Individual therapy is time set aside just for you, where you do not have to keep it together or make anyone else comfortable. Maybe you feel anxious all the time, overthink every decision, say yes when you mean no, or feel weighed down by things that happened in the past. Maybe life looks “fine” on the outside, but inside you feel flat, restless, or stuck.

We slow things down and get curious about what is actually happening in your thoughts, your body, and your relationships. I use practical tools like EMDR to process old experiences that still feel “loaded,” and IFS / parts work to make sense of the different sides of you that argue or shut down. The focus is simple: less chaos in your head, more room to breathe, and a life that feels more like your own.

Couples therapy is for when you care about each other, but the way you are doing things is not working. Maybe you are having the same fight about phones, sex, chores, money, or in-laws. One of you shuts down, the other gets louder. Or you barely fight at all anymore and just feel distant.

In session, we look at how you two get stuck, not at who is the “bad guy.” We slow arguments down, figure out what each of you is really needing underneath the jabs or silence, and practice talking in a way that actually lands. I use approaches that help you reconnect emotionally and build real-world habits: how you repair after a fight, how you ask for what you need, how you keep closeness going in regular life. The goal is to get back to the relationship feeling like a partnership, instead of a power struggler or an uneasy keeping of the peace.

Teen therapy is built for real teenagers, not “perfect clients.” I work with teens who are anxious, angry, shut down, stressed about school, dealing with friend or family drama, or experimenting with things like vaping, weed, alcohol, or negative online experiences. Some are perfectionistic and burned out; others are “over it” and just trying to get adults off their back.

Sessions are conversational and straightforward. No fake pep talks. We talk about what is actually happening in their world, online and offline, and build ways to cope that do not lead to self-destructive behaviors or mood dysregulation. I also work with parents on limits, communication, and when to step in versus step back. The aim is for your teen to feel more grounded and less alone, and for home to feel a little less like a battlefield.

Family therapy steps back from “this one person is the problem” and looks at how the whole family is interacting. This can be helpful when there is constant tension at home, a major transition (divorce, move, loss), recovery from addiction, co-parenting stress, or when you just feel like every conversation turns into an argument.

We look at things like how decisions get made, how people talk to each other, where boundaries are fuzzy, and who ends up in the middle of conflicts. Sometimes everyone is in the room; other times we meet with smaller parts of the family if that makes more sense. Together, we work toward clearer expectations, more respectful communication, and feeling like you are on the same. The goal is not a “perfect” family, just one that feels safer, more honest, and easier to live in.
