Adult Individual Counseling

At times, do you feel alone and stressed, wondering if this is normal or if there is something 'wrong' with you? Perhaps you have tried talking with other therapists in the past but it just didn't seem to help.

If this sounds familiar, then you are in the right place. I understand many of the issues that adults face, and I believe that through counseling we can discover the causes of your emotional suffering and work on skills to help you cope more effectively.

Some of the issues I treat include:

  • Anxiety disorders (social phobias, social anxiety, OCD & PTSD)

  • Assertiveness and boundary development

  • Depression (including general sadness and major depression)

  • Eating disorders

  • Grief/bereavement counseling

  • Life transitions

  • Men's mental health

  • Post Traumatic Stress

  • Relationship help

  • Self harm/self injury

  • Sexual abuse

  • Sexual assault

  • Sexuality

  • Spirituality (including Christian Counseling)

  • Stress management

  • Suicidal thoughts and behaviors*

  • Women's mental health

* If you are currently suicidal, please contact 911 or your primary care physician.

 

adult couples counseling

Do you long for meaningful connections or to build a better relationship with someone with whom you can share your joys and struggles? Humans are hard wired to live in relationship, and the need for love and belonging is essential for our well being. However, relationships are complex and challenging, and require careful nurturing to remain healthy. This is where counseling and therapy can help build the strong and thriving partnerships that we all need.

Couples work can be short-term and focused upon a specific issue, or long-term and focused on several issues within a relationship. I utilize an emotion focused therapy approach, and treat the 'relationship' as the primary client.

Some of the issues I treat include:

  • Commitment issues

  • Premarital counseling

  • Infidelity

  • Financial conflict or stressors

  • Difficulty coping with a partner's physical or mental health illness

  • Life transitions

  • Grief

  • Trauma

  • Trust or forgiveness issues

  • Troubled communication (frequent conflict or arguments)

  • Physical and emotional abuse

 

Adolescent individual counseling

Adolescence is a challenging time, when the issues that later plague us as adults can begin to surface. Facing those problems early helps build the foundation for a healthy life, giving young adults the tools they need to maturely enter adulthood.

When working with adolescents and young adults I utilize traditional talk therapy, as well as incorporate therapeutic games, role playing or other creative therapies. Each treatment plan is tailored to the needs of the particular young person seeking treatment.

Some of the mental health problems children and adolescents seek treatment for fall into the following categories:

  • Anxiety disorders (including social and school anxiety)

  • Bi-Polar disorder

  • Bullying

  • Depression (including general sadness and major depression)

  • Dealing with divorce

  • Eating disorders

  • Personality/temperament exploration

  • Relationship help

  • Self-harm/self-injury

  • Sexual abuse or assault

  • Sexuality

  • Spirituality (including Christian Counseling)

  • Stress Management

  • Suicidal thoughts & behaviors*

  • Trauma

* If you are currently suicidal please contact 911 or your primary care physician.
