Throughout our lives we will faces challenges.  How we feel about ourselves and think we should act can influence how successful we are at overcoming these difficult situations and transitions.  Therapy is an opportunity to get support, gain understanding, learn coping skills and feel relief.

 In my work with adolescents and adults, I focus on areas related (but not limited) to:  

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Postpartum Concerns/issues (anxiety or depression)
  
• Family of Origin/Adult Children of Alcoholics/Dysfunctional Families
• Relationship Issues
• Divorce
• Grief and Bereavement
• Stress or Anger Management
• Transitions and Adjustment periods
• Self-Concept/Self-Esteem

Relationships can give us joy and comfort, but they can also disappoint and hurt.  How do you react to those moments of negativity?  Often times we feel defensive and either withdraw or say things we might later regret.  Problems are not solved during an argument ... but new problems tend to arise as a result of an argument and escalating conflict.  Therefore, what is important is how you interact with your partner and resolve your conflict. 

Couples counseling is a way to learn about yourself in a relationship and how to interact with your partner in a healthy and positive way.  Working together, we will focus on your relationship and enhance your Communication Tools and Conflict Resolution/ Conflict Management Skills.

Areas of focus include (but are not limited to):

• Relationship Enhancement
• Intimacy Issues
• Premarital Counseling
• Infertility
• Co-Parenting Post Divorce
