Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? When it comes to treating anxiety, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy treats more than just symptoms of the problem. Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax and look at situations in a new way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.

Maybe you're struggling with feelings of depression. Depression can be a very dark and scary experience to navigate. If you are suffering from symptoms of depression, it is important that you know you are not alone. Therapy is a great option for dealing with symptoms of depression because it can help you get to the root of your problems. My hope is that talk therapy will make you feel supported and allow you to find ways to cope through this time.

Or it might a number of other personal or mood concerns, like work issues, poor self-esteem, grief, stress, or a recent life transition. Regardless of what's effecting you, we can work together to help you develop the tools you need to make some changes and improve your quality of life. 

Are you and your partner stuck in the same argument loop again and again? Do you feel like you're more like roommates than romantic partners? Do you desire more intimacy and emotional connection? Everything can be improved with just a little support, no matter how big or small. Couples therapy isn't just for those who are married, even though it is a great tool to improve a marriage. It's for any two individuals in a romantic relationship, regardless of relationship title. With couples therapy, you’ll learn how to communicate your feelings and needs to get what you want out of your relationship.

Some common issues that bring couples to therapy are:

Addiction/Partner Addiction Support

Balance (Work/Life/Family)

Blended Families

Chronic Illness

Divorce

Extended Family

Infidelity/Cheating

Intimacy

Mental Illness

Pre-Marital/Readiness

Pornography

Sex

In couples therapy sessions, you'll learn to develop the necessary skills needed to improve honest communication and manage conflict more successfully. I believe relationship therapy is the best way to help reconnect and rekindle your love for your partner.

Our family affects who we are and who we become. They are the most intense and longest relationships in our lives. We learn our language, our habits, our customs and rituals, and how to view and observe the world around us from them. Anyone seeking healthier, closer family relationships can benefit from family therapy.

Common reasons for seeking family therapy include:

Divorce or separation

Parent-child conflict

Problems between siblings

Navigating major life milestones

Domestic violence

The unexpected or traumatic loss of a family member

Family therapy can help you develop and maintain boundaries, gain a sense of cohesion and communication among family members, improve problem-solving by better understanding family patterns and dynamics, and reduce conflict. When the whole family grows, each member is better off. As a marriage and family therapist, I firmly believe that the most long-lasting change happens when the entire family works on healing together.  

After completing Phase 1 & Phase 2 of Brainspotting, I'm trained in a variety of methods that have expanded my therapeutic tools to help clients heal from pain and trauma. Brainspotting revolves around the phrase, "where you look affects how you feel." Through the use of relevant eye positions, I can help you locate, focus, process and release a wide range of emotionally and bodily-based conditions. It is a brain-based tool that harnesses the body’s natural self-healing ability. Brainspotting can also be used to find and strengthen our natural resources and resilience.
