Child therapy focuses on young children, teens, and adolescents who have experienced trauma, who are experiencing a dysfunctional or stressful home environment, and/or who have one or more mental illnesses.

Many of the issues these children face mimic the issues adults face in their day-to-day lives. Some of these common issues include anxiety, depression, and grief.

My goal in child therapy is to break down problems into manageable parts, so children and young people can better understand and cope with them.

Problems in your family can affect all areas of family members’ lives. You and your loved ones might notice trouble cropping up at work, at school, or in everyday interactions with other people.

When it feels like the issues in your family are too big for you to handle — and aren’t getting better — it may be time to see a family therapist. I can help you find new ways to manage struggles, conflicts, and challenges.

Some of the things that I can help with are:

• Conflicts between family members
• A family member’s mental illness
• Separation or divorce
• Infidelity
• Disagreements about money
• Difficulties between siblings
• Children’s behavior problems

Psychotherapy is a general term for treating mental health problems by talking with a psychologist or other mental health provider.

During psychotherapy, I will help you learn about your condition and your moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Psychotherapy helps you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.

There are many types of psychotherapy, each with its own approach. The type of psychotherapy that’s right for you depends on your personal situation and the challenges you’re facing.

I can help you move forward in your life by leveraging psychotherapy in a way that’s right for you.

Relationship (couples) therapy is where you and your partner are able to explore the bigger picture of your relationship and individual interactions. You are given a safe space to explore the patterns of both your individual and couple behavior, as well as find ways to be more conscious of your actions and decisions.

This is a type of talk therapy that lets both parties in a relationship talk about their problems and feelings in a safe and private environment. By talking through our problems, we better understand ourselves and, with guidance, are often able to make changes that improve our daily lives and relationships.

I will listen with empathy and expertise regarding your relationship and individualized challenges, and can help you deal with any negative thoughts and feelings and/or provide objective guidance towards your personal and relationship growth.
