Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Facing those tough feelings is never fun, but necessary to heal from the past and perceived future events. Through counseling and treatment, I will help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
Obsessions are thoughts, images or impulses that occur over and over again and feel outside of the person’s control. In most cases, people with OCD realize that these thoughts don’t make any sense. Obsessions are typically accompanied by intense and uncomfortable feelings such as fear, disgust, doubt, or a feeling that things have to be done in a way that is “just right.” In the context of OCD, obsessions are time consuming and get in the way of important activities the person values. I use ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention), the "Gold Standard" for OCD treatment.
Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions are held with individuals, couples and families and are a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen your relationships.
Adolescence can be a rough time for families. At times, teenagers may be a source of frustration and exasperation. But these years also bring numerous moments of joy, pride, laughter and connection. I can help parents, guardians, and teens find hope during these years.
