Using a variety of methods including motivational enhancement therapy, critical time intervention, harm reduction methods, and cognitive behavioral therapy I connect with clients and lead them through short and long term life changes.
At some time in life, everyone feels overwhelmed and looks for a path to a happier, more comfortable day-to-day routine. That is different for everybody, and regardless of your individual needs, I can help you reach your goals. Change is not easy. When change involves mental health including anxiety and depression, substance abuse, or addressing negative behavioral patterns, it is necessary to involve a mental health professional.

My experience is multifaceted and includes crisis evaluation/intervention, substance abuse, Inpt.
All of us can become overwhelmed by life's demands, work responsibilities and relationship challenges. Struggles may seem to resolve over time but yet the same conflicts keep popping up again and again. Attempts to resolve or neutralize their impact, stretch our limits and move boundaries and abandon goals; ultimately losing sight of who we are. I encourage you to take a risk: give yourself permission and time to sort through your thoughts and feelings so you can restore energy and clarity to re-assess personal needs and goals.

Therefore, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary intervention.
As a therapist with over 30 years experience, I focus my practice on life transitions such as divorce, grief/loss, retirement, medical issues, ageism, "empty nest" syndrome and moving. I also assist in helping clients, couples and families struggling with relationships and/or addictions. Once thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are validated, discussed, re-structured, and re-directed, an opportunity for positive transformation, for better physical and emotional health, and for a wonderful quality of life will result.

Therapy is a gift you give yourself. A time and place to explore the things causing you strain or stress, things you may not be happy with in your life, or relationships causing you conflict. All of these can lead to depression and anxiety. Starting therapy can be the first step toward healthier coping and a happier more fulfilling life. Why not give yourself that gift?

Intervention Therapists
How does an intervention work?
An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behavior and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behavior has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.
How effective are interventions?
There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.
What are the limitations of interventions?
While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.
Are there alternatives to interventions?
Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
