"Change is an important but challenging part of life. These changes are hard to manage and seeking support will help to reduce the stress. Anxiety and related disorders are my primary clinical focus. I utilize cognitive behavior therapy and individualized video tools as appropriate to personalize and speed the return to optimum functioning. "

"The emphasis on my training is in child, adolescent and family therpy. I received a Master's degreee in Counseling Psychology at Antioch University of New England. I specialize in eating disorders and I have a combined 25 years experience as a psychotherapist."

"I enjoy working with individuals in short-term and intensive forms of psychotherapy. People seek therapy for many different reasons. Some people hope for deeper understanding and gratification in their lives. Others may feel stuck in distressing patterns that prevent them from feeling calm or from relating with others. Others may need help with a specific difficulty such as depression, or come to terms with a painful past. Others may want to speak more intentionally or need help with moving through a challenging transition. I provide a quiet and respectful atmosphere for patients to increase their self-confidence and integrate change."

"I see adult individual clients, couples and older clients in my practice. I work beside clients in a compassionate manner around issues and challenges that they bring into the therapy room. I always keep hope for clients and help them find and see their strengths and courage."

"THERAPY: If you are depressed or dealing with challenges that directly stem from or connect to your past, you will probably be best served by a skilled therapist. Consider that looking in the rear view mirror. Please label that "RECOVERY". COACHING: If you are ready to move forward, then you can label that "DISCOVERY". Please then consider coaching. I stand ready to partner with you in making a new future."

"Psychotherapy as I practice it is a dynamic and cooperative interchange between you and I, based in ethics and professional standards, and having as its' goals troublesome symptom reduction and long lasting internal and relational change. Interpersonal patterns and unresolved personal, life and relationship issues are foci for change as they are most causal to anxiety, depression and other symptoms that impede healthy emotional functioning. My interest and expertise lie in the areas of young adult/adult development, the psychology of women, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma experiences, relational functioning and personality development. I maintain a healthy respect for the interplay between mind and body."

"It is important to find a therapist who is a good fit. What you can expect from me is a direct and collaborative approach rooted in honesty and compassion. If you are faced with a major life transition, seeking extra support and guidance, or looking to live a more fulfilling life, I aim to provide a comfortable and safe environment to address these important issues. Although we cannot control the hardships that life brings, we can certainly continue to live a meaningful life. I consider it a privilege to be with people as they explore these difficult issues."

"Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness, and that is something to be admired. Being strong doesn't mean we have to work through everything on our own. I practice from the belief that no matter how stuck or lost you may feel, growth and healing are always possible. Therapy is an opportunity to gain insight into your more vulnerable parts of self, expand your perspective, heal and ultimately move towards self-acceptance and a more fulfilling life."

"Significant loss, sadness or anxiety can impair our functioning at any point in our lives. A good therapeutic relationship can offer support and clarity. Emotions can seem overwhelming, but having a safe place to process them can be life-changing."

"Do you become overwhelmed by emotions and stressors in life? Do you feel like others around you don't understand? Are you looking for tools to cope? Are you confused by your own internal conflict, the critics in your head? I provide a non-judgmental, supportive space to help you contain overwhelming emotions, manage your hectic life, and improve your relationships. I can help you reconcile with the seemingly conflicting parts of yourself."

"Welcome to my practice. With over 18 years as a practitioner in the mental health field, I have learned that at the heart of every successful clinical relationship is a strong therapeutic connection between the therapist and client. I consider it my responsibility to create a safe and nonjudgmental space that allows you to openly explore your thoughts and feelings. My approach is collaborative, present-focused, and solution-oriented. I also believe strongly in the connection between the mind and body and support a holistic approach to emotional health and wellness."

"Join me in an exploration of better understanding why you're feeling discomfort in your life. Then we can map some strategies for relief. I have had over 35 years of experience working with individuals and couples who are stuck in a dark pattern of their lives whether it is related to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, affairs, or grief. Sometimes we just have a sense that something isn't quite right. Other times there is trauma that haunts our present life."

"I work with adults who are in crisis and those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. I work from an emotional perspective helping people talk about their feelings and understand where they come from so they will be better able to understand themselves and relate to others more effectively. Sometimes those feelings are about the pains of the present and sometimes they are about the pains of the past. I help people sort out these feelings, find their proper place, let go of old wounds and find the feelings that lead to postive connections."

"I specialize in working with clients who are struggling with issues such as trauma (sexual abuse, family violence, combat trauma, accidents, natural disasters) and/or addiction. I am an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and provide groups and individual services for therapists wanting to enhance their EMDR therapy practice. Other areas of expertise include anger management.. In addition to these issues, I am also trained to treat anxiety, panic attacks and depression."

"Compassion and safety, metaphors and stories, laughter and creativity, brainstorming and education are some of the tools I will combine to help you feel understood, heal, and then grow. I will adjust my style to what I sense you need as a whole person: body, mind, and spirit. I frame my work in psychodynamic theory, while using cognitive-behavioral and experiential techniques. I infuse all sessions with the principles of mindfulness. I can help you organize your thoughts on difficult decisions, and coach you to be more assertive and establish better boundaries."

"It would be a privilege for me to have a healing and growth promoting conversation with you. I am a seasoned clinician with many years of experience and I have extensive post graduate training in individual, family and couples therapy.

Additionally it will substantially reduce your stress, minimize your suffering and enhance your life and relationships."

"My clinical work focuses on helping adults and adolescents work through the many forms of suffering, including anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict. Often it is something that cannot be easily put into words. An initial consultation will seek to find these words, identify relevant symptoms, and set realistic goals for the psychotherapy. If we both agree that working together is a good fit, then we will begin the pursuit of these goals. Otherwise, I will help find the right clinician for you."

"Do you at times feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, confused, empty, dissatisfied with your partner or have difficulty coping? Working together, taking a holistic view of emotional, social and spiritual aspects of your life situation, we will develop an individualized approach to build on your strengths, find balance and acceptance, and bring positive change to your life. Sometimes medication can be an important adjunct to treatment, and I have relationships with several psychiatrists who will work collaboratively with us to provide this service."
