I have worked with persons throughout the lifespan. Most recently, I consulted at skilled nursing homes and assisted care facilities with a focus on illness and end of life challenges. I enjoy working with young adults who are just finding their way in this world and navigating new relationships and responsibilities. I accept clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, phobias, stress, identity development, assertiveness, anger management, and relationship challenges for those who are heterosexual, LGBTQ, caregivers, and parents.

I am experienced in depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relational conflict, family systems, addiction, criminal justice, anger management, eating disorders/body image, and mood disorders. The ideal client actively wants to explore their behaviors and thinking patterns and identify the underlying causes of these behaviors. In addition, the ideal client will be willing to tackle goals inside & outside therapy sessions. My ideal client would be an individual who is internally and externally motivated to change their life. They show up to sessions on time consistently and make a conscious effort to engage in the therapeutic process.

I approach each client's therapy based on his or her unique goals and needs. You and I work together as a team to identify the patterns that are affecting your life, and build the knowledge and skills to allow you to live a satisfying life. I am flexible in how I approach treatment, as I will integrate various therapy practices and approaches in order to best fit your needs. I work to create a safe enviornment where client's can grow and learn through their struggles.

I work with children through adults who are dealing with various life challenges. This can include anxiety, depression, obsessions and compulsive behaviors, impulsivity, inattentiveness, anger, emotion dysregulation, picking/pulling behaviors, social skills, body image, confidence, and life stressors. My therapy style is encouraging, accepting, and goal oriented. I provide an outlet to help individuals to share emotions and to strengthen resilience. I highlight individuals’ self-worth, guide them through completing tasks, while helping them learn to live a values-based lifestyle.

I am a passionate, client-centered, and skilled Licensed Professional Counselor. I strive to meet my clients wherever they happen to be in the moment of seeking therapy and help them get to where they want to be through using evidence-based interventions, encouragement, support, and empowerment. It is my privilege to offer help and hope to my clients who are facing challenges in their life’s journey. I strongly believe that clients are the expert on their own lives and they have the answers to their own questions. My role is to work with my clients to find those answers, and help them become the best version of themselves.

Each struggle in life brings an opportunity to uncover conflicts and create healing with a deeper exploration in therapy. I meet people where they are in life and begin treatment there. I have hope that healing can occur in everyone if they have motivation. I use a creative arts, integrative, evidence based model to explore patterns, beliefs, and get to the core so we can rebuild where the healing is needed. With children, I use play therapy and creative arts. I use insight, goals, and strengths to create treatments plans. We re-assess every few months to track progress.

This world is full of uncertainty, doubt, pain, joys, triumphs, misery, chaos, peaks and valleys, and all of those moments in between. There are times when everything in your life may appear to be going smoothly and things go off without a hitch. There are other times during which no matter how hard you try, you find yourself in a whirlwind of chaos and turmoil, walking down a dark and lonely path with nobody in sight to throw you a lifeline. There are times in your life when you may feel misunderstood by family and friends, and you need someone to really listen, empathize, and validate your experience.

Are you struggling with wanting change and not knowing how to start? Are you dealing with worry, sadness or relationship struggles? Are you wanting to work through trauma from your past and not able to navigate that on your own? If you identify with these questions I may be the right therapist for you.

I am not accepting new patients at this time. My schedule is full right now. I am a licensed Psychologist who has been in practice for 35 years. My clients feel secure so that they can address their intimate, personal concerns. I am goal directed, helping people identify what they want to accomplish. I am kind, direct and straightforward. Most people allow their past to define their future. I am committed to assisting people in creating a healthy future. I teach my clients how to resolve their past. Then, their future is limitless. Each person is then able to see their world with more hope and optimism.

When I work with a client, my hope is that the individual will experience a sense of understanding and hopefulness for change in their present situation. I believe that when an individual feels that the clinician is truly invested in "walking with" the "whole person" on their journey, the client will gain a new perspective on their movement in life. When I see individuals who are struggling with anxiety and/or depression, relational concerns, life stressors, and/or loss and transition issues, my main focus is to support the client in developing a hopefulness that positive change is possible.

Insight. Strategies. Problem Solving. Coaching. Support. I draw on over 20 years of experience working with adults, teens, and children to help clients with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Asperger's/Autism Spectrum. My therapy is focused on increasing insight and taking small steps that lead to positive changes. It is collaborative, strengths-based, goal-oriented, and structured to produce results in weeks to months, not years. I can help with issues such as stress management, motivation, organization, coping skills, self-esteem, social skills, communication issues in relationships, and life direction.

I've been a clinical psychologist for 34 years, giving clients the support and strategies they need to deal with anxiety, depression, negative self-esteem, stress management, organizational skills, motivation, trauma and tragedy, and grief and loss. I have had the best results by using COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT), and Mindfulness Meditation. I also use HYPNOSIS if and when appropriate. I also offer Live, Online VIDEO COUNSELING, which is more convenient for many clients, and very helpful to clients for whom distance and transportation are obstacles to getting the help they want and need.

As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I have a passion for helping individuals, couples, & families strive towards change and maintain healthy relationships- working with romantic partners, parents and children, or helping individuals build stronger connect with others .
