I help adults learn to stop sabotaging their happiness, by identifying negative patterns in relationships, behavior, and thinking. As a Holistically trained therapist, I offer a variety of therapeutic techniques. I believe individuals are experts on themselves and emphasize the importance of the individual choosing what approach seems most beneficial for them. I work with adults struggling with a variety of issues: ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Self-Esteem issues, and more. I utilize techniques from CBT, DBT, Logotherapy, Relational, and PCT.

There is no real ‘cure’ for being a human being. But in therapy, there can be support, exploration and development of skills that let us live a more meaningful and manageable life. Perspective of another, more objective person, can help. When you are in the movie, you can't watch it.

I have experience working with clients of all ages. My ideal client is a child, teen, or young adult who is struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, a lack of self-esteem, or any major or minor life transition.

I use a blend of Therapy+Coaching with a clinical style leaning heavily toward Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. My practice with Riser+Tread centers around working with youth/male clients, and empowering them to "step up and move forward" using tools and strategies in-session and between sessions that maximize progress and momentum, while helping clients reach their full potential. Our work focuses on building confidence and social skills, reducing anxiety or depression if present, and managing ADHD.

I enjoy working with a variety of people and issues. My practice is about 50% individual adults and 50% children and families. Typical issues for adults might be depression, anxiety, coping with chronic illness, or relationship problems. For children and their parents, school difficulties, peer relationships, and social skills tend to be most common. These may be due to developmental difficulties, ADHD, or family discord/divorce.

Her areas of speciality include, but are not limited to, depressive disorders, anxiety and trauma-related disorders, stress-related disorders, and ADHD.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of assisting countless individuals and families in navigating life's transitions and challenges. Whether it's providing therapy for young adults struggling with anxiety and depression, helping children manage symptoms of ADHD, facilitating support groups for survivors of trauma, or advocating for children's rights within the foster care system, I am dedicated to delivering comprehensive care tailored to each client's unique needs.

I understand that taking those initial steps toward counseling can be a challenging endeavor. As a practitioner who highly values the therapeutic relationship, I am committed to creating a safe and nurturing space where you can feel comfortable and truly heard. I have over 18 years of hands-on experience in various clinical settings, and nearly 14 years as an adjustment counselor in a school setting. Working in schools allowed me to support a diverse population of students, colleagues, and parents while adapting to a fast-paced and ever-changing environment.

I have a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Massachusetts at Boston. I have worked closely with children and families as an In-Home Therapist, specializing in Art Therapy, Play Therapy, and mindfulness. Therapy can be a scary and overwhelming place and I believe it is important to make clients feel comfortable and create a safe space for them to share. I incorporate CBT in our sessions to bring to light how emotions can impact behavior patterns, but in a way that is not overwhelming to the client.

Accepting new clients! Is there something about your life that you'd like to see change? I've worked in a variety of settings - residential treatment facilities, sober houses, in-home behavioral health services, concierge medicine, outpatient, and others - with a wide range of clients. Let me use my experience to help you realize the change you want to see.

I have been working in private practice since 1985. I provide therapy for adolescents and adults. I am a provider with low vision. This does not interfere with my clinical abilities, but does prevent me from working with children and families. My services are generally short-termed, and solution-oriented. I can offer a wide variety of treatment strategies and tailor services to specific needs. My clients participate in forming treatment plans and goals. I offer feedback, constructive suggestions and techniques. Client satisfaction is important to me. I look forward to working with you.

If you are struggling with feeling stuck in the dark and lost in the past, then I may be able to help. Working together I can guide you to find the light within what feels like darkness. Being open to discuss and explore times of feeling lost, how we became lost and how we can find ourselves again. Utilizing your pre-existing strengths and internal listening to create growth and positive change is where the work begins. From creating this space, I believe that you can create healthy coping skills, improve communication skills/relationships, set appropriate boundaries, decrease levels of depression and anxiety and so much more.

Is your life being negatively affected by your sexual behaviors? Have you made repeated efforts to change but find yourself drawn back to compulsive sexual behavior? I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience dealing with sexual compulsivity or addiction. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist who understands what steps are necessary to establish real sobriety. I also am a Masters level Drug and Alcohol Counselor with experience in treating substance addictions as well as helping recovering families. I utilize CBT and an eclectic,empathic, directive orientation that emphasizes the fact that addiction/compulsive behavior is treatable!

Learn to recognize your strengths and use them to develop skills to help manage the challenges in your life. Relationship problems, anxiety, depression, parenting issues, and substance abuse are all problems that leave people feeling stuck and unable to move forward. With a Doctorate in Psychology and more than 20 years clinical experience, I will work in a collaborative way to help you understand the nature of the problems in your life and to set forth your goals for moving forward. You will discover your strengths, develop your skills for managing your life situation, and make the changes you seek.

For me, psychotherapy must address the needs of the person. Sometimes this can mean exploring how you got to the point you are at, and how you want to change; and sometimes you may want specific tools to address a very specific issue. Finding the right therapist is perhaps one of the most important choices you will make and also one of the most difficult. Although a therapist may have an armory of techniques to use, what I have found to be at the heart of any type of psychotherapy is whether the relationship works between you and your therapist.
