My practice includes work with individuals, generally ages 16 and up, and couples. I was a Professor of Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte for many years, and now am the Distinguished Chair of the Boulder Crest Institute for Posttraumatic Growth (see www.bouldercrest.org). At Boulder Crest we serve veterans and first responders. With my small practice, I make appointments with you myself, and there is no bureaucracy to deal with. I am on many insurance plans. I think you will find that working with me is comfortable and practical, and we start right away to discuss what your concerns are.

Finding a therapist and beginning therapy can feel incredibly overwhelming, especially if you've never done it before. My goal is to help you navigate this process with ease and comfortability by providing a nonjudgemental and compassionate space to begin. It’s a space where you can take off the masks and personas that you function with during the day and take a deep breath. My focus areas include anxiety, depression, panic attacks, life changes, and mindfulness.

I am accepting new individuals and families. I focus on your problems in living, the important life relationships, your perceptions of those. You know your history, what you have tried. I do not believe in cookie cutter solutions and your perceptions matter. I use your skills, insights to build on your strengths. Once you feel competent, involved and trusting in the work we do together, then I believe we are able to create the changes you want. As partners we work better when we are clear about the problems and possible outcomes and solutions. Again, this is a partnership and I look forward to creating change with you.

My experience as a clinician focuses on eating disorders, mood disorders, substance use, and trauma. I believe too often individuals underestimate their capability in navigating life’s challenges. I believe when we are vulnerable and authentic to our experiences, we can confront our “stuck points” and begin moving forward. I’m here to help you start moving forward.

Are you feeling stressed, defeated, or overwhelmed? Sometimes, we find ourselves feeling “stuck” and unable to move forward—or in any direction. Feeling as if you’re going nowhere, despite energy output, can be discouraging and defeating. Trust me, I understand. Everyone encounters challenging times in their lives. I think we can all agree that you never know what life will throw at you. The journey to healing can be lonely; but I am here to walk with you every step of the way. I can assure you that I will provide a safe place for you to express yourself, free from judgement.

Thank you for your interest, but I am NOT currently accepting new clients and I have a FULL waitlist- I have a preference for utilizing many of the counseling techniques within cognitive behavioral therapy because I believe that although individuals will undoubtedly experience hardship and difficulty within their lives, I feel that problems with emotions and behaviors are many times a result of how one thinks and feels about a situation. Because I believe that counseling is not a “one-size-fits-all” process, I will always maintain awareness of the uniqueness of a client’s situation and adapt my method to suit his or her needs.

Therapy is a healing and transformative process, and it takes courage to seek help with the issues often brought to counseling. I believe healing involves looking at the whole person, and it is important to me to provide a safe environment for my clients where they can explore their challenges without judgment, and share with honesty and openness. I work with children, adolescents, teens & adults who want to become their best selves! Many are seeking greater self-awareness & guidance on their path, & many struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, body image, relationships, family stress & life transitions.

It might feel like it has been a while since you have been able to be who you want to be. You may have had experiences in your life that felt like they took a piece of who you were and you don't know where to go from here. The aftermath of these experiences can feel too big for you to handle alone and you may feel tired, stressed, ashamed, overwhelmed, or like you're never good enough on a daily basis. The weight of it all adds up and you wonder when you will be able to get a break. It feels too heavy to hold on your own anymore and you are ready to take steps towards releasing these burdens and making room for defining who you want

Your chest is tight & you have trouble catching your breath. Sweating, nausea, heart pounding. You avoid situations, become agitated, cling to others. You worry-thinking the worst possible outcome is going to happen. You feel sad, tired, guilty if you don’t meet expectations. You’re exhausted but afraid to slow down or say ‘no’ to others, fearing rejection or loneliness. Your inner voice is constantly negative & you want to stop it or change it, but you don’t know how to change it or even know if it’s possible to truly accept yourself or even find yourself. This doesn't have to be your 'normal'. Life doesn't have to be this hard.
