lives. I work with a cognitive behavioral approach which means working on negative thought patterns and teaching how to change those to have positive outcome with behaviors. In addition, I teach my clients how to handle stress, anxiety and depression more healthy through mindfulness, relaxation techniques, guided imagery and regulating emotions.
LifeForce Yoga® Guided Meditations and/or Yoga postures for Anxiety and Depression
Everyone deals with stress. Depression and anxiety can be major results of stress. I have helped teens and adults learn more about how they can handle stress in their lives more positively and pursue a healthier way of living both physically and mentally. Teaching what triggers individuals, being aware of self in a holistic approach has made clients more adaptable to stress and confident to reach their goals in life.
