MY SPECIALTIES
Anxiety & Depression
Symptoms can often interfere with your daily functioning including: difficulty sleeping, poor appetite/overeating, lack of energy or motivation, difficulty focusing, intrusive thoughts, isolating from friends/family, irritability, and feelings of hopelessness.
Divorce/Blended Family Issues
The end of a relationship can be devastating to individuals and families. Merging families and households is a complex process. Adapting to stepparent roles, co-parenting with ex-partners and compromising parental expectations are just some of the struggles.
Parenting Issues
Parenting is the hardest job of all, especially with teenagers. If you are worried about your teen but s/he won't talk to you, counseling can help by providing you with support and guidance with how to respond best to your child.
Sexual Assault & Incest Survivors
Survivors often struggle with flashbacks, triggers, anger and intimacy issues regardless of whether the assault occurred yesterday or 20 years ago. Counseling can help with the healing process while identifying ways to reclaim your life.
Grief & Loss
The death of a loved one or the loss of a significant relationship can trigger depression symptoms. Counseling can provide you with the support you need to process your feelings in a healthy way and teach you how to take care of yourself emotionally.
Trauma/Abuse or Neglect
Trauma often causes anxiety and depression. It can be from a single event or from an ongoing situation, past or present. Symptoms can include: physical and/or emotional triggers, avoidance, somatic symptoms, hypervigilance, and an excessive need for control.
Marital/Relationship Issues
Marriage/Committed relationships can be very challenging. Some couples seek support with improving their communication, resolving resentments, reconnecting or healing infidelities.
Women's Group
This is a therapist facilitated weekly group for women struggling with various issues and without the level of support they need from their natural supports (family & friends). Many adult women become isolated from other women and need a safe place to learn more about themselves and to make emotional connections. Eligible participants must be currently participating or have previously participated in individual counseling. Group size: 7
