Individual Therapy
Life events, such as a change in career, raising children, death of a friend or family member, divorce or relationship breakdown, conflict with work colleagues, legal issues, health issues or financial issues can leave us feeling overwhelmed and at a loss how to cope. Such events can also trigger mental health symptoms such as depression, anxiety and panic attacks. Individual counseling can help you tackle these symptoms in an effort to feel less overwhelmed, more in control of your emotions and daily functioning, which will enable you to reach your full potential.
​
When you are ready to make a change in your life, individual counseling can help improve the quality of your life through self-awareness, empowerment, and balance. Whether you have struggled with on-going depression or anxiety throughout your life, addiction, childhood trauma and neglect, a previous or recent traumatic event, insights into your thought processes, behavioral and emotional responses will empower you towards change, acceptance, and self-healing.
Couples Therapy
Relationships go through many changes during their life cycle, and how we manage those changes as a couple directly impacts the quality of that relationship. As we grow individually, we also grow as a couple, and sometimes this can be in different directions, which does not mean that a couple cannot be successful, despite their differences. The foundation of any relationship is built on communication, trust, and respect for one another. Often communication can deteriorate over time, and when this happens the foundation of the relationship begins to erode, followed by the slow demise of trust and respect.
​
Everyday stressors, such as balancing work and spending quality time with your partner, to buying a house, having a child, moving house, one partner returning to school, financial stress, loss of job, parenting struggles, sleep deprivation, unequal division of labor in the home, poor nutrition and exercise, serious health conditions, and infidelity, can cause the slow breakdown of any relationship.
​
When two people are committed to taking an honest look at the breakdown in their relationship through Couples Therapy, each partner can be heard in a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental environment. Couples Therapy will encourage ownership and responsibility from both partners for the breakdown in the relationship, and facilitate working towards repair through reflection. When partners are committed to Couples Therapy work the potential for success and longevity within the relationship improves dramatically.
Emerging Adulthood
As a young adult, moving away from adolescence and into adulthood can be overwhelming, scary, stressful, and trigger past mental health struggles or open the door to new symptoms such as social anxiety, generalized anxiety, low level depression, imposter syndrome, increased alcohol and or substance use, health issues, insomnia, and a fear of failure.
​
Planning for our future after highschool can feel daunting. Moving away from home and the support system we have known for 18 year can be stressful. Getting through, and completing, college can feel impossible at times, while preparing for a career, navigating personal relationships, and managing finances. Feeling supported at this stage of "adulting" and gaining skills through therapy can empower emerging adults to forge ahead with confidence and reach their full potential.
