Counseling
What it is
Embark on a journey to feel better. We'll explore your motivations and reservations as well as your past and feelings. And I'll be by your side organizing the pieces, observing the patterns and helping you uncover what's kept you stuck... until now. Together, we'll find new ways for you to think about situations and learn different responses to get you better outcomes.
What it isn't: advice, girl talk, or friends with therapy benefits
Children under age 7
PCIT: Parent-Child Interactive Therapy
Directly influence better behavior from your young child while simultaneously increasing your bond with them. Receive feedback from me in-the-moment as you learn new ways to engage with, instruct, and praise or ignore certain behaviors. Get step-by-step guidance in this research-backed approach along with new skills you can use immediately, results you'll see quickly and more consistent compliance long term.
Older kids and teens
Individual therapy
Their feelings are big for them, which likely means their attitudes are big for you. And you would like them to get that ish in check. Not just for you but for them! They'll learn to navigate these years with less distress and more joy. Watch their confidence grow and overwhelming emotions shrink as they discover healthier ways to manage adolescent pressures. They'll also learn skills to confidently manage adult stress later on.
Adults
Individual therapy
Feel better and do life on your terms; it's your right. At your core is the healthiest version of you. Let's find that person together. Get relief from what's been weighing on you as you learn new ways to accept and explore your emotions. Strengthen your relationship with yourself and others using skills from our sessions. Skip the avoidance or overthinking, and start engaging with people you care about in the most authentic way.
Families
Relationship therapy*
Foster improved interaction and communication as you learn to work better in sibling pairs, parent-child pairs, or as a family unit. What each person in a family does or doesn't do impacts other members. An individual's qualities may even lead to family conflict, AND that's okay. It's how families handle conflict that matters most.
Reduce unwanted behaviors and improve your family relationships as you (re)connect with loved ones. Provide each other with a new space to hear one another's opinions and acknowledge feelings.
*Please note that couples therapy is completely different from family therapy. I do not work with couples but am happy to provide you with a referral.
Pricing
Some therapists charge per person. I think that's lame. Counseling with me is $150 per session. Period.
If you wish to use insurance, please know they require that you receive a mental health diagnosis. I can provide you with a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement upon request since I do not take insurance.
