I work with clients who have neurodevelopmental concerns. Clients I typically see, their parents are concerned their children either have ADHD, Autism, Language deficits, intellectual disabilities, or family dynamics that have impacted their daily functioning. At times, aggression, mood, or trauma issues may be present; which make it difficult to determine what the issue is. Additionally, parents periodically want clarification on how their child thinks, and a neuropsychological assessment is best suited in this situation. Difficulties with learning, understanding, or emotional regulation may lead parents to chose this route.

If you are frustrated and angry with your spouse or teen, I can help you resolve the conflict and decrease your frustration.

If you feel you are alone and/or no one understands you, my office is a comfortable place where you will not be alone and you will be understood and helped.

My practice is rooted in the idea that we are all born with basic goodness, something we never lose. As we grow, messages are passed down from parents, family, and society that create our world view. Experiences shape how we attach to others and ourselves. As children, we would have had no choice but to take in these beliefs. These messages were often the products of well-meaning, conditioned people doing the best they could. We make them our own, often unquestioning them. Even if the story created is miserable, it is a known quantity, and is therefore safe. Therapy provides us a way out of someone else's story, to create anew.

I specialize in helping marriages & couples with issues from addiction to infidelity to communication. I can help you, your loved one or adolescent, with emotional, relational or addiction issues.

My passion is facilitating connection. There is so much pain and struggle that results from feeling disconnected from our partners and our families. Too often, the greatest pain is felt when we are disconnected from ourselves. This can show up in many ways: relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and more. Together, through the cultivation of conscious awareness and the building of new skills, we will locate your inner resiliency and use that to forge a path to a better life.

As we move more deeply into the unfamiliar territory of COVID-19, new emotional skills are necessary. Learn how to develop competence to approach this time with emotional resiliency and resolve. In a nurturing and supportive environment, my aim is to provide a safe place for you as an individual or as a couple to experience life more deeply. This challenging time can be used to fall asleep or it can be used to awaken to what limiting beliefs or blocks are getting in the way of you being your best self.

I am skilled in providing trauma-focused, solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapy. However, if you prefer traditional talk therapy, that is quite alright, I can do that too.

I am trained in TF-CBT and EMDR.

I believe that each client, child or adult, is an individual and should be treated as such. Because of this I tailor my treatment modality to fit the specific needs of those whom I see. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have the ability to work with a wide variety of clientele. I have a passion for working with children and adolescents because of the complicated issues so many of them face. Overall, I seek to create the safety of a mutual relationship in which clients can begin to discover their inspiration from within.

I became a registered psychotherapist after over 35 years as a healthcare professional. I wanted to understand the mind-body reciprocal interactions and the power of the unconscious mind. If mental and/or physical suffering has left you feeling isolated, betrayed, and exhausted you may believe there is no way out. If you feel stuck at every turn, you are in paradox. Being in paradox is an indication that you are facing a profound opportunity to become your authentic self. If you are willing to take the deep journey into you, I am not afraid. I have seen the blackest black imaginable. There is a way out.

My strength is client centered care focused on alleviating the shame and stigma associated with addiction and depression. My goal is to guide each individual; through personal choice, to achieve healthy and positive life outcomes. It has been my experience that change comes with awareness, and that knowledge creates power in our lives. Both allow for new perspectives and understanding of where we have been to shape and create the outcomes that we desire. I believe that challenges and struggle allow us to become stronger, more resilient and bring a sense of gratitude for the strengthening of our character and resolve.

You’re courageous, willing to dive deep in order to live your life fully and heal the stuff that challenges your authentic presence in the world. Perhaps the life you've dreamed of doesn't match the life you've dreamed of. You know there's more, more to you and this crazy world we live in – so much more than meets the eye – and you want to step into that field of possibility. You want to live in alignment with your full potential and make the difference only you can make.

We humans are blessed with big brains, but overthinking causes suffering. It is natural to be anxious or worried at times. Past experiences can overwhelm our system and drag us down. The unknowable future can be frightening too. Life may become very uncomfortable! Without effective coping skills, we risk developing self-sabotaging habits that address our discomfort only in the short term. Habits like avoiding situations, abusing drugs/alcohol/gaming/food/relationships prolong our discomfort! All ages struggle with discomfort and seek relief. You could spend a lifetime yearning for ease while change is within reach.
