Many times we feel stuck in unhealthy habits, relationships or emotions. Try as we might, sometimes we just can't get unstuck. That is when most people seek counseling. Our practice focuses on helping our clients reach their personal life goals and to feel their best physically and emotionally...what we like to call Healthy Living! Many years of experience in working with clients of all ages with all types of challenges has shaped my professional philosophy whereby we start where you are today and together we discover your personal strengths and harness those strengths to progress towards your goals.

My goal is to create an environment that is safe to heal. One that each person can speak freely without fear of judgement or ridicule.I confront the core issues with warmth so that we can tackle each problem one-by-one. I can work with individuals, children, adolescents, couples or families. I am referred to as a "family therapist" because I work with one person or many at the same time. Sessions are tailored to the client needs and goals. Talk therapy is not for everyone and if someone has difficulty expressing themselves we can use other modalities.

I am passionate about collaborating with people as they craft lives for themselves that are far better than average. Counseling is a fantastic path to emotional and cognitive optimization for many people. Sometimes our greatest fulfillment in life comes from the sources we least expect, and this can be a wonderful surprise. Additionally, I think it is important to note that mental, emotional, and physical health all impact one another so it is helpful to examine their interaction in order to holistically understand a person and their experience.

You swear the last time will be your last time, but the overwhelming urge to use drugs, porn, to drink, or self-harm is tremendous, and you succumb to the pressure. The instant you give in, guilt pours in and it feels impossible to walk away. Ashamed, you attempt to hide your pain by continuing the addiction and the cycle continues. An addiction is defined as anything that you have a difficult time living without and it interferes or ruins your work, relationships, or school. This cycle feels draining and is robbing you of a fulfilling life. You can break free.

The teenage years can be a time of joy and growth, but it can also be a time of anxiety, fears, depression, and withdraw. Teens can struggle with friendships, a divorce, bullying, relationships with their parents and siblings, getting organized, school, making decisions, and feeling like they belong. These struggles leave them feeling anxious, uncertain, confused, and depressed. Many teens lack the skills to know how to handle these emotions, so they withdraw, make poor decisions, act out, and some can even self-harm. The once happy kid is now a moody teen and you are wondering if there is an end in sight and are they really okay?

Sometimes life is difficult. We may struggle with disorders, feel stuck, have difficulty with acceptance, lack a means of, or feel disconnected. No matter how small or big the issue, reaching out for help can make all the difference in helping us to deal with whatever life throws our way. I believe that counseling has the ability to set people free, help them to find peace, reconnect, and can open their eyes to the infinite possibilities there are when we take the time to invest in ourselves, our relationships, and our overall well-being.

Taking the steps to begin the journey in self-understanding, behavioral change, relationship management, family reconciliation, or dealing with every day stressors, can at times be quite challenging and unnerving. If you are reading this, I commend you for taking the first steps in healing. Whether you are in need of exploration or skill-building through psychotherapy, or diagnostic clarification or treatment recommendations through psychological testing, I look forward to taking this journey with you.

Life transitions can be challenging. Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or feeling overwhelmed as a result of a recent change in your life? Change is inevitable but often creates stress which can in turn affect our health and well being if left unchecked. If stress, anxiety, or depression are interfering with your daily activities and relationships, professional counseling can be a great resource.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, and I want to help you to explore ways to feel better. I believe we are incredibly resilient, even when we feel anything but. I offer a warm and safe environment in which we both can share in a dialogue that encourages you to speak as your most authentic self and begin moving forward in your life.

With over 30 years in practice as a Psychologist (and a bit more in Psychology before that), I still consider myself to be offering a General Practice of Psychology, in the 'family doctor model'. Much of my work involves helping normal people with normal problems, like managing stress, anxiety, or depression. I do have extensive training and experience in a few specialty areas, and have taught some of that to others in professional Continuing Education programs. I have a special interest in mental health Public Education, which I've expressed in numerous media interviews, a few articles and Facebook posts, and a book in preparation

LMHC and Qualified Supervisor. "Counseling wherever and whenever you are ready". For the past seven years, I have provided mental health and substance use disorder treatment services to children, adolescents, and adults in different setting including the home, school, community, juvenile detention centers, juvenile residential facilities, and telehealth.

I believe that mental health services should be a human right and not a privilege.

You give, hoping to get the same thing in return, only to be disappointed yet again. This disappointment leaves you angry, frustrated, and annoyed. You find yourself in a cycle of constantly lashing out and then apologizing. You wonder, “Is there something wrong with me?” Being a woman in this day and age can be difficult, overwhelming, and draining. Trying to maintain healthy relationships, actively pursue a career, raising children without feeling guilty and finding a balance in life that is productive and fulfilling can be challenging. The busyness of life can leave even the best of women feeling anxious and depressed.
