Are you experiencing repeated conflicts with a child, spouse, or partner and would like some help with communication problems? Have you experienced childhood or adult trauma or abuse (physical, emotional, or sexual)? Do you experience episodes of depression, hyperactivity, mania (decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, more talkative, unusually more productive)? Maybe you have concentration and/or attention difficulties, don't seem to be able to finish projects, or have good organization skills.

Open appointments available now! in person and Telehealth. You are worth it. Take the step. Sometimes it seems like you'll never get out of the quicksand of your struggles. But you can. You don't have to do it alone. I use DBT, CBT and ACT, rooted in a deepened, present oriented, evidenced based practice to help you to overcome your issue. Using your innate intelligence to uncover and explore the aspects that are making things difficult for you, how your thinking and emotions are in play, you can become empowered, have agency, and get on with your life.

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, anger? Does it feel like you can't control what's happening? Abuse/trauma can cause people to do things they never thought possible. I believe every person wakes up in the morning trying to do the best they can. Anger, Depression, Anxiety, Panic can take over a person's life. No one wants to yell at the kids, husbands/wives, friends.Are you afraid of your drinking or drug use? Are you afraid you will hurt yourself or someone else? People use drugs, alcohol, shopping, gambling to manage anxiety, or depression or to manage unresolved grief.

I have spent the past 20 years helping adolescents (and their families) with the work of growing into healthy, happy adults. My background includes teaching high school, running a summer camp, school counseling, and directing September High School. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have brought these experiences into my clinical work.

I specialize in working with teens, adults and families. When a teen or young adult is struggling, so is their family. Whether you are wanting your kid to get more out of life or are concerned about behavior/symptoms that destabilize your child's wellbeing, I can help. I also provide support for young adults that are working through the difficult transition to adulthood. For adult clients, I offer a deep understanding of the challenges of creating and sustaining meaningful relationships and navigating our fast and competitive modern society. You will gain important insights and support on your authentic path.

Affordable psychotherapy services. Low-fee private-pay and Medicaid for individuals, couples, families, teens, and children. Services are provided by licensed clinicians, pre-licensure psychotherapists, and supervised Masters level interns.

I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional pain and distress. My fundamental approach to treatment is relational. Therapy is a process where we will develop an alliance in which your emotional and developmental needs are made a priority. Over time, an internalized healing space forms where you can recover access to parts of your true self. Speaking freely without unnecessary self-censorship may be simple, but it is not easy. I encourage you to try it.

Everyone deserves the best life has to offer. I strive to give my clients the information, insights and tools they need to make the most of their lives. My approach is very eclectic, but draws heavily upon my own life experiences, cognitive behavioral and existential theories.

As your therapist I will work hard to provide you with the tools to overcome obstacles and reach your personal goals. Unlocking your potential will be our primary aim along with developing an awareness of how we create our own blocks. You will also work towards becoming more yourself as strange as that may sound! This involves getting in touch with your own psyche to discover, or rediscover, what makes you tick. It can be an incredibly rewarding process.
