Services

Individual Psychotherapy
I offer individual counseling for those seeking to  improve  their relationships, reduce anxiety, overcome depression, resolve grief, and deepen their self-awareness.  Utilizing mind/body techniques, I encourage my clients to develop self-compassion, to accept responsibility for their choices, and to frame their experiences within a meaningful narrative.

Couples Counseling
I offer counseling for married, unmarried, opposite and same sex couples who want to improve their communication, resolve conflicts, and create  more satisfying relationships. Therapy may include addressing issues of:

  • Sexuality and intimacy
  • Skillful communication
  • Conflict without blame
  • Co-parenting
  • Pre-marital counseling
  • Separation or divorce counseling

Teen and Young Adult Support
Counseling can be very effective for adolescents and young adults who are coming to terms with their growing independence and coping with issues of  sexuality and relationships, self-esteem, depression, identity, and drug and alcohol abuse.

Family Counseling
I work with families who are challenged by poor communication, distant or over-involved relationships, destructive patterns, and lack of understanding between parents, children, and siblings.  In therapy, family members identify shared goals and constructive ways to achieve more satisfying outcomes.

Group Therapy
Group therapy is a great way to connect with others who share a similar experience as well as to gain support and insight. It is a more cost-effective option for those seeking therapy. Periodically, I offer the following groups:  Suicide Bereavement, Overcoming Depression, Acceptance and Aging, and Anger Management.

In September 2010, I will be offering Accepting the Unacceptable:  A 6-week Group on Recovering from the Loss of a Loved One by Suicide. 

Consultation and Education
I offer workshops and presentations on the topics of suicide prevention, successful aging, dementia care, and memory loss. Services include:

  • Program development
  • Classroom and workplace presentations
  • Counselor skills training
