Mental Health Services at Rise and Thrive

---

Mental illness is a normal response to an abnormal circumstance. Life presents many challenges that can lead to unhealthy behaviors and thought patterns. I assist clients through individual counseling and couples counseling, helping them explore and uncover the root problems that interfere with their mental health. By utilizing a combination of Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I work to replace unhealthy thought and behavior patterns, including those associated with substance abuse counseling.

I provide couples counseling and work with families to help build healthy communication skills, foster a deeper level of connection, and establish a strong foundation within relationships. Utilizing the Gottman Method, I teach couples skills grounded in decades of research, while also offering individual counseling and substance abuse counseling to address a variety of needs.

I specialize in providing individual counseling for children and teenagers who struggle with social anxiety, anger problems, ADHD, low self-esteem, abuse, self-harm, and identity issues. Additionally, I offer couples counseling for families dealing with these challenges. I also work with kids and teens who are considered gifted or highly intelligent, as these children often face unique behavioral and mental health struggles that may require substance abuse counseling.

Life coaching is an opportunity to move beyond healing and begin thriving in all areas of life through increasing emotional intelligence, goal setting, identity development, and self-esteem building. It also involves working through issues that may be creating self-sabotage and limiting success in areas such as individual counseling, couples counseling, and substance abuse counseling.
