Feeling stuck? Struggling with anxiety? Dealing with low confidence? Is your child struggling with school, friendships or behaviors? Having trouble figuring out "what’s next"?

Individual counseling sessions are a great way to discuss concerns and problems your child may be experiencing. These sessions are 1:1 and offer insight, a place to process and learn new skills to cope with stressors. These sessions will be client-focused and driven by the uniquie needs and goals of each client.

During individual counseling sessions I will tailor my technique to meet your needs. I typically use person-centered, reality therapy, cognitive behavior, and solution focused theories. I believe that people are motivated by choices and needs. With school aged children I often integrate play and art theory techniques in my practice. With teens and young adults we will have more of a talking dialogue.

Family system feeling out of balance? Are you struggling to parent and deal with life’s stressors? Do things at home feel like a constant battle? Looking for a place to vent, brainstorm new ideas, and get a fresh perspective?

Parenting is one of the most challenging experiences in a person’s life. Parenting sessions are a valuable opportunity to explore family patterns, understand how your own upbringing influences your parenting style, and learn new strategies to foster stronger connections and reduce conflicts with your children.

Family counseling sessions provide an excellent opportunity for every member of the family to express themselves and align on common goals. If your family is facing behavioral challenges at home, these sessions can help identify the underlying issues and establish new strategies for managing stressors effectively.

When working with families, I draw from the "Responsive Parenting" framework and the Conscious Discipline model, emphasizing respect, healthy boundaries, and shared empathy. I prioritize connection over correction, focusing on fostering understanding, promoting positive and warm interactions, and minimizing power struggles.
