Change is HARD. Period. Through therapy we will work together to bring about change for your life. If stress, anxiety, or depression is keeping you down we will work to strengthen your coping mechanisms so that you feel empowered to bring about change, to feel happy. Feeling stuck? One little movement can create a ripple effect in other aspects of your world such as school, work, marriage, and relationships. New and healthier habits await you. There is help. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT ) can help. We can do it together.
Children are especially vulnerable to life's stressors with a limited skill set to cope with them. Play therapy can be beneficial to help children learn more coping mechanisms in a comfortable environment where they don't feel like they are even working.
I listen and provide supportive feedback to each child, adolescent, and adult as we build the therapeutic relationship in a warm, supportive environment. I am here to help you and your family, and I truly love my work. Let's begin your personal journey today. Give us a call.
