COUNSELING/THERAPY SERVICES

People seem to cling to the very behavior that incapacitates them and makes them suffer. And people do things that do not seem to make sense.  I believe that behavioral, emotional,  or psychological symptoms indicate our efforts to maximize or minimize events in our lives. 

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My approach is client centered, which involves focusing on the needs and involvement of each individual in order to facilitate learning, change, and growth.  I also use a systemic perspective to evaluate the role of the individual in their various systems (family, workplace, relationships, etc.) and the effects of those systems on the individual.

Issues I work with include:

  • Relationship issues
  • Children 4 years of age and older (play therapy)
  • Loss and grief
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Emotional wellbeing
  • Stress and anger management
  • Children in foster care
  • Premarital and couples counseling (using FOCCUS, RELATE, and/or
  • PREPARE/ENRICH assessments)
  • Life and personal adjustment
  • Self-examination and personal growth
  • Traumatized children
  • Behavioral disorders of children and adolescents
  • Family therapy

What color is a chameleon on a mirror?

The process of therapy is a mirroring process between the therapist and the individual(s), resulting in continued reflection and change. Individuals must find their own unique ways to express their pain, difficulty, or “stuckness”, and to work through their disempowerment or disillusionment.  Therapy is unique for each and every individual, couple, or family.  

COST:  My fees begin at $102 per clinical “hour” (50 minutes). The first appointment must be paid for in advance. The frequency of appointments is based upon your needs and financial concerns, however I recommend weekly or biweekly appointments for the first four sessions in order to build the foundation of the therapeutic relationship.

OFFICE FORMS:

BCBS Insurance Verification Form (for clients using this insurance only)
