My counseling style is rooted in Reality Therapy, a theoretical approach that focuses on the “here and now,” rather than dwelling on the past. It is a very proactive therapeutic model, and I empower clients to set realistic and achievable goals to meet their needs. Clients develop specific plans to change their behavior and work towards their goals.
Adolescence is a period of rapid physical, emotional, and social change, and navigating these changes can be particularly challenging for teenagers. I provide a safe, confidential space where teens can explore their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. It's a chance to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and learn valuable life skills like emotional regulation and communication.
Whether your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, academic stress, peer pressure, or other emotional challenges, therapy can empower them to face these issues and build resilience for the future.
It's not about "fixing" them, but about providing the support and guidance needed to navigate their complex world with confidence.
I offer a personalized approach to addressing a wide range of mental health concerns and life challenges. In a confidential and supportive setting, you'll have the opportunity to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, gaining insight into patterns that may be hindering your well-being. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress management, trauma, or simply seeking personal growth, individual therapy provides a space to develop tailored strategies for healing and building resilience. You'll learn effective coping skills, improve communication, and gain self-awareness to make meaningful changes in your life and foster your overall well-being.
Using a Family System Model, it is acknowledged that families operate as complex emotional units, where each member's actions and feelings affect the whole family system. Rather than seeing problems as belonging to one person, difficulties often stem from complicated family dynamics and communication patterns.
The goal is to help families understand these patterns, explore each member's role, and encourage healthier interactions to improve the well-being of the entire family.
Family systems counseling helps develop a deeper understanding of how past and present family relationships can influence current challenges.
By examining the family as a whole system, it's possible to address issues like communication breakdowns, conflict resolution, or adjustments to significant life changes, ultimately strengthening family bonds and creating a more supportive environment.
