It is important as a therapist to see each person as unique and tailor their treatment to their own special needs. Developing a special, safe, and caring environment is especially important. I try to act more as a facilitator than an expert; helping to guide each person, family, and couple toward more rewarding relationships.

 

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY:

Do you want effective help for your stress and anxiety? You may find yourself sleeping poorly, or unable to concentrate. Others may have said that you seem tense all the time, or that you snap at them. Your dentist might have commented that your grind your teeth, or your doctor has talked to you about your blood pressure. Whatever the symptoms, you know that you need to make changes before your health, and your relationships, get more damaged than they already are.

 

 

COUPLES COUNSELING

 

Relationships are wonderful yet extremely complicated and challenging. We all want them, most of us have them, and the tricky part is what do we do with them once we are in them? It is a myth that a happy or healthy relationship has no problems. When you are in an intimate relationship it  takes work, lots of work. And, like everything in life there are special tools that can make a good relationship better or help a troubled one get back on track Sometimes having an objective and specially trained person who is not part of the couple or family can see and hear in a different way can help. My goal is to provide a perspective that is caring, honest, and balanced.

 

CHILDREN AND TEENS

 

Children and adolescents are the focus of my practice. I work with children ages five through middle school. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues, providing services for children with ADHD to Social Anxiety Issues, and beyond. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere,  I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each child's individual needs to help attain the personal growth they need. I am a child therapist in Camarillo, Ca. if your child needs help please consider my compassionate counseling.

 

Note, Play Therapy with children is done in a specially equipped playroom, which employs the use of art, sand tray, puppets, therapeutic games, and other play materials. Parents and caretakers are seen as key components to their child's healing.

 

FAMILY THERAPY

When all members of a family come to counseling they can experience extraordinary growth. When all members are present there is an opportunity for all members to listen to each other,  and learn to  reduce conflict and stress. The opportunity for everyone to benefit increases because all family members are present which assists in reducing the chance of misunderstanding each other.  If you would like your family to learn new communication skills,  parenting tips,  manners and social skills,  please contact me  I am here to assist you and your family in any way I can.
