I provide treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma PTSD, narcisstic abuse recovery and other conditions. This includes treatement of complicated grief stemming from issues of death, break ups, job or any losses. I have expertise working with Military and Veteran population and their familiies.
I provide supportive solution focused counseling to help with every day life challenges. This includes couples, marital, pre-marital, divorce mediation, co-parenting and family counseling. I have 25 years experience working with Military and Veteran populations.
I help couple's address concerns related to improving communication, reducing family conflict, healing through infidelity, trust issues, betrayal trauma, parenting and life transitions. Couple's counseling is normally provided on a self pay basis. Health insurance generally does not pay for stand alone couple's counseling unless one party has a diagnostic condition that is being treated that stems from the relationship distress ( i.e anxiety, adjustment issues etc). Check your insurance benefits for coverage.
