Personal Growth

 

Some of us have never considered entering therapy because we do not have any psychiatric disorders. I feel strongly that each one of us can benefit from examining our lives and our patterns.

Substance Abuse/Addiction

Many of us worry about entering therapy to evaluate a substance abuse problem because we fear being unfairly labeled an 'addict' or 'alcoholic'. As I believe in the harm-reduction perspective, I give you the power to evaluate your own substance use issues. I will give you the tools you need to assess if alcohol or other drug use has reached a point of concern.

Couples Counseling

None of us wants to stagnate in a relationship that no longer brings us joy. Couples counseling can help reconnect you with your partner, work through difficult periods, and remind you why you are together in the first place.

Dating & Early Relationship

So many of us have struggled to find the right match for us. And modern dating methods can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Often we leap into a relationship just to end the struggle, without being mindful of what kind of relationship actually brings us joy.

Depression/Anxiety

It can be challenging to figure out if the feelings we are having are related to our life circumstances or a greater mental health issue. We may have developed coping skills for our depression or anxiety throughout our lives that no longer serve us.
