Individual Therapy for Adults & Adolescents

Individual therapy offers opportunities to explore alternative ways to experience emotions and thought processes to reinforce effective coping skills. How we experience our emotions and thoughts will directly influence our behaviors and how we connect in relationships. The confidential therapeutic setting allows for clients to experience an objective perspective to assist in improving their well-being.

Individual Play Therapy for Children including Parental Consultation

Play therapy is a wonderful tool to help children explore their emotions and experiences through their natural language of play and imagination. Play therapists utilize specific toys, art and games as creative interventions to help children develop effective skills to manage challenging emotions and better communicate with their caregivers. Skills learned in session are reviewed with parents to help support their child’s learning at home. I apply my training in evidenced based practices in a playful and engaging way. I have completed extensive coursework and training to become a Registered Play Therapist through the Association of Play Therapy.  Visit www.a4pt.org to learn more.

Parent/Caregiver Collateral Sessions

Collateral sessions are offered to parents/caregivers to provide encouragement for the effective ways they are connecting and fostering growth in their child. Sessions also work to explore potential adjustments in communication and structure/boundaries in the home environment to best support the child and family system.

Family Therapy

Family therapy can be offered in conjunction with individual therapy. Family sessions work to address communication patterns and dynamics to foster healthy connections in a family system.

Parent Coaching and Self-Care for Parents:

Healthy Parents Raise Healthy Children

Parenting is one of the hardest and most important roles most of us will ever take on with no formal training process. The challenges of caring for your child and simultaneously navigating your own emotions is quite the task some days! The fact you are even reading this heading on my webpage lets me know you are a thoughtful and caring parent who is doing a great job loving your children. It is normal to hit seasons of parenting that you may feel lost or overwhelmed in.

Parent coaching is a private pay service that is a great opportunity to learn more about your strengths as a parent as well as areas you would like to improve on to try to help make your days as a parent a little easier. When parents take care of themselves and have support the benefits positively impact the whole family.
