"It’s bedtime. You desperately need a good night’s rest. Tomorrow is jam-packed. But just about the time you think you’re about to doze off, the thoughts start spinning around. You toss and turn. “Oh no…not another night of this. I have to get some sleep!” It doesn’t happen. Your thoughts loop around like a scary merry-go-round. Tomorrow will be another round of life demands – children, job, errands, chores, etc. All day, you’ll swing between two moods – edgy or lethargic. But just under the surface is the nagging feeling that there must be more to life. "

"Are you looking for a strength-based approach to life? Are you generally an internally peaceful and pleasant person but your unwanted mood or thoughts are more powerful? Do stress, anxiety, and depression make you someone that you do not recognize? Are you mad, sad, or quiet without a true reason that you can express? Are you isolating yourself from activities that you used to enjoy or would consider pleasurable? Are you tired of people looking at who you are from the outside and think that you have everything that you need, but they are missing your internal pain?"

"Life is a developmental process challenging us to become all that we can. It begins in childhood and moves into old age challenging us by the unexpected. It calls upon us to adapt and rethink our ways of being in the world both inside ourselves and in relationships with others. These challenges come in many forms (disappointments in ourselves and relationships, losses, illnesses (emotional and physical), and the unexpected. Psychotherapy provides a space for joint exploration allowing individuals, couples and families to explore these challenges. It offers an opportunity to gain greater understanding and move toward creating a richer and more meaningful life."

"I believe that shame - the belief that we're not enough or too much in some way - is often at the root of much of our suffering. I will work with you to help alleviate symptoms (such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, disordered eating, extreme worrying, self-criticism or a lack of connection with others) and the deeper pain underneath those symptoms. I offer a safe, warm, and compassionate space where I can help you to access your own internal resources in order to unburden the pain that parts of you may be carrying."

"My goal is to help you get unstuck. You will begin to feel better just by taking the first step. Serious problems often need someone to both listen and offer alternative ways for thinking in order to make changes that last. Doing nothing and just hoping and wishing that things will get better doesn't work. I will prompt you and support you in taking concrete steps. I talk straight, listen closely and respectfully ask good questions. Starting with our first session, you will begin to figure out a new way to go. Let's talk soon about beginning."

I provide parenting support, family therapy and couples counseling.
I also provide psychological testing, including ADHD and AAP testing for school aged children and adolescents and complete evaluations for differential diagnosis."
