Adolescents
I help to create a space where adolescents can talk openly about their thoughts, feelings, concerns, and confusions. I understand that a sense of comfort doesn’t always happen by just sitting and talking. I draw on “whatever works” to help adolescents feel comfortable enough to work through what’s on their minds. This might include drawing, writing, shooting hoops, taking a walk, playing a game, or a number of other activities.
Family Therapy
I work with parents and families to explore, identify, and disrupt unhelpful patterns to meet goals we agree upon. Focusing on the family's strengths, one of my objectives is to help family members change their relationships with one another, from relationships that inhibit growth to relationships that promote growth.
Couples
I work with couples to get unstuck from unhelpful communication and behavior patterns. I help people to connect and feel more secure and confident in their relationship.
