Therapists in 22015

I specialize in adolescent and adult mental health issues and work primarily with individuals and families to provide support in a holistic manner. I am available to help individuals and families with various issues including, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, ADHD, women's issues, life transitions, eating concerns, and social anxiety. If desired, I am able to integrate a faith-based framework for clients.

My clients struggle just like we all struggle. Some of the more unique challenges my clients face are a result of major, life-changing events or transitions. But sometimes events are just the catalyst that leads individuals to seek another perspective. Anxiety and depression are very real concerns for most people, but when they keep us from moving forward, it can be very helpful to seek another perspective from someone outside of family or friends.

It is truly a big step to embark upon the journey of therapy. I work to create a safe space for individuals to explore some of their challenges and allow them to begin living life more fully. I believe that therapy is a collaborative experience. We will develop treatment goals that match where you want to make changes in your life and how to get there. It is important to identify and understand why you are feeling the distress that you are in addition to trying new skills for symptom management and relief.

Looking for the right therapist is an excellent first step towards mental wellness. Are you experiencing emotional distress related to anxiety, sadness, insomnia, chronic medical conditions, or relationship discord? I work collaboratively with clients to help them improve various areas of life while moving towards individual values. My psychotherapy approach integrates evidence-based cognitive, behavioral, and acceptance-centered interventions to facilitate immediate and lasting positive change. I work with my clients to develop individualized plans and integrate tools into life between sessions.

I welcome you to discover if you and I are the right fit. I provide therapy to Individuals and Young Adults who are dealing with transitions that have become overwhelming. I will walk with you to find how you can move from feelings of anxiety or depression to uncovering new hope and strength. Communication and connection with those we relate to most closely are challenged during times of stress and change. Our minds, bodies and spirits are affected. I respectfully listen to all these parts of you, and I will work with you to pursue new health and wholeness.

Finding the appropriate therapist for you can the make the difference in being able to benefit from therapy. With the appropriate tools and insight, a therapist can help uncover resources you already own, or are able to develop as part of a deeper understanding of self. I believe a therapeutic relationship, one that is built on trust, honesty, genuineness, open mindedness and acceptance, has the ability to create meaningful and lasting change in a person's life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, and I see children, adolescents, adults, and couples in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment. I work with individuals and families working through trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. In addition, I often see children suffering from low self-esteem, ADHD and other behavioral struggles. I offer a holistic approach working with both individuals and sometimes their families to provide the best care and outcomes for those in need. Working with parents is usually an important piece to helping a child.

Accepting New Clients I have a passion for helping people feel better. I offer a warm, empathic, nonjudgmental approach to treating my clients & always start where my client is at. I am client centered & recognize that every person is unique. Clients have often told me that they feel comfortable opening up to me as they find me down to earth & relatable. You are in charge of your therapy. In other words, if you need me to give you guidance I can. If you need me to be a sounding board, I will. If you need pure emotional support I will provide that for you, and if you need constructive problem solving we can work on that together.

My 15 years of working with students and parents have given me a deep and personal understanding of how an ADHD or executive dysfunction (EF) diagnosis affects all aspects of a student's life. As a Certified Coach, there is nothing more satisfying to me than to see a student's self-esteem rise as he or she develops skills to overcome tremendous obstacles such as difficulty focusing, procrastination, disorganization, or the inability to set priorities. I am especially proud of my students who, as their confidence grew, became comfortable being their own advocate -- and the pride they felt at achieving such a major accomplishment!
