Services Include:
Individual Therapy for Children/Adolescents/Teens/Siblings
I provide individual counseling to children between the ages of 2 and 17. When working with a minor client, parent participation is expected and required. Some minor children may not desire to have their parent(s) participate in all aspects of treatment. This is developmentally “normal” and, in most cases, appropriate. However, parents will still be asked to provide behavioral progress updates between sessions, participate in select activities to support the achievement of the minor client’s goals, and will be provided tools that can help support collectively desired outcomes. Treatment progress and interventions utilized by the therapist can and will be shared with parents both at their request and when determined necessary and/or beneficial by the therapist.
Limits of confidentiality apply and will be upheld for all clients, regardless of age.

Parenting Support and Behavior Management
Children don’t come with handbooks, right? Sometimes it can be hard to know just what strategy to utilize in response to “big behaviors” children may exhibit. I utilize evidence-based treatment modalities to help you better identify and understand what needs your child may be attempting to meet when they struggle to obtain them appropriately. I will also help you assess whether your responses to specific behaviors are facilitating the outcomes you wish to see and can provide you with alternatives to support the achievement of your parenting goals. I can also assist parents with “getting on the same page” in response to the maladaptive behavior patterns their children may display.

Family Therapy and Couples Counseling
Whether it is the family you are born into, married into, coupled with, or choose to be a part of-I am able to utilize both couples and family therapy interventions in my therapeutic work! I have happily served and have seen success working with parents and their children, unmarried/co-parenting relationships, couples without children, adoptive families, siblings, and have assisted separated/divorced couples navigate coparenting dynamics as well as adjust to newly blended family systems.
60 mins - 90 minutes
Individual Therapy for Adults
I offer individual therapy services to adults that may be experiencing general stress, anxiety, depression, low motivation, decreased self-esteem, interpersonal conflicts, difficulty managing anger, OCD, trauma, parenting stress, significant life transitions, etc.
I strive to help adults recognize thought and behavioral patterns that may no longer be serving them well and provide alternatives that can promote outcomes they wish to see.

Advocacy and Support
I am able to provide basic assessments pertaining to emotional and behavioral concerns.
If a more comprehensive evaluation is recommended or warranted for any given reason, I will provide referrals with additional providers that can best serve you!
I am also able to assist in the 504/IEP plan initiation process as well as attend such meetings to support adaptive functioning in the academic setting.
