“I believe that all people can succeed if they are motivated and provided with the right tools, insight, and guidance”.
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
Anxiety
Depression
Self Esteem
I provide a supportive environment for people to discuss issues & find ways to reduce symptoms & feel better. I’m trained in using a variety of techniques tailored to meet the needs of each person. I help individuals become aware of and alter negative thought / behavioral patterns utilizing my knowledge in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I encourage individuals to examine their family background and its impact on their current issues. I have expertise in employing guided visualization & mindfulness techniques. Finally, as a Certified Professional Coach, I possess life coaching skills to help individuals establish attainable, healthy goals & develop a strategy to achieve them.
COUPLES COUNSELING
Communication
Parenting
Infidelity
I work extensively with couples experiencing conflict related to infidelity, parenting, finances, trust, intimacy, commitment, as well as other issues. Through intensive couples training and certification through an organization called Imago Relationship International, I provide specific techniques that help couples get results. Couples are helped to reduce fighting and discuss sensitive issues in a structured, safe, neutral & non-judgmental setting. Partners learn to share their concerns / frustrations constructively and are coached to actively listen to each other without reacting. Through this process, a greater connection, respect, sense of cooperation & willingness to problem solve emerges.
