Individual Psychotherapy
I offer individual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. My experience in working with students at an institution of higher learning has broadened my understanding of mental health issues that afflict adolescents and young adults. Both adolescence and young adulthood are exciting developmental stages whereby individuals, filled with hope for a bright future, are forging their own identities and pursuing their dreams. However, they can also be very challenging developmental stages to navigate, bringing their own share of emotional trauma and pain. Some individuals need psychological support to navigate these developmental stages. That is where I come in. It is important to note that my services extend beyond adolescence and young adulthood. I also see individuals who are in middle and late adulthood, navigating married life, stressful careers and the losses and traumas that adulthood brings.
Couples and Family Therapy
Healthy intimate relationships provide us with warmth and emotional support. One of the most beautiful experiences in life is to be loved by someone who sees you, validates you, believes in your dreams and encourages your growth. Like all relationships, intimate relationships are not immune from conflict. When caught up in conflict, it is sometimes advisable to find someone who is willing to offer an unbiased perspective, helping both parties reach a resolution. Couples therapy entails this process and more. It offers a safe space whereby intimate partners can explore the dynamics of their intimate relationship in a manner that inspires growth and fosters stability. Similarly, families also experience conflict. Some family members may feel invalidated in their home environment. Some may experience others as emotionally abusive. Some families may experience trauma that threatens to destabilize the family system, such as surviving a motor vehicle accident or the death of a family member. These experiences, which can lead to instability in the home environment, need to be explored and processed in a safe therapeutic space where all parties feel that their voices are equally heard.
Group Psychotherapy
Imagine individuals with similar or not-so-different experiences coming together in a safe, non-judgmental space to share their experiences in a manner that fosters healing for all parties involved. Group psychotherapy offers this opportunity to individuals. Not only does the individual experience empathy from a therapist, but also experiences other individuals as empathic and emotionally supportive. This becomes a learning experience where the healing progress of one individual may inspire the healing progress of another. It leaves the individual with a feeling that their journeys are not unique and that they are not alone. It also gives individuals an opportunity to learn how other people experience them, thereby providing a safe space for them to work on their interpersonal skills. I have training and experience in facilitating such a space.
