I have a Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame and have been working with children, families and individual adults for 25+ years. What I have learned in that time is that we all have rough patches in life. I have also learned that counseling can help, but it is the match between client and counselor that makes all the difference. Clients that match best with me are reflective and have a good sense of humor. It also helps if they have some quirky parts to their personality. I have found these traits help people get through the rough parts of life. Also, I think those traits are the best match for me because I have them too.
My areas of expertise are depression, anxiety and ADHD. I also offer parent training.Other parts of my approach to counseling are cognitive behavior therapy and mindfulness based therapy.
If you are interested in starting sessions or have questions, I would be happy to hear from you.

Groups
Hope & Knowledge Training
This group is really more of a class. Actually, there are two different classes: one for parents and one for professionals. The goal of the class is to teach the Hope & Knowledge program for communication and problem solving. Some study is involved, but most of the work is hands-on learning. We begin by focusing on a few core ideas from psychology: stress, unconscious motivation and ego defenses, and cycles of social interaction. Knowledge of these three areas can greatly increase understanding of complex, troubling behavior. Greater knowledge helps to improve communication and solve problems more effectively.
