Individual, Couples, and Family Therapy

Individual Therapy

The focus of individual therapy ranges from mood and behavioral issues to stress management, self-esteem, relationship struggles, and "personal growth." Therapy helps heighten awareness by exploring underlying thoughts and feelings, as well as the impact of family and culture. Individual therapy also assists clients in developing new skills to deal with the challenges they face. The choices we make in life are often affected by many things outside of our awareness. Therapy can help you understand your choices and the underlying issues that create them. I can work with you to identify patterns that may be getting in the way of you having the relationships and life you want. Together we can work to change those patterns so you can move toward a more fulfilling life and healthier relationships.

Couples Counseling

Couples therapy is designed for couples of any orientation or marital status who struggle with issues that are creating conflict or disconnection between partners. Therapy typically focuses on exploring and resolving sources of discord in the relationship (i.e. poor communication, mistrust, sexual issues, trauma, addiction), developing more effective conflict resolution skills, and enhancing intimacy and connection in a neutral, objective setting. All relationships go through stages and changes. Issues such as work, family dynamics, and personal history can impact a relationship, leaving everyone involved feeling frustrated, inadequate, and hurt. I can help you create a common vision for your relationship and teach you communication tools to help each of you feel heard and valued.

I am affirming of both heterosexual and same sex couples.

Family Therapy

Family therapy is designed for clients of any age who are struggling with conflict, disconnection, or other obstacles that interfere with satisfying family relationships. Therapy focuses on promoting communication and connection by exploring family dynamics and resolving issues such as parenting struggles, developmental issues, behavioral concerns, and relational challenges (i.e. divorce, blended families). Clients develop more productive ways of communicating as well as more effective conflict resolution skills to break negative patterns of interaction.

Group Therapy

Group Therapy is designed to offer support and guidance for individuals who share common issues or needs. Groups are typically focused on a particular area such as adolescents, chemical dependency, terminal illness, or women's issues. Please contact me to find out what groups are currently being offered.

Therapy can help!

Project Aspire is based on the idea that rather than focusing only on one person and their problems, it is often better to also explore the way our relationships with the key people in our lives shape who we are, what we think, and the way we view the world.
