I offer professional and confidential counseling services for children, teens, and adults in individual, couples, and family therapy. I can help you improve relationships, reduce conflict, alleviate depression and anxiety, manage stress, heal emotional pain and distress, and promote personal growth. Some of the areas of emphasis in my practice include but are not limited to: infertility, pregnancy, trauma, postpartum adjustment, anxiety, stress management, depression, parenting, and special needs. I use an eclectic counseling approach that is generally brief and solution focused to nurture change and development within families. Call me to see if I can help you with your problem. If I can't, I will refer you to someone else.
I am educated and trained in multiple methods of counseling couples. I will do a customized couples assessment that identifies your strength and growth areas as a couple. Based on your assessment results, I will provide counseling sessions in which I help you discuss and understand your results as you are taught proven relationship skills. This approach helps couples: * Explore strength and growth areas * Strengthen communication skills * Identify and manage major stressors * Resolve conflict using the Ten Step Model * Develop a more balanced relationship * Explore family of origin issues * Discuss financial planning and budgeting * Establish personal, couple and family goals * Understand and appreciate personality differences
Parenting is full of joys and challenges. I have experience counseling families with infants, children, and teens. Each stage of development brings new joys and challenges! I have two children myself and understand the joys and challenges of parenting. Counseling can help manage and find solutions to those challenges.
Feeling overwhelmed? Having difficulty calming your baby? Confused about conflicting advice from books, family, and friends? Experiencing the baby blues? If you say yes to any of these, then Post Partum Counseling can help you. Post Partum Counseling is designed to promote attachment with your child and prevent or treat post partum depression for mothers of infants under one year old. As a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist who is a Certified Happiest Baby Educator, I am uniquely qualified to help new families with both the psychological and emotional issues as well as provide practical help with parenting your newborn; including teaching you how to use the 5 S's to calm your baby when they begin crying and help them sleep better. This helps to prevent and treat post partum depression, anxiety, marital distress and child abuse and promote attachment and bonding. House calls are available.
