    Individuals

    Anxiety, depression, a lack of motivation, or inability to focus (ADD) are common experiences. Many people are already too overwhelmed with life to know where to start with therapy.

    Specializing in individual needs that range from negative emotions and dysfunctional patterns, to obsessiveness, loneliness, or a pervasive feeling that the world is a difficult place to find happiness, we can work together to get you on the path to a better life.

    Family & Parenting

    Families are as unique as every person in them and it’s important to understand how elements are changing over time. Patterns that create conflict and parenting issues can begin subtly, then grow to become dysfunctional without our realizing until we’re at an impasse.

    By looking at family systems and relationships, we can change conflicts into cooperation and work smarter, not harder (or louder).
