As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I’m trained to work with a wide range of mental health difficulties and disorders, but my sweet spot is helping teens and adults find freedom from perfectionism, anxiety, relational distress, and difficult life transitions. My goal is to create a safe environment for your growth and healing, providing you with the tools and support you need to shine.
Through individual or relational counseling, Starlight provides accessible, personalized care through evidence-based practices.
individual counseling
As human beings in a busy society, we often feel the weight of the world on our shoulders. Individual counseling is where you get to process, learn, grow, and develop skills to help manage this heaviness in a safe space. We might discuss your many feelings, explore unhelpful thoughts, and challenge existing patterns in our work together. By the end of each session together, I hope you leave feeling lighter, more free, and more confident.
couples counseling
Every relationship has its problems, whether they are avoided or addressed. Couples counseling is a place for couples, in any stage of their relationship, to address these problems and strengthen your bonds.
We might have tough conversations where we discuss ways to enhance communication, better conflict management, and increase understanding within the relationship in order to create more unity and peace at home. Your relationship can move forward from the existing cycle of pain and form new, healthy patterns.
family/parenting counseling
Families are complex systems, and sometimes these systems malfunction or need some maintenance work– that is what family therapy is for. Family therapy focuses on addressing challenges within a family system, strengthening relationships amongst family members, and equipping you with tools to maintain the changes we make together. We might discuss ways to improve communication patterns, reduce conflict, and increase understanding within the family in order to create a better functioning home environment.
Problems within families are often not simple. If they were, your family likely would have already found a solution and moved forward a long time ago. I have the training and tools that can help your family move from your cycle of distress and form new, healthy structures and boundaries
