MY SPECIALTIES
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
With teens and adults, counseling focuses on learning from past patterns and building skills to create more productive ones. With children, it is more productive to coach parents on strategies to support challenging children, and include neurofeedback for the child.
COUPLES THERAPY
For couples that want to address issues in their relationship, we identify unproductive patterns and find strategies to intervene. Once healthier patterns are in place, counseling supports new skills as they become habits.
PARENTING DIFFICULTIES
Parenting children with emotional challenges is difficult. Parents need to be heard and supported to find the right interventions for their children.
FAMILY THERAPY
DEPRESSION
Depression can occur after a loss, or when the nervous system is overwhelmed. Addressing depression starts with assessing the cause of the depression and finding strategies to address it specific to each person.
ANXIETY
Anxiety comes from many sources. It is often a combination of stressful events, anxious thinking and a physical predisposition towards anxiety. I address anxiety through skill building, anxious thought interruption, and neurofeedback.
STRESS & TRAUMA
Stress and traumatic events can launch the nervous system into fight, flight or freeze. Even after talking through the event, nightmares, watchfulness, insomnia, anxiety and depression can remain. Accelerated Resolution Therapy and neurofeedback are both useful tools to reset the nervous system.
Families can get into patterns of interaction that escalate conflict. It is important not to point fingers, but to identify the family "dance" that doesn't work. The goal is to change the dance steps to create a new pattern where communication is more respectful. Better communication leads to improved problem solving for everyone.
