"Hello and thank you for checking out my profile on Psychology Today! I am a psychotherapist in practice near Downtown Decatur. I work with a variety of adults including those who struggle with stress, "being stuck", depression, anxiety, codependency, and relationship struggles. I am an ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) therapist. What this means in a nutshell is that I help clients to learn and utilize mindfulness to help handle difficult thoughts and feelings more effectively so that they can live into fully being the person they want to be."

"Change is possible! For 20 years I have been helping children, adolescents, and adults to successfully navigate life's challenges.I have been privileged to witness improved self-esteem, decreased anxiety,improved relaionships and increased hope again and again! I see our work together as a joint venture and feel privileged to support, encourage, participate and help navigate as needed. I offer brief treatment for specific challenges and longer-term treatment for more complicated and/or long-standing psychological problems. My approach to treatment is eclectic and and always individually tailored to the particular client or family."

"Feeling "stuck"? Are you read to stop surviving, and start thriving? Your struggles and challenges hold a great opportunity for growth and change. And that's why I'm here; to help you identify and change worn out patterns that no longer work. My clients find our work together helpful addressing their anxiety, grief, anger and resentment. I find Mindfulness and Hypnotherapy effective tools to assist clients in navigating through their "stuck" places."

"Insomnia is a disorder that touches every aspect of a person's life. There's nothing more miserable than struggling to sleep, which seems like it should be so natural and easy. Then, during the day, you wonder why, if you're so tired, is it so hard to sleep at night? It is possible to get sufficient high-quality sleep without the use of medication. Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (CBT-I) has been recommended as the first line of treatment for chronic insomnia, and I have seen it work in clients from age 15 up to 90+."

"Are you stuck? Frazzled? An overwhelmed worrier who is tired of feeling tired? Anxiety and the depression that sometimes comes with it can set you into a dizzying nosedive. Maybe you're afraid that if you slow down everything will fall apart. Swirling worry thoughts might be keeping you up at night. Maybe your relationships are stressing you out or you're out on your own, feeling lost and not sure of what to do with your life. You don't know which way is up or what to do, but you need support to sort it all out."

"Many of my client have anxiety, feel overwhelmed, or are unsure of their purpose in life. Many are hurt and unsure if they are ready to move on, but just can’t seem to uncover a new path. Some clients just need someone to listen, get their experience, and understand how life is for them. And they have tried the same old things which don’t seem to be working anymore. But it’s often hard for them to ask for help, and seems a bit strange if they haven't been to therapy before."
