Adolescent Therapy
Understanding choices and making healthy decisions
Teens and young adults need to feel safe in a manner unique to their age group. They are experiencing a tumultuous time of self-definition. Over many years of doing this work, I have found ways to connect and help them learn about themselves. They will build a stronger understanding of the world and the people around them. They will develop their own system of values and become better decision-makers. When necessary, family members can be involved in the process. This will lead to PRODUCTIVE PATTERNS, RESILIENCE, AND GREATER UNDERSTANDING FOR EVERYONE.
Child Therapy
Finding comfort and competence
Young children need to feel safe. They may find it difficult to understand or express thoughts and feelings. I take the time to gently and carefully involve them in selected therapeutic play. Creating real and imagined worlds with symbolic figures in sand will help them move beyond confusion and discover their own solutions. Puppet play and drawing will give them enjoyable and safe opportunities to express their thoughts. Carefully chosen games will help them develop skills and insights. At the center of my work with children is providing a warm and comfortable atmosphere in which they can GROW MORE AT EASE WITH THEMSELVES, AND MOVE ON TO NEW LEVELS OF COMPETENCE.

The quality of your relationship with a spouse or partner can color your personal satisfaction and self-esteem. You may have been together for a long time or you may be experiencing a new beginning.

You will build lasting levels of trust, respect and acceptance. You will find new ways to enjoy one another. You will experience greater warmth and intimacy. YOU WILL CREATE A DEEPER VISION FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND DEVELOP THE SKILLS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Using family therapy approaches to respond to difficulties at home can yield dynamic solutions and may even require less time. Family members learn to recognize each other’s value and bonds are strengthened. As your family members work together, they will develop ways to communicate that never seemed possible before. You will create solutions to specific problems. You will move beyond old patterns. No one person will carry the burden of blame. Communication will be enhanced, relationships strengthened, and LIFE AT HOME WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE.
