Individual Therapy
Growing up is hard to do and today's young people face more pressure than ever. I strive to create a trusting and safe therapeutic space where one can explore deeper issues. Therapy will look differently depending on the individual and the outcomes we are trying to achieve.

Sometimes, it is helpful for us to meet without your child. We may want to brainstorm strategies and interventions to try at home, discuss co-parenting issues or problems, or discuss family dynamics that may be playing a role in the situation. Often times, it is helpful to get support in the challenging role of a parent.

I help facilitate respectful, honest, and positive communication between family members. We may also problem solve and negotiate difficulties. We may work on clarifying boundaries, expectations, and misunderstandings. A general goal of family therapy is to have more peace and happiness within the home setting.

The Therapy Process
The first meeting starts with an assessment session where the goal is to better understand your concerns. Relevant history and background information is gathered in order to assess problem areas and to determine how treatment can be helpful to you.
After the initial meeting(s), we decide what goals we want to work on and how we want to structure the treatment. It may involve individual therapy, family therapy, parent consultation, or a combination of all of the above. Treatment may be short or long term, depending upon the presenting issue.
