Every therapy client has unique needs and goals. Some people seek clarification during transitional times, while others desire an open, nonjudgmental space to share and process complex emotions. Many therapy clients seek a space to vent or air frustrations. I enjoy meeting each client where they are in their mental health journey and working to approach their individual needs.

Life can be overwhelming, confusing, disappointing, and painful. Life can be very fast-paced, and can be very difficult in knowing how to keep up. If you’re feeling depressed, or having difficulty with friendships/relationships/family/job, therapy can help. Are the experiences earlier in your life impacting you now? Is it difficult to make healthy choices? Do you have anger issues? Do you struggle to share emotions that are natural and more vulnerable? Therapy can aid a person in making healthy choices, and improve daily decision-making.

Treatment specialities include ADHD, opposition and defiance, Autism Spectrum Disorder, anxiety, depression, and psychosis.
I believe therapy is about helping people realize the greatest amount of happiness in their lives. This may be learning how to manage one's depression and anxiety, a child or adolescent managing their opposition and defiance, or even some skills to make a speech or fall asleep. I also feel therapy is key in processing daily conflicts that affect our thoughts and feelings, but also learning how to make the best decisions that we value.

I specialize in adult psychosis and childhood issues, ranging from ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depressions, and ODD.
Accepting New Clients. When "Life" happens, it happens fast and sometimes in a way that throws what we had planned for ourselves off course. But, just because we get off track, that does not mean we are lost forever. Life was made to have highs and lows, but successfully navigating through those highs and lows will be our greatest accomplishment. My greatest passion is working with those that are having difficulty navigating these very highs and lows of life. We are not always able to change our physical environment or the "Life" things that happen, BUT we can change the way we look at these events. And THAT is why I am here.

Psychosis Therapists
What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.
When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.
What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.
How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
