Adults

My approach to mental health counseling with adults is largely centered on cognitive behavioral techniques with a solution focused and strength perspective of each client. My focus, in relationship with the client, is to acknowledge your past experiences and significant life history to guide and direct your behaviors, thoughts, and actions in the 'here and now.'

Some of the challenges/issues adults seek treatment for include:

• Addiction counseling (including chemical addiction, sexual addiction, gambling etc.)
• Anxiety (including phobias, social anxiety, PTSD)
• Assertiveness & boundary development
• Career counseling
• Conflict resolution
• Depression treatment (including general sadness & major depression)
• Eating disorder treatment (including anorexia, bulimia & emotional eating)
• Grief counseling
• Life transitions
• Personality/temperament exploration
• Self-harm/self-injury
• Sexual abuse/assault (including date rape & intimate partner violence)
• Sexuality (including disorders & orientation)
• Sleep disorders
• Spirituality (including Christian counseling)
• Stress management
• Suicidal thoughts & behaviors *If you are currently suicidal please contact 911 or your primary care physician.
• Trauma therapy (including PTSD)
