Adolescence and young adulthood is a time of great transition both mentally and physically. At NextGen Counseling, support is provided for teens and adults to help navigate the seemingly overwhelming emotions they are experiencing from the world around them. In a society where teens and adults are bombarded with contradictory messages on how they should act, think, and feel, therapy provides a "safe zone" for them to voice their concerns and be understood.

We are born as relational beings looking for others to connect with and trust. When early relationships are unavailable or traumatic this leads to dysfunctional ways of relating to others and getting needs met. As a therapist I work with couples, families and individuals in discovering their unhealthy ways of communicating and coping with stress and replacing these with healthier skills. I also work with individuals and issues such as Anxiety, depression, grief and addiction. My desire is to walk through your journey with you providing a safe place to process and learn new healthier ways of managing your life struggles.

Whether someone struggles with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, or general relational issues, I want to develop a plan with them that will be customized to their needs, and specific to what their desired outcome is. I believe a huge part of people coming to therapy is just needing to be heard and understood. I manifest an environment of openness, listening, empathy and no judgement. I want to earn your trust.

Wounded lives, grieving hearts and past emotional scars do not have to become a permanent part of your future. Individuals or couples may feel "stuck" in the midst of personal life struggles such as grief, self-esteem, relationships, job-related stress or the ongoing impact of past abuse. My collaborative empowerment approach, using Cognitive Behavior (CBT) with a mixture of Transactional Analysis (TA) and eclectic techniques, focuses on actively engaging clients. It "provides guidance through life's storms" offering hope and healing in a warm, non-judgmental environment. Counseling is about finding the freedom to write a future you choose to embrace.

Adoption Therapists
In recent years, psychologists have begun to investigate how adopted children and their adoptive families navigate their lives together. In an attempt to help children who have been adopted adjust and thrive in a new home, and to understand why problems may arise, studies look at the genetic as well as both prenatal and postnatal environmental influences on the development of children who have been adopted.
