My trauma-informed lens in combination with my client-centered approach allows for me to develop close relationships with clients I see individually.  It almost feels more like a friendship than and therapist-client relationship, which is ideal to me.  

Formal Diagnostic Assessments 

If you are looking to be formal diagnosed and assessed for mental health condition, I can do that to.  

I don't mean to brag, but I have been given rave reviews from the couples that I have worked with.  Couples have often complemented me on how intuitive I am saying "you just see things" and how I am able to picking up on things others have missed.  My goal when working with couples is to help them identify and become more objective to their negative vicious cycle of interaction.  Once couple's are empowered in this way, they can now work on and develop more preferred ways of being with one another and healthy and balanced identities outside of the relationship.

This is why I am a therapist.  I love working with families.  Furthermore, change is much more likely to occur in family therapy.  I thoroughly enjoy working with families, particularity when  everyone is in the room consistently.  Working with families gives me a much more complete picture than if I was working with a select few members of the family.  I am very effective when working with at least entire nuclear families and can help to produce the desired level of change quicker.   As a family therapist, it is important to me that everyone feel heard and that the needed change in either the family structure and/or the family communication style improved upon.

Group therapy services that will be offered in the near future which will include parenting group therapy, divorce group therapy, and couples group therapy.  

Intensive therapy, also known as weekend retreats, are for couples and/or families looking to make significant progress in a relatively short period of time.  Intensive therapy works particularly well for couples in dire situations (e.g., on the brink of divorce or couples who have been unhappy for years) and families who have significantly impaired family functioning (e.g. blended-family issues).  I collaborate with the couple/family in organizing a balanced, eventful and productive weekend.  Intensive therapy is flexible in order to meet your specific needs.
