Are you feeling unhappy about your life at this point. often depression is masked with the use of alcohol, drugs or some other kind of compulsive behavior. I have over 30 years treating families, couples, and individuals with these problems. There is no need to continue unhappiness when help is available. Asking for help is the first step, take it now.

I utilize a variety of approaches to address and resolve isues. An approach must fit the individual as well as the problem. I work with adolescents, adults and families. I am certified in Cognitive/Behavioral therapy, short term therapy, as well as numerous other modalities. I work with many diagnoses including OCD, Bipolar Disorder, depression, loss/grief, ADD, ADHD and panic disorders. Occasionally there may not be a formal diagnosis-the problem may be one of learning how to more effectively communicate. Various techniques are addressed to help people strengthen relationships through words.

I believe there is strength to be found in our weaknesses, love to be found through our pain, and light after our darkest days. The pain of healing comes with the self-awareness that otherwise may be over looked. When it becomes more painful to stay in our past then it is scary to step out of it is when the journey begins. I walk beside my clients, not in-front or behind. I remain steady and follow their lead. I provide the safety and hope that everyone needs to face their pain, to feel their pain, and to keep going anyway.

I have over 30 years of experience in the mental health field and in helping individuals, adolescents, couples, and families deal with the challenges they face in their lives.

Adulting is hard. There's a lot of changes we experience in a lifetime. These are moments that can be full of joy and excitement or they can be painful. Even when they're joyous transitions, they come with stress.

Whether you're a naturally anxious or moody person or experiencing something new, therapy can offer a good opportunity for change.
