Family Therapy in 29601

Are you having a difficult time adjusting to a recent change in your life or coping with an unexpected loss? Are you longing for peace... a renewed sense of balance? If life's challenges have left you feeling overwhelmed or hopeless, you can find hope and healing through counseling. I specialize in helping people adjust to life transitions, cope with grief and loss, heal past hurts, and improve relationships. I know that counseling is an intimate process that can stir up some anxiety, so I strive to ensure your comfort by offering a safe space where we can develop a supportive relationship while addressing your unique needs.

Carl Rogers stated, "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." You may feel overcome with a lack of control over your own emotions or actions, or maybe you feel at a loss for how to support your child while continuing to form a strong and healthy relationship. I strive to help you or your child work towards authenticity while learning to effectively explore and cope with strong emotions and develop positive communication skills. I am confident in the power of cultivating these vital skills at an early age and empowering caregivers to encourage continued growth.

Evidence shows that understanding our strengths and deficits helps us turn negative and habitual patterns of thought and behavior into healthy ones. This brings forward and activates our best selves. Counseling and coaching can provide us with new perspectives and tools to help us address life's challenges/obstacles more effectively and constructively. Together we work through seemingly impossible impasses to a deeper, more stable sense of well-being, internally and inter-personally. Helping clients adopt positive habits by tapping into their own inner compass and hidden gifts is one of many privileges of my profession.

I have worked in a variety of counseling and mental health settings for over 27 yrs. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals, couples and families with issues such as mood disorders, marital conflict, addiction, parenting and major life adjustment situations such as divorce, unemployment, and major health changes.

The most important thing I convey to clients is "you don't have to live like this". You don't have to just "deal" with the constant nagging doubt of OCD. You don't have to abide the nonstop pressure of anxiety. You don't have to put up with the flashbacks and hyper-vigilance of trauma. No matter how the pain of OCD, anxiety and/or trauma is affecting you, there are ways to fight back, survive and excel. While I am most passionate about OCD, anxiety and trauma, I also work with depression, attachment disorders, codependency, relationship, and family issues.

Going through a difficult time in your family and/or personal relationships and you worry about what you can do to make it better? It seems like you have tried everything, but nothing seems to work, at least not for very long. Have you exhausted yourself trying to find answers that it has taken a personal toll on your own life and happiness? As a therapist, I can help you develop healthy, positive strategies to create the life and healthy relationships you have been looking for.

My goal is to help empower my clients and give them the tools they need to be able to confront any challenges they are facing. The most important thing here is the therapeutic relationship, so I encourage my clients to be open throughout this process to make sure their needs are being met. I'm a bilingual therapist, specializing in trauma with a passion for helping families work on family struggles, mental illness, acculturation, and more impacting a family's ability to function.

When I work with individuals, I facilitate the development of an understanding of the person and what brought them to my office that leads to effective ways of making their lives work better. When I work with couples, I focus on assisting in the development of communication and mutual problem solving skills. When I work with families, I focus on family structure, roles and patterns of interaction.

Is your family hurt by addiction? Does your relationship with your partner feel like it keeps going in circles? Are you working through your LGBQI and Trans* identity? Each of these scenarios can be hard on your mental health, your everyday tasks, and your family. You may feel like no one understands what you and your family are going through. You have reached out to your family and friends, but they do not fully understand. They want to fix your problem without sitting with you through the pain. Without fully understanding you.

As a psychotherapist, I provide a safe, non-judgmental setting for someone to think out loud, process his/her feelings, and brainstorm options and possible solutions. The counseling process offers a trusting, respectful and supportive environment to explore issues, behavioral patterns, set realistic goals, and develop additional coping skills. I provide individual, and couples/marital therapy, and work with adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and other life transitions, relationship issues, step-family issues, difficulties in communication and conflict resolution as well as personal growth and development.

Therapy is like co-authoring a story—embarking on a great journey, overcoming obstacles, noticing the softer moments, and forging a path toward hope. It's an honor to witness my clients' growth, as authenticity and well-being positively shape their world and narratives. I am committed to helping my clients bravely explore new ways toward self-compassion, authenticity, and wholeness. My work focuses on deepening relational satisfaction, creating safe and meaningful connections, and establishing healthy patterns that promote both individual and collective well-being.

There is a solution. There is hope. And there is healing. Anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, disruption in relationships, substance abuse, and on and on. These are curable, changeable, healable issues. When you go straight to the root of the issue, you can bring deep, lasting change. And we now know that the root of every mental health disorder (and many physical diseases as well) is some form of unresolved trauma. Trauma refers to any moment in our lives that we were unsafe in some way. Big or small, single events or years-long patterns-if we aren't able to process it, we store it.
