"Partnering with you to improve the quality of your life: that is my goal as your therapist. I'm here to encourage, support, empower, and listen. During our first session we will determine your goals for therapy and what changes you want to make to improve your life. To best help you, I use an integrative technique, designed to meet you where are ready to start, and sessions are tailored to your needs and goals. One of the most important therapeutic factors, according to research and my own experience, is finding the right fit with your therapist."

"I thoroughly enjoy working with "emerging adults." Those who may be struggling to find their sense of identity and adapting to the greater demands and responsibilities of adulthood. Have you recently had a baby, and you're struggling with the transition to motherhood? With advanced training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADS), I have a passion for working with women who are struggling to connect to their baby or finding it hard to feel like themselves again. I also enjoy working with couples and aim to help couples identify repetitive patterns of conflict and access emotions underlying the conflict."

"I employ an integrated and holistic approach both individually and in group. My modalities include existential therapy, psycho-education, sand tray therapy, art therapy, DBT and MI techniques. I address life challenges, conflicts and coming out concerns, while upholding one's psychosocial, physical and psychodynamic strengths and needs. I am working towards my post-MA hours for licensure as an LPC under the direct supervision of Sarah Farnaby, PsyD, LPC, LCPC, Owner and Clinician, and Jennifer Fuentes, MS, LPC, Owner and Clinician at Over The Rainbow,LLC. http://www.overtherainbowllc.com/"

"I love what I do! I can help you turn your insights into action for addictions, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. We may use individual, family, or group therapy, relapse prevention, education, or court involved assessment and treatment. I co-developed the Dual Diagnosis Recovery Program© for people struggling with both a mental health and drug/alcohol issue and is designed to help you based on where you are in your recovery process. My book "Can I Keep Drinking? How You Can Decide When Enough is Enough" helps you figure out how to have a better relationship with alcohol."

Together, we will use the most innovative counseling techniques to tackle long-standing behavior and negative thinking patterns. I will help you gain new insights and find more effective ways of coping."

Training and work with children has included the following needs/challenges: anxiety, learning and emotional disabilities, anger, divorce, social skills deficits, foster care, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) grief and loss, and more.

""Life isn't about finding yourself. Life's about creating yourself," George Bernard Shaw. I provide a safe, supportive and encouraging environment to help you tackle life's challenges. I have worked with individuals battling addiction, navigating life transitions, and coping with trauma. I enjoy helping individuals confronting addiction, addressing LGBT issues and sexual identity questions, and teenagers emerging into adults. While much of therapy analyzes problems, I create a positive environment that will emphasize your strengths and accomplishments so that you can attain your goals."

"I currently specialize in helping children and families address and resolve the various issues which interfere with a satisfying personal and family life. I welcome adults who are struggling with the challenges of parenting and have developed innovative and effective methods to assist in the ongoing self development of the parent.

I am earnestly collaborative in my clinical style and bring 35 years of experience and training to my efforts to be a truly competent and conscious therapist/helper."

I provide an individual approach to therapy based on your unique needs and partner with you to 1) determine desired outcomes, 2) identify what is standing in your way and 3) develop specific strategies for successful change. Because good psychotherapy puts you and your concerns at the center stage of a counseling relationship, you have the opportunity to talk about yourself, explore your own feelings and life experiences and come to understand your patterns of behavior."

Whether it is depression, anxiety, addiction or behavioral problems, it can often feel exhausting and hopeless. However, I believe wholeheartedly that change is always possible, no matter how hard life gets. I create a warm, compassionate environment in which you feel heard and respected. You are the expert on your life, not me. Together we can develop insight and practical solutions that move you closer to the great life you deserve!"
