Individual counseling is an ongoing conversation between counselor and client. In time, we form a relationship that fosters a space of trust, acceptance, healing, and growth.

I counsel tweens (11-12), adolescents (12-18), and adults (all ages). I will see children ages 4-8 on a case-by-case basis.

Some reasons for a client to seek individual counseling are:

• Relationship issues (partner, family, friend, work)
• Grief (due to all types of loss)
• Stresses at work or school
• Adjustment to life’s many changes
• Anxiety, Depression, Anger

Couple counseling focuses on identifying and resolving conflicts as well as increasing open and honest communication. It can be a difficult process for the two people involved, and one of my roles is to maintain a space where you both feel heard. The length of treatment varies based on the couple and the issues presented.

Some reasons a couple might seek counseling are:

• Arguing more often than discussing
• Feeing disconnected
• Adjustment to changes
• Blended family issues
• Infidelity
• Illness

Family counseling can help families with many issues. It may involve learning effective communication and listening skills, identifying and respecting boundaries, and conflict resolution.

Some reasons for family counseling:

• Blending families together
• Adjustment to changes in family system/circumstances
• Communication problems
• Grief and Loss
