I see therapy as an opportunity to explore one’s life with compassion, hope and resiliency. How often we get stuck in painful memories leading to depression and despair. Or we try to control the future which results in anxiety, worry and at times, terror. In a respectful, supportive and safe environment, therapy helps identify the areas of your life that have presented barriers and obstacles to your happiness and well-being. Discovery allows identification of healthy choices and much deserved change. At times this may be painful, yet through supportive and encouraging team work, the outcome is the gift.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults, as well as, with couples and families, with the following concerns: Mood disorders, emotional dysregulation, Depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Anxiety, trauma, life adjustments, relational issues, separation or divorce, grief and loss, and identity issues/conflicts. I also provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) treatment.

Are you strong and professional at work but have difficulty setting boundaries in your relationships? Have you learned to shut down so you aren't seen as "too emotional?" Wouldn't it help to have a place to sort out feelings that come with being a successful woman and not be judged? A confidential setting where you won't need to protect anyone from your fear, anger, or resentments. Are there experiences or issues from your past that are affecting your ability to live in the present? Patterns that keep showing up in your emotional life? Are you exhausted by the level of anxiety you live with every damn day? I can help.

Welcome! Sometimes it's difficult to figure things out on your own -- especially when you have feelings and moods that challenge you, or issues and problems that can feel overwhelming. Perhaps you would like to make changes in your relationships or career path, and feel stuck and unable to move forward. Therapy can provide a safe space to address these and other concerns, and help you to create a happier and more satisfying life.

Finding the right treatment for ADHD, LD and similar problems can be very challenging. The best treatment begins with the right diagnosis. I use a research-based, comprehensive approach to fully evaluate what causes your problems in school, with peers or family or at the work place. Once we have an answer, I will develop a treatment plan specific to your needs. ADHD should not be treated with a one-size-fits-all approach. Therefore, my focus is evidence-based individualized care for children, teens and adults with ADHD, LD and other problems at home or at work.

WHY SEEK THERAPY? Feeling dissatisfaction, even misery, despite a “good” life. Or, having knowledge of what’s wrong, but inability to change it. Perhaps wondering how to get through a storm of terrible events. Feeling stuck in life. Or possibly a decision to do something about chronic anxiety or stress. Relationship troubles and conflict. Sadness, depression, despair. Feeling hyper, pushing yourself, like living in overdrive. Or being burdened by symptoms or habits that will not go away. Trauma symptoms. Dissociation or even wondering if you are more than one person inside. Every life has unique strengths and unique difficulties.

There is something in every one of us that lets us know when we do not feel OK. Equally, there is something in each of us that strives to be OK; and we try to move forward; towards feeling positive, loved, connected, secure and having purpose. When someone comes into therapy they are responding to a drive for healing and health. They come to find out and fix what ever is making them not feel OK. Consider what can happen when your inner self-healing capabilities are engaged; when you are willing to engage in the necessary process to become OK.

Do you have difficulty communicating your emotions? Do you struggle in your relationships? Do you worry often about the future or get stuck thinking about the past? If any of these things come up for you often, talking with a therapist can help. Whether you have experienced a traumatic event or are currently struggling with anxiety or depression, there is hope.

Participating in psychotherapy can be life changing. It gives you an ally in exploring and resolving your current or lifelong concerns.
