Types Of Therapy

I provide an array of services to meet your needs. I can meet with people one-on-one for Individual Therapy, I can meet with entire families (or portions of a family when appropriate, although not couples) for Family Therapy, and I offer Group Therapy to people who have a common concern or goal. I will also be adding workshops to my list of services and I'm open to ideas of what you might be interested in attending. Often my clients decide to partake in more than one type of Counseling service, such as receiving individual and group therapy. We can figure out together what would best meet your needs.

My sessions are a full hour (60 minutes rather than the traditional 50 minutes). I also offer 90 minute and 2 hour sessions when needed. My groups sessions are typically 90 minutes but may vary depending on the group. For information about rates please visit my Fees page.
