Saving Grace Counseling Services

In therapy sessions we’ll work to solve current problems and improve positive thinking and behavior. I will help you “re-frame” your reactions and provide you with valuable tools to cope with life’s obstacles. I treat a wide variety of conditions including anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I am here to support you and work with you to create individualized goals and I am with you each step of the way while you meet them. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and a holistic approach to healthy mind and body to help you succeed. I offer flexible morning, evening, and weekend appointments to help accommodate busy schedules.

There are times in everyone’s life when the pressures of the world can feel overwhelming. In these situations, talking to a therapist can be incredibly beneficial. While adults may have an easier time knowing when they need this help, often it is up to the adults in a child’s life to get them the help they need. If a parent or teacher is concerned about a child’s mental health, it’s best to seek help sooner rather than later. Sometimes this may be a temporary trouble relating to an event in the child’s life, such as the loss of a loved one or a divorce. However, a child may also be showing the beginnings of a deeper issue. I specialize in childhood emotional and behavioral challenges at home and school, including anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and defiance. I work with families and schools to help meet each child's individual goals and to build children's social and coping skills.

Family therapy can be vital in helping create a healthy and harmonious family system. Having a secure, mentally healthy family unit is incredibly beneficial to the well-being of a child or children, but also the well being of the parent(s)/caregivers.

When considering family therapy, it's important to recognize the ways it can help everyone move forward towards a better life. It can be beneficial in providing you and your family with information and treatment that considers your family’s values. Therapy can help in learning to adapt and resolve intrusive patterns in individual lives and family dynamics; it can also help to improve communication between family members. Many of us know how critical communication is to any healthy relationship dynamic, but that doesn’t mean we always recognize where the issues are. Therapy can help by finding better ways for family members to communicate with one another, but also by improving how individuals communicate their own thoughts and feelings in a way that is productive and increases the quality of life.
