Counseling with Children (age 6 & up)
Parents frequently share that their children look forward to counseling sessions at my practice. My approach is cognitive-behavioral as well as creative. I use play and art activities to engage and to help children process difficult emotional issues. The most important aspect of my approach is that I focus on making the process of change interesting and fun. The goal is to improve your child's self-expression, mood disturbance, and positive choices.
Counseling with Adolescents
Adolescents repeatedly tell me they are comfortable in my office and feel free to express themselves without feeling judged. I offer a casual approach that is focused on collaboration. Mutual respect and understanding forge the way to a productive counseling relationship where the teen is motivated to make healthy choices, resolve conflicts, and establish goals for the future. Building on strengths is a key component to my approach.
Family Counseling and Parent Education
Parenting and family therapy sessions are aimed at improving positive communication and creating an awareness of how stress-based methods of communication contribute to parent-child relational difficulties. Using my positive parenting approach to decrease power struggles and to create a team effort, parents feel empowered to parent with a more positive and strengths-based approach. Parents are amazed at how much compliance increases when natural consequences and positive communication become the foundation of their parenting approach.
Counseling with Adults
Adults of all ages report feeling at ease with my casual style. I am a careful listener who works to forge a collaborative partnership with my adult clients. This partnership can be a powerful tool. Because life is more stressful than ever, a key component of adult therapy is to teach ways to de-stress, which often begins with identifying areas where life is out of synch and, of course, working to alleviate the mood disturbance triggered by these stressors. Increasing life satisfaction is the ultimate goal.
