Specialties
While I am qualified to treat any modality, I specialize in couples, families, and parents. I also work with adult individuals.
Couples
To have a successful and happy relationship, it takes work. Therapy can help couples to improve communication, resolve conflicts and feel more connected.
I assist couples with any of the following issues:
- Premarital Counseling
- Communication Issues
- Divorce/Separation
- Relationship Conflict
- Life Transitions
- ADHD
- Anger Management
Families
Often enough, emotional issues impact more than the individual. Sometimes change needs to occur on a larger level. When this is the case, it is important to work with the family as a whole. Family therapy can help all types of families enhance communication, create healthy boundaries and improve family structure.
I help families struggling with issues related to:
- Family Conflict
- Divorce/Separation
- Life Transitions
- Grief & Loss
- Communication Issues
- Trauma
- Negative Patterns
Parents
As a mother myself, I know that being a parent can be tough! Whether you are soon-to-be parents, new parents, or parents to a teen - each stage can offer its own unique difficulties. This exciting stage of life is very fulfilling and rewarding, but it can also be challenging. Parenthood can cause stress on a couple's relationship, in fact, researchers have indicated that the child-rearing phase of a relationship is when couples report the lowest levels of relationship satisfaction. It can be difficult to find a good work/life balance that works for you and your family. You may find yourself sacrificing your individual identity to be the Super Parent.
I work with moms, dads, grandparents, and caregivers to address any of the following:
- Birth & Adoption
- New Parents
- Developing & maintaining rules, discipline, family time, and boundaries for the family
- Nuturing the couple's relationship within the context of a busy family life
- Grief & Loss
- School Issues
- Emotional support for single parents
- Achieving a healthy work/life balance
- Letting go of the role of "Super Parent"
