I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I am currently seeing clients exclusively via telemedicine (secure video platform). I am able to see clients in Texas, Kansas, Alabama, and California.

When grief hasn't been fully addressed, it can look like depression, anxiety, isolation, addictive behaviors to escape the pain, workaholism, relationships that are fragile, a lack of motivation, or feeling overwhelming resentment and bitterness. And grief can occur after a variety of losses that many people don't realize: divorce, moving, graduation, empty nest, retirement, an impactful change in financial position or physical abilities, a pandemic. My clients acutely feel how unresolved grief has become an impediment to living their lives in full, having healthy relationships, and having the energy to go after their goals.
Issues we address include anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, loss, anger, bullying, self-esteem, academic stress, problems at home, personal accountability, peer pressure, and topics that organically arise. Skill-building includes mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and strategies to reduce negative thinking or destructive behaviors. For clients seeking aftercare, this group reinforces DBT skills learned in PHP/IOP, including support for relapse prevention. - Learning to feel more empowered and confident -Identifying and challenging anxious thoughts -Managing social anxiety -Dealing with thoughts of self-harm -Understanding triggers -Reinforcing healthy coping skills -Identifying and working towards immediate and long-term goals

Are you under the spell of self-abandonment, of overworking, over-caretaking? Have you been crowned Queen of Self Denial? We have been conditioned to fear self-attunement and to embrace self-abandonment. Maybe it’s time to play with mythic symbols like Frankenstein, Dumbling and the Ant and the Grasshopper to challenge the cultural taboo against “selfishness.” By creating our own fairy tales we can listen to what our symptoms are trying to tell us, and break that spell of self-abandonment to reclaim the lost treasures of our true needs. Join us in May 2023 for 6 sessions

How do we break the spell of trauma? Shame, internalized gaslighting, trust issues, addictions and all the rest. How do we break free? The funny answer is not by fighting them as enemies. But by befriending them. Once we befriend them, they lose their power over us. But how do we befriend an enemy that lives in our Unconscious? Dreams, art, play, and imagination are all natives of this realm. so they are perfect guides through our underworld of rich personal symbolism to befriend shadow elements and integrate repressed capacities, replenishing vitality. Fun breaks the spell.
In this group, women can explore their feelings about themselves and their relationships with others.

It is my belief that everyone navigates his or her way through their family of origin and early environment by developing strategies and coping techniques, essentially doing the best one can in the circumstances. Later, these ways of handling relationships and stressors can become limiting. Members of couples and families can also develop entrenched ways of relating that become partially based on assumptions. Frustration, anxiety, disappointment and resentment can result. Psychotherapy enables you to understand the evolution of these patterns and develop more choices in how you respond and relate to others.
You may be leaving a long-term relationship, separating from a marriage, or simply struggling as a result of estrangement from a loved one or dissatisfaction with your own outlook. You may wonder if you are ready to be in a relationship. A therapeutic group can offer a sense of support, affiliation and a new outlook. This group is a confidential, online group, meeting in late afternoon or early evening, once a week. You will be able to access the group from the comfort of your own space. Please call for a 15 minute consultation.

A healthy, satisfying relationship is challenging, whether you strive for a good one with your parent, your spouse or partner, or your child. Each person experiences the relationship differently, and individual needs change. My practice includes working with relationship issues, stress and trauma, as well as depression and the impact of substance use, and separation and divorce on individuals, families and children. My therapeutic approach incorporates research and my years of clinical experience working with families, adults and children at all stages of relationships and development. I specialize in treating family members following divorce. Please call with any questions you may have.
