Many young adults reach a point where they realize something from childhood still lives in their body, their relationships, or their sense of self. You may function well on the outside, yet feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, hypervigilant, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. You might love your parents and still carry pain. You might want healing even if your family does not.
You don’t need permission to heal.

I founded Twin Lakes Therapy to offer a grounded space where adults can work through addiction, trauma, and the emotional patterns that keep them stuck. Managing these co-occurring issues alone is not recommended. Some bounce back and forth from therapists to treatment centers for management, making no progress in the disconnected process. The recommended approach is co-occurring treatment, and I have helped hundreds of people recover their lives by helping them manage addiction while exploring, uncovering, and improving their inner lives and their relationships with others.

I also specialize in PTSD, Chronic pain, Veterans, police officers, first responders and behavior modification for all ages.
I focus on improving life balance. Learning when to pause and enjoy the moment, rather than what you did or didn’t do, or where you need to be or what you need to do next. People tend to let their past, patterns, or habits determine their present and future. I help you find a way to roll with the waves of life and gain resiliency, while riding life’s unpredictable storms. There is no way of being fully prepared for the unexpected, but there are skills and tools for managing the storms. I look to help people find a new way to move forward in life rather than trying to anchor down in the storm. Tides will change and waters can calm.

Behavioral Issues Therapists
What happens in therapy for behavioral issues?
No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behavior issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.
What therapy types help with behavioral issues?
Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.
How long does therapy last for behavioral issues?
Among popular approaches to treating behavioral concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behavior management, often used when the underlying cause of behavior issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioral issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.
How effective is therapy for behavior issues?
Studies show that therapy for behavior issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behavior later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behavior. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
