Individual Counseling
During our time together, we will meet on a one-to-one basis building a relationship where you are provided the support and encouragement needed to explore the areas in which you wish to focus. In session we will work together to set and meet those goals. I will use different techniques to help you better understand your situation and the steps you can take to lead you towards the change you desire.
Life Coaching
Life coaching is a practice that helps people identify and achieve personal and professional goals. It is rooted in the present. In other words we do not focus on the past. Instead we focus on what is happening in your life right now and set clear goals on where you want to be. Life coaching is a great avenue for personal and professional goals including: career changes, creating positive habits, gaining confidence in public speaking, organization, time management and more!
Child and Adolescent Counseling
Children exhibit a wide range of behaviors when they are unable to cope with certain situations. These behaviors can include: misbehaving, acting out, becoming quiet, performing poorly in school, acting younger, and even striving to be perfect. I will work to understand your child and help them learn how to change. I often utilize art, play and sand-tray therapies. All child counseling will at times include sessions with the caregivers with or with out the child present.
Couples Counseling
In couples counseling, I serve as a neutral mediator who focuses on each individual and facilitates listening and communication between the couple. The treatment plan for you as a couple is based upon your unique history, goals, and desires. We will work together to help you rediscover the love and friendship that brought you together and identify new dimensions which will strengthen your foundation for a strong relationship in future years.
Family Counseling
In family counseling, specific or all members of the family come together for exploration, growth, and healing in their relationships with each other. Together we can explore family expectations, concerns, and communication styles.
Group Counseling and Classes
I offer various group therapies and classes, some of which are co-facilitated by one of my colleagues. These sessions are typically educational in a support group environment. We work together as a group to gain knowledge, understanding and support.
Online / Phone / Email Counseling and Coaching
I do offer phone, email and online counseling and coaching through video conferencing (Skype & Oovoo). If this is something you are interested in I offer this service on a case by case basis at a reduced rate.
