Couples Therapy
Common reasons for seeking out couples therapy include communication issues, parenting conflicts, and infidelity. It may not seem like it now, but your relationship has the potential to improve and be wonderful again.
Individual Therapy
Working with a therapist individually allows you to take time to process your emotions and find solutions to your problems. It can help you feel less alone and give you the support you need to help you find balance in your life.
Family Therapy
Family therapy is a natural choice when parenting is the primary issue. At one point or another, many parents find themselves battling their kids or teens over behavioral expectations.
Online Services
Seeking out therapy or other services online is a great way for people to get the help they need in a convenient and discreet format. Busy schedules, avoiding stigma, health concerns, or few mental health resources in your area are all reasons to consider online services.
Speaking Engagements
Teaching and empowering people with information is a passion of mine. I enjoy presenting psycho-educational information at professional, school, community, church and other events.
Anxiety
Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Cognitive-Behavioral techniques are research-based and proven to be effective in treating anxiety in children, teens, and adults.
Boundary Setting and Relationship Issues
The healthiest relationships have boundaries that are established and well-maintained. If you feel resentful or taken advantage of in your relationship, you may benefit from developing better boundary-setting skills.
Suicidality and Self-Harm
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or are self-harming, it’s important to get help. You may feel hopeless, but there are many resources to help you or your loved one feel better, and therapy is a great place to start.
Grief and Loss
Experiencing grief and loss is a normal part of the life cycle—but that doesn’t mean it is easy or fun. Grieving the loss of a loved one such as a spouse, parent, child, or close friend can be a long and slow road to finding a new normal.
Perfectionism
Sometimes perfectionism is hailed as a virtue, but most of the time, people who feel like they must be perfect always fall short of the impossible standard they have set for themselves. This can lead to feelings of worthlessness and shame.
Sports and Performance Psychology
If you are looking to reduce your stress, improve your performance, and strengthen your relationships surrounding athletic involvement, therapy may help.
Women's Issues
Women face many unique challenges including the journey to/through motherhood, work/life balance, body image, aspirational shame, domestic violence, sexual assault, and more.
Disabilities
Many nurturing parents will do anything to help their children with disabilities, leaving their own energy tanks running nearly empty most of the time. Learning how to take care of yourself and remember your own identity can be instrumental in regaining a sense of balance.
Faith Transitions
It can be helpful to work with a therapist during the process of sifting through beliefs, deciding which ones to keep, defining and reprioritizing values, and sorting out the implications of this new position in which you find yourself.
LGBTQ+ Issues
LGBTQ+ people experience mental health issues and suicidality at higher rates than the general population. The stress of coming out to family and friends can be challenging. Common problems like coping with bullying, body image perfectionism, and/or substance abuse can be improved with help.
Crisis Counseling
The first hours, days, and weeks after a traumatic event are distinct from the long recovery process that happens later. Individuals are often in shock right after something terrible happens and may not be up to normal problem-solving capacity. Flashback and upsetting recollections can be debilitating. People may need help to ensure short-term physical and emotional safety.
Multiculturalism and Diversity
It is a fair reaction for you to wonder what a white woman like me is doing presenting myself as a good resource on multiculturalism and diversity. While many people prefer therapists of the same sex, race, religion, and background as themselves, the fact is that it is not always possible to match up all these demographics, especially when you live in a rural area.
