What is Professional Counseling? 

Counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and client. Professional counselors help clients identify goals and potential solutions to problems which cause emotional turmoil; seek to improve communication and coping skills; strengthen self-esteem; and promote behavior change and optimal mental health.

Individual Counseling: Sessions are available for children (age 6 and up), adolescents and adults. Individual counseling is focused on self-discovery as well as developing strategies and skills to manage life’s challenges and transitions. I will assist you (or your child) in identifying strengths, partner with you to formulate meaningful goals and support you as you take steps to achieve them.

Couples Counseling: Sessions are available for any couple in a committed relationship where both partners are open to the counseling process. Couples counseling is focused on improving communication, strengthening intimacy, and managing and resolving conflict.

Family Counseling: Parent and/or family sessions are required for any client under the age of 12 and recommended for most adolescent clients. Family counseling is focused on understanding family dynamics, improving communication, and creating appropriate structure for the family to function.
