Are you feeling constantly exhausted, stressed and like your mind just doesn't stop? Is your tween/teenager struggling with anxiety and the many obstacles of being a teen?
Often, the clients I work with feel stressed, alone, or stuck in their lives. It’s common to feel unsure about what will happen when you talk to a therapist and I understand this and welcome any sense of hesitancy right into the room.
My specialty areas are working with women and tweens/teens.
Women have unique mental health needs and I can provide support and address those needs in areas such as empowerment, assertiveness, growth and change, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, conflict, relationship issues, motherhood stress, infertility, miscarriage and overcoming trauma.
Teens today face many challenges that are unique to their generation. With my experience in community mental health and as a school social worker I have developed a deep understanding of all the difficulties teens face on a day to day basis and can help them build on their strengths and overcome their problems.
I work from a strengths-based perspective and provide a mindful, person-centered approach tailored to your needs to help you achieve your goals.
Services for Women
Women have unique roles in life, and whether you are dealing with a life transition, pregnancy issues or are a mom who is feeling the pressures of motherhood, trying to manage it all on your own can be overwhelming. I can provide a safe space to help you process the anxiety, stress and difficulties of many of these struggles.
Services for Children and Teens
The tween/teen years are a time of growth and change in every person's life. I will provide a space for your teenager to express their feelings and hopes for the future. Some of the issues we can address are: adjusting to stages of development, issues with social media, teen depression and anxiety, self-esteem, taking responsibility and goal setting
Parent Support
Parenting is tough. That voice inside your head can pull you in many directions and you are not sure how to help your child. Therapy can be a space to discuss the challenges of parenting and also develop new strategies to help you and your child communicate better and feel better.
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling can help confront obstacles that have begun to interfere with our overall well-being. I provide in mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy and strengths based approaches to persons of any age. Areas of focus include: supporting individuals with life transitions, anxiety, stress, anger and sadness.
Family Therapy
Families are forever changing and are complex. There are many different family dynamics, each of which has its unique challenges. A family therapy session should be a place of safety and growth. Each member will be offered a place to speak openly without biased and judgement.
