Relational Therapists in 27502

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who offers two-day therapy intensives for couples and families. Do you feel like your relationship is falling apart? Is your family in crisis? Do the issues impacting your relationship have a strong sense of urgency? I'm here to help! With specializations in working with infidelity repair and high conflict couples, our two-day intensives allow us to "dive deep, get momentum, and foster a new direction!"

I work with couples who: are getting married and would like pre-marital counseling, couples who have experienced an infidelity and are trying to heal, couples who are thinking of transitioning out of a marriage and would like guidance, and couples who want to remain in a relationship but are fighting constantly. I also practice sex therapy. I help couples cultivate increased sexual intimacy and learn how to have more fulfilling sex.

Women, despite being the foundation of our society (I am a little biased, of course), are often given too much stress to manage effectively. We have to be employees, mothers, wives, friends, daughters and sisters, just to name a few roles that we play. When there is friction or "conflict" in any one of these roles, life can get complicated. I am passionate about supporting women in our many phases of life. I also serve the Latino (Spanish-speaking) community in a culturally sensitive manner.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults dealing with generalized/social anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, life transitions/building independent living skills, healthy decision making, grief/loss, and emotion management. My master’s research focused on the stigma around seeking mental health services across ethnic minority populations. Having a personal and clinical understanding of the need for mental health supports within these groups has made her passionate about utilizing a multicultural approach focused on acceptance and diverse care.

Do you feel unfulfilled, unhappy, stressed, overwhelmed and stuck, but desire to break free from what is holding you back and work towards living your best life? We all possess the innate ability to overcome our challenges and evolve to being the best version of ourselves. With the right tools and support, you are capable of reaching your fullest potential and experiencing true fulfillment and success in life. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-esteem issues or relationship issues, I am committed to exploring and processing with you, your unique path towards wholeness, freedom, and fulfillment.

Are you feeling overwhelmed in how to manage your emotions or perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed in your relationships (marital, parent-child, parent-teenager, family, or friends)? Do you find yourself becoming irritable at small things or simply being someone you do not want to be anymore? If the answer is yes to any of those questions, I am glad you have found my page. We all have difficult times throughout our life and it is okay to need and ask for help. Difficult times or difficult symptoms vary from person to person. I am here to help guide you and find ways to alleviate your concerns.

Tired of facing this alone? Need someone to trust to listen without placing judgment? So often, we try to handle things alone for too long. By the time we ask for help, the problem feels out of control. I want to help you to figure this out and get out from under whatever burden or decision is on you. Whether it is the past, work stress, grief over a loss, regret, anxiety, depression, or a behavior interfering with your life goals, I will work with you to try to figure this out.

We all face unique struggles and hardships in life. Whether you're going through major changes, recovering from difficult experiences, or exploring your identity, these experiences can be difficult and distressing at times. Luckily, we have the power to choose how we respond to our suffering. If you feel therapy could benefit you, I'm here to support and empower you on your journey towards a fulfilling and authentic life. I also offer diagnostic assessments and evaluations for adults. All my services will be available starting late February, 2024.

Have you tried to understand your why, the reason why, why it happened; and continue to struggle with making the connection? If you answered yes, we should talk. I specialize in connections between the self, family, children, and partners. In a time where we seem to always be connected, why do we feel so disconnected and alone? In the individual, the family, and couples connection is paramount. Disconnection happens with trauma, adverse experiences, and unhealthy attachments. Let me help you feel connected again.

Accepting new clients! Are you seeking change in your life, feeling depressed and unmotivated, or need a safe space for personal growth and discovery? Choosing to go to therapy takes courage and picking a therapist who you feel is a good fit for you can be a daunting task. I believe that the therapeutic process works best as a collaborative effort and that together we can make lasting changes. I feel strongly that balancing acceptance and change is valuable in this work and that clients can have both.

Something - some event / loneliness /feeling like a fraud / feeling like something is missing - brought you to look for a resource at this particular time. Wondering "what's wrong with me" What is the message in the difficulty you are having? The answers lie within that message. It is in discovering - or rediscovering - of who you are that you need. It is finding out and getting back to who you genuinely are - only then can you live authentically. Only then can you see your way through. Don't change into someone else. Find - rediscover - your own goodness - your own strengths. Rediscover who YOU are and be that fully.

Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life worth celebrating. We all experience moments that leave us feeling hopeless, sad, frustrated, angry, or frightened. However, life is not meant to be lived in that place of darkness. While we can't change the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Using complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will help unearth old behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're ready to take steps forward, we are ready to help.

I understand that life can be challenging for anyone, and asking for help is okay. We can work together to identify the problems and focus on the solutions. You are a unique individual with many strengths including the ability to make healthy changes in your life. Some of your difficulties may include anger, abuse, stress, low self-esteem, grief, depression, anxiety, addictive/compulsive behaviors, or conflict in relationships. If you are ready to regain control of your life, I can assist you in making that happen.

When to ask for help: Are you feeling overwhelmed? ​ Are you experiencing nightmares, flashbacks, and trouble sleeping at nights? ​ Are you anxious, irritable, and withdrawn from others and activities you once enjoyed? ​ Are you having thoughts of harming yourself or someone else? ​ Have you recently experienced grief or loss? ​ Are you having feelings of hopelessness, diminished self-worth and sadness most days? ​ Are you finding it difficult to focus, trouble concentrating, and plagued with negative thoughts on a daily basis? ​ Are you experiencing relationship issues? Are you having feelings of hopelessness, low self esteem?

You have many options for therapists and how to approach enhanced wellness... And rarely is there a one-size-fits-all option. My clients tend to say that what they get from working with me is direct and immediate relief, with hope and strategies to improve their moods, productivity and relationships. I think of myself as a coach to help clients reach their goals and feel understood. My specialty areas of mindfulness, interpersonal skills development and mood and stress management maximize client potential.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing art therapy along with traditional "talk" therapy addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting, and other challenges. I create a personalized approach (including utilization of techniques from art therapy, solution-focused, person and family centered, cognitive-behavioral, and Yalom therapeutic models) for the adolescents/adults served and empower you to develop the skills and confidence needed to address future issues. Art therapy provides the opportunity to further optimize possibilities for insight, processing, and developing new tools for expression of thoughts/ feelings in ways traditional therapy may not be able to bring about.

My twenty years experience has led me to work with many clients who are dealing with many different stressors in their life. These stressors can lead to anxieties, depression, relationship issues, etc. My main areas of speciality include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship issues. Together, we share the responsibility for progress and improved ways of coping. Ultimately, you will be able to build a sense of personal satisfaction in knowing that when future challenges arise they will be less overwhelming.

I enjoy working with anyone who desires to maximize their strengths and overcome weaknesses. A desire to change and improve life, together with a willingness to work are the only requirements for good therapy. Change is possible for everyone and I enjoy enhancing and utilizing the natural strengths of people as they address growth issues. While understanding from where you have come in family and individual background, together we will develop goals that address the issues you desire to change. I work with individuals, couples and families to assist with any issues of concern.
