Individual Therapy    I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy when working with my clients. CBT is an action-oriented form of therapy that emphasizes the importance of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It focuses on changing an individual’s thoughts in order to change his/her behaviors and emotional state.

Phone Therapy/Online Therapy   These treatment options are for clients who are seeking mental health advice for mild issues or life events. Many people find it to be an ideal way to discuss life's challenges, personal concerns or emotional problems. Phone/online therapy is an option for people who find it too difficult to travel to a therapist's office. Call or email to learn more about this treatment option.

Family Therapy    Family Therapy focuses on the entire family system, not just one individual. The aim of this type of therapy is to aid family members in understanding and accepting their individual responsibility in the emotional functioning of the whole family.

Play Therapy    Play therapy is the best method of treatment for children and adolescents who are having difficulties coping with life situations. Children often lack the cognitive skills to communicate with words. Through play, they are better able to express themselves and learn more adaptive behaviors.

Parenting Consultations    Parents who are having difficulties understanding and managing their children often seek help. Together, we set up behavior management systems to target maladaptive behaviors and improve family functioning. Through these consultations, parents increase their skills and feel more confident parenting their children.

School Observations/Teacher Consultations    School observations and teacher consultations are offered as a part of the initial assessment and treatment process. Often classroom teachers are receptive to setting up behavior management plans to improve targeted behaviors.
