Hi, thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I provide home-based therapeutic services for adults, adolescents and children. In addition, I provide family and couples counseling. My preference is working with families in the comfort of their home while providing insight into family dynamics that might not be as evident in an office setting. My specialty is working with children and families in crisis, such as families struggling with a child with anger issues, ADHD, or emotional issues which may be impacting the family unit or causing problems in school.
I also am the program manager for an Equine Assisted Psychotherapy program "Healing Hearts and Broken Spirits" located on a forty acre farm in Western Coventry. For more than twenty years, I have worked with horses. I have researched and studied the impact horses have on adults, adolescents, and children with mental health, behavioral and/or emotional issues. As a result, I have incorporated horses into my sessions with clients. These important sessions may be reimbursable by your health insurance provider if a mental health diagnosis is determined during the initial assessment. Please contact me for further information.

Individual therapy, centered on anxiety, depression, and relational discord, can facilitate cognitive and behavioral change.
Relationships and life transitions often involve loss, grief, and sadness. Emotional pain, moreover, often makes everyday life seem unbearable and exhausting. Outpatient counseling and psychotherapy - both marital and individual - can facilitate the relief of the sadness, confusion, and anxiety that are part of working through personal and relational stressors. The approaches and models in which I have been trained and educated - interpersonal, cognitive behavioral, and psychodynamic therapies - are also informed by and infused with with the essential, humane and core qualities of empathy, understanding, warmth, and genuineness.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I believe strongly in the power of therapy to lead to greater self-awareness and to relieve symptoms including depression and anxiety. For therapy to be effective, however, there must be a warm and trusting relationship between the therapist and patient. In the 20 years I have been a therapist, I have successfully treated children, adolescents, adults and families with a wide range of mental health issues. While the underlying concerns vary from patient to patient, the key to therapy is always providing a nurturing environment in which patients feel safe expressing their emotions.

Behavioral Issues Therapists
What happens in therapy for behavioral issues?
No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behavior issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.
What therapy types help with behavioral issues?
Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.
How long does therapy last for behavioral issues?
Among popular approaches to treating behavioral concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behavior management, often used when the underlying cause of behavior issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioral issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.
How effective is therapy for behavior issues?
Studies show that therapy for behavior issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behavior later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behavior. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
