Other Areas of Practice

Anxiety & Depression

Simple things like seeing friends, family, socializing, and going to work, can feel overwhelming or impossible. Most anxiety and depression is manageable and symptoms can be improved or eliminated with accurate treatment. Most people want to feel better in the shortest amount of time possible. herapy focuses on identifying what kind of depression you have and how to manage it.     Learn More

BiPolar Disorder

In therapy, we can discuss management of your symptoms and evaluate if you are experiencing or have a Bipolar disorder. There are many ways to learn to work with and manage it.  If you choose medication, I have several psychiatrists that will work with us to treat your immediate symptoms. We can identify a combination of cognitive and behavioral methods to give you a better understanding of how to manage your symptoms.     Learn More

Codependency & Personal Boundaries

Codependent people let other people’s actions and attitudes determine how they respond and react. They live with the fear that they will be rejected or hurt someone’s feelings.  They often feel they like a victim, doormat, or martyr and that people take advantage of them. They can be overly loyal, even when the loyalty is unjustified and personally harmful.     Learn More

Grief Counseling / Grief Therapy

We often try and move through these experiences, trying to make sense of the loss, but without any guidance or framework for how to understand them. It can be particularly hard to cope if you grew up in a family that had a tragedy, but no one ever discussed it. Grief comes not only with the deaths of family and friends but also with the inevitable life changes we all endure.     Learn More

Love Addiction and Love Avoidance

Love addicts are obsessed with the fantasy they create about another person.  Love avoidance is the systematic putting up of walls in a relationship to prevent feeling emotionally overwhelmed by another person.     Learn More

Overcoming Shame & Increasing Self Esteem

We take our self-esteem everywhere we go and it affects everything we do. It is how we see ourselves. It is essential in life because it is proven to effects our health, relationships, work performance, attitude towards others, and our attitude towards life.     Learn More

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Dissociative Disorder Therapy

Dissociative Disorders are a common defense/reaction to stressful or traumatic situations. Severe isolated traumas or repeated traumas may result in a person developing a dissociative disorder.
