Areas of Expertise
Individual, Family, and Couples Counseling
In the first few sessions we will open discussion by getting to know each other and exploring what life stressors brought you into therapy at this time. This will be conducted by biopsychosocial assessment, where you will be asked in detailed questions for best understanding your history, the present circumstances, and get to the root cause of what is causing your suffering. The therapy process will proceed at the pace you are comfortable with. Typically, counseling sessions are 45-50 minutes long.
Along with any ongoing daily struggles that arise out of our relationships, we are licensed and experienced in working with persons struggling with anger, low self-esteem, trauma, blended family issues, divorce and remarriage, and children/teens, who are struggling with various developmental, emotional, and behavioral problems. We also work with persons, whom may be having LGBT challenges, loss, anger management, communication struggles, as well as, affective disorders (depression, anxiety, bipolar, etc.).
Adult Counseling
Disappointment and pain happen. With these life discrepancies, it has been taught that this is something we learn to avoid at an early age.
