High school and college are pivotal times for adolescents and young adults. The academic, social, and emotional pressure can be unmanageable and confusing without a place to talk about it. I assist my clients in navigating friendships, relationships, stress at school, as well as interactions with their parent(s) or caretaker(s). I aim to provide a place where my clients feel they can speak freely and have their confidentiality respected. I aspire to build accountability, responsibility, & self advocacy in my clients using a direct and straightforward approach.

I am a seasoned clinician with more than 30 years experience. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults as well as couples and families. I have an interest in working with adults and adolescents with co-occurring substance use disorders.

Having the courage to face your problems is the first step to feeling better. All of us get stuck in old patterns sometimes, but those patterns can be hard to see without help. My goal is to help you discover and change the patterns that might be causing you to feel sad, stressed, or like something's missing in your life. You might feel "stuck" or unable to change your situation, but you don't know why. I see my job as helping you get "un-stuck" so that you can get closer to where you want to be in life.

I have been a marriage and family therapist for over twenty-five years. Through my counseling years, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families. The issues I have addressed have run from major mental illness, to parental separation/divorce, to blended families Though I have worked with all ages, my primary focus has been with teenagers through older adult populations.

I will listen to your concerns, help you identify your goals, and recognize and utilize your strengths. While exploring new perspectives and healthy coping skills, we will work together to help alleviate stress, anxiety, and depressed mood that can accompany difficult times in your life.

Please note: I am not accepting new clients at this time. Since 1982 I have worked people who are affected by substance misuse, abuse, and dependence; those new to recovery and those who have been in recovery a long time. Services are individualized according to your strengths and needs. Deep empathetic listening is the cornerstone that all interventions are built upon. Motivational interviewing, mindfulness, CBT, DBT skills, supportive counseling, and psychodynamics are among the many interventions that may be used to help you find your truth on the path to discovery and recovery.

****Not accepting new clients until September****It's not about being right or wrong it's about finding common ground. What I have learned throughout a 20+ year career supporting individuals, couples, and families navigating their journey is as long as you are willing to show up we can always find a solution. I specialize in working on relationship dynamics... parent/child, siblings, domestic partners, marriage, employee/boss, ect. The first step is picking up the phone for a free consultation and let's see what we can do to move you forward in a positive effective direction.

This trying time has prompted me to offer video counseling, covered by most insurances, and at a reasonable rate for private pay clients using a secure, HIPAA compliant platform. I have more than 17 years of experience working with individual adults and couples to address a variety of behavioral and relationship issues, and challenging life experiences. I use a number of therapeutic modalities depending on the issue clients come to therapy for, from cognitive behavioral to humanistic. I have spent my career helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, loss, infidelity, substance abuse, compulsive overeating and so much more.

Each of us experiences challenging periods in our lives; periods of loss, transition or confusion during which we are in need of support, guidance and validation. If you are searching for a therapist today, it's likely you find yourself challenged in one or more of these ways and are taking the courageous first step to find the help you need. My role as your therapist is to offer non-judgmental support and help you develop insight, clarity and improved mental health. In our work together I will draw from therapeutic strategies including mindfulness, CBT, talk therapy and psycho education.

I am Psychologist with extensive experience treating many psychological issues. I specialize in anxiety, depression, anger, and weight management as well as other common psychological issues. I rely on a combination of therapeutic approaches including cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-oriented therapies to more insight oriented personality/interpersonal approaches. I see more adults than children but do treat children ages six and above for anxiety and depression. I also treat adolescents, couples and include family members in treatment.

People generally come to therapy when they are experiencing pain, suffering or stagnation and they want to look into the meaning, purpose or direction in their lives. I am a warm, engaging and empathic individual. I aim to provide a safe haven to examine your issues, your concerns, your wishes, dreams, fantasies, fears and frustrations. I believe in the strength of the connection between us to bring about understanding, change and/or, alternatively, acceptance, leading to a fuller, more satisfying life. The psychotherapeutic process is most successful when you feel safe and understood.
