ADOLESCENT THERAPY
The teen years can be a tumultuous time of life. Therapy can teach adolescents helpful coping skills so they effectively manage their emotions rather than internalize their feelings or behave in a destructive manner. The opportunity to confide in a safe and trusted adult during adolescence allows teens to make more responsible decisions and receive guidance and support.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of psychotherapy that allows people to heal from the emotional distress that results from experiencing traumatic life events. Repeated studies demonstrate that EMDR provides rapid relief of PTSD and trauma related symptoms.
FAMILY THERAPY
Family therapy works to improve interactions between family members, increase understanding, and enhance connectedness with the people you love most. It is effective for families experiencing a difficult period of time or coping with the emotional or behavioral issues of a family member.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Individual therapy can provide support during challenging times and be a forum for the exploration of problematic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through therapy, individuals gain increased insight and awareness into their behavior and obtain specific strategies to more effectively manage their symptoms, alleviate stress, and improve their quality of life.
INFERTILITY COUNSELING
Experiencing infertility can be one of the most difficult challenges an individual or couple will ever face. Infertility counseling can provide support, guidance as you make difficult medical decisions, and teach helpful stress reduction techniques. It is a positive step in taking care of yourself during an inherently stressful time.
We all experience difficult times in our lives, and there are instances when additional support can be helpful. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, infertility, a traumatic life event or experiencing a problem in your career, relationship or family life, therapy can help you conquer your difficulties and more effectively manage life’s challenges.
As a licensed therapist, I work with adolescents, adults, and families to provide guidance, support, and objectivity. I strive to combine an experienced clinical approach with a warm and caring environment. My specialties include the treatment of adolescents experiencing a variety of behavioral and psychological difficulties as well as adults struggling with anxiety, depression and stress. I also focus my practice on supporting those who are coping with the emotional struggle of infertility and with individuals who have experienced traumatic life events.
In terms of my philosophy and practice, I believe that each individual has unique needs, and therefore my approach is tailored specifically to the person in front of me. I have training in several empirically validated therapies such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and work with both those seeking short-term therapy to resolve a specific issue to those interested in doing deeper, longer-term work.
Choosing a therapist for yourself, your adolescent or your family can be an overwhelming experience. I encourage those considering therapy to find not only a good therapist, but a therapist that is a good fit.
