Adult Individual Therapy:
Often times in life, we can feel overwhelmed, depressed, or stuck. You might notice that old patterns are holding you back. We all have parts of ourselves that we fear are unacceptable, and growing up we may have felt ashamed for expressing our vulnerabilities, needs and true feelings. Over time we may have buried or lost connection to those parts of ourselves and maybe even developed a harsh critic who judges them. On top of that, we are faced with a variety of losses, relationship challenges, and perhaps even physical illnesses that are aggravated by the stresses we are under. Together, we will connect to your inner strengths, develop creative ways to grow in the face of these challenges, and create new ways to lead your life more fully.
Child and Teen Individual Therapy:
Children and teens have a lot more going on than they can easily express with words. Children naturally express themselves through art and play, and I use both of these in sessions to support them in better identifying, understanding, and expressing their feelings. Art can promote social, emotional, and cognitive growth, and help children to increase their self esteem and navigate challenges that they may face such as divorce, grief, bullying and other social difficulties, as well as identity exploration during adolescence.
