I look forward to all clients who are committed to making positive changes in their lives. I have experienced both domestic violence and sexual assault.

I recognize that there are significant wait times for a therapist which can be discouraging. I am currently open and scheduling both in office and telehealth appointments.

Verified
People come to therapy for emotional support and seek practical solutions to the very real issues in their lives. I recognize that my clients need to work thru the emotion connected to their circumstances and are also very much looking for a fresh perspective, based in experience and professional training, to help them determine what they can do about it. I work to help my clients find solutions whenever possible & develop effective ways to cope with the impact of those things they can't change. I take an approach to counseling that is practical and goal oriented and have a style that both men and women can connect with.

Are you struggling to work through grief, trauma, anxiety, or other intense emotions, including questions about your identity, infertility, or divorce? I believe trauma often occurs within the context of a relationship and our trauma work will focus on having a healthy relationship within the context of therapy and with yourself. Grief is an ongoing process that takes time. Working through managing distress & emotions, and taking care of yourself can be both more difficult & easier than any of us thought possible.

We are a child and family psychology practice. My associates and I believe in a cooperative treatment experience where client and therapist share responsibility for the identification and mutual direction of problem solving strategies. We are convinced of the importance of involving significant others in the treatment process when possible. Often children and adolescents react to problems in the context of school and family.

Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change."- Jim Rohn. People seek counseling when their emotional pain becomes too much to bear on their own and they want to be free of it. How we deal with life's pain defines who we are. While we don't choose to undergo misfortune, we do decide how we react to those events. I have found that negative experiences can also trigger something positive within us. Crisis offers opportunity for change, and pain can be the catalyst for transformation.

Family visits make you sweat buckets. At home with your partner and kids, you can be yourself, but with extended family, you paste on a fake smile to deal with the underhanded verbal barbs you know are coming. You feel guilty as hell subjecting your partner and kids to this, but it's FAMILY. The thought of losing family connections makes you sick, but so does the idea of playing peacemaker and juggling everyone's baggage just so you can eat some mashed potatoes and turkey in peace. Some part of you knows it doesn't have to be this way though. You know you need to stop giving such a damn, because you're running out of damns to give.

I will work with you to more fully understand the roots of the issues at hand and collaboratively find resolution and greater freedom.

Emotional and psychological well being rests on numerous factors. These factors are both historical and concurrent. Additionally, each person carries various coping skills and resources that need to be utilized, enhanced and incorporated to establish an effective protocal when contending with life's innate struggles and challenges.
Healthy relationships, personal and professional, are the antidote to many of life's difficulties. Removing barriers that limit our relationships is key to establishing a balanced and enjoyable lifestyle.
