SERVICES
Individual & Family Therapy
I provide therapeutic services to children, adolescents, families, and adults. Therapy may be appropriate for any of a number of issues listed below.
Group Therapy
Groups are an excellent way to address certain concerns, growth areas, or issues. By participating in a group, a teen or child has the opportunity to learn from other people’s experiences, as well as their own. They are able to form new ideas, and practice concrete skills in a safe and fun environment. Finally, for some patients, participation in a group helps to de-stigmatize their experiences, since they are able to identify with peers.
