When you are feeling depressed, anxious, lonely, or hopeless, it can be difficult to manage daily tasks. I help individuals, couples, and families work through challenges they have not been able to resolve on their own.
Through individual therapy or couples counseling, you can learn to cope with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship problems, work/career issues, and feelings of hopelessness or helplessness. I can help you identify your strengths which can help you manage your stress more effectively.
I understand that work, school, and family responsibilities can make it difficult to find an extra hour in your week for counseling. I have day, evening, and weekend appointments available to meet your needs.
Children & Adolescents
Growing up isn't easy. Children and teens are often faced with pressures and difficulties that they are not able to deal with alone.
You should consider counseling if your child is exhibiting any of the following symptoms:
Behavior changes
Difficulty in school
Withdrawn, few friends, avoiding others
Unable to get along with others
Extreme, frequent outbursts or tantrums
Excessively sad, crying often
Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
Low energy, loss of motivation
Loss of interest in activities
Alcohol or drug use
Extreme highs and lows
Children and adolescents are often unable to express their emotions in healthy, productive ways. I will teach your child positive coping skills and communication techniques that will help him/her deal with the struggles he/she is facing.
Adults
Are you stressed, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted? Are you having difficulty getting along with your spouse, family, friends, or co-workers? Do you find yourself sleeping more to escape life’s problems?
You have the potential to make change, and I can help. It’s possible to develop healthy relationships, improve your mood, and feel like yourself again!
I have experience working with adults in the following areas:
Anxiety
Crisis Intervention
Depression
Domestic Violence
Grief/Loss
Mood Disorders
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Parenting Issues
Relationship Issues
Self-Esteem
Stress Management
Suicidal Thoughts
Couples
Do you and your partner hold on to anger and resentment from past issues? Do most conversations turn into arguments? Does communicating with your spouse make you feel emotionally drained?
Couples often become so irritated with each other that they no longer communicate with each other in positive ways. They begin arguing about things that have little or nothing to do with the issue at hand. In many relationships, couples say hurtful things to each other when they are angry, and arguments continue to escalate. A wrong word or perceived wrong tone of voice can set the individuals off into a rage.
The goal of couples counseling is to rebuild the emotional connection that can easily get lost in the midst of careers, children, and families. I can help you and your partner learn to effectively communicate the real issues, rather than continuing in the unproductive cycle you may find yourselves in. |
