Life is hard and trauma of all kinds can wear down the strongest of us! But it is the strong who actually ask for help to deal with the challenges that life today throws at us. As a Cognitive-Behavioral therapist who practices from the Strengths Perspective, I work with my clients to identify those thoughts, behaviors and situations that might be holding them back, and implement a plan that will meet their goals. My goal is not to keep anyone in therapy for the rest of their lives, but rather to utilize therapy to overcome their challenges and achieve the inner peace they deserve.

If you would like to resolve longstanding feelings of depression and anxiety, feelings of loss, the symptoms of trauma, or a tendency to repeat the same problems in relationships, you may have found that time-limited, symptom-focused therapy hasn't relieved your suffering. Perhaps it has even discouraged you from thinking you can find a lasting solution to your problems. You may feel hopeless about being able to stop what seems like a repeating series of crises, feeling resigned to suffer or cope with difficulty.

My goal is to help you live a happier,more peaceful life.In practice I use mindfulness based psychotherapy/coaching practices and cognitive/behavioral methods. Symptoms are often signs that old learned ways of coping no longer work and new strategies are needed. As a long time psychotherapist I can assist you in recognizing your strengths in a supportive environment and help you find more successful ways of dealing with changes and stresses you face.I treat clients with relationship conflicts, separation and divorce issues. I also treat depression, anxiety and stress related problems using a positive solution based approach.

My ideal client would present solution-focused with a desire to gain insight and understanding of presenting symptomatically and how those symptoms manifested. Their issues, regardless of being situational or organic, should be addressed directly with kindness and acceptance without judgement. The need should be to not only identify and address their current symptoms but also to work towards a more profound understanding of why such symptoms are present and how to create an opportunity for change. The goal should support a progressive change to improve quality of life.

I appreciate you taking an interest in my practice. Whether new to counseling or having had experience in the past, therapy is a courageous step to personal growth and change! I respect that each person has unique needs. With training in a variety of therapeutic approaches including interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, emotion theory and affective neuroscience, body-focused approaches, and transformational studies, an individualized plan will be developed to meet your goals. I am inspired by those individuals who have had difficult life experiences or challenging situations. My most rewarding experience continues to be a facilitator of growth and change in a safe accepting environment.

Are you or a loved one struggling with alcohol, opiates, benzos or other drugs? What about depression and anxiety, insomnia and loss of self-esteem? There is hope and treatment for people struggling and their family members. Together, we will create a plan to address your situation, helping you or a loved one understand the disease of addiction or mental health disorder, develop coping skills, deal with anxiety, anger, and other emotions, build a support network, improve sleep, and assess the need for medications, if warranted. My goal is to help you find a path to a rewarding, fullfilling life.

Therapy is a special place to explore who you truly are and what makes you happy. If you are not feeling fulfilled, it is time to do something about that! Life is short and the capacity to look at how you deal with situations can require a special kind of honesty in order to make a real change. I would love the opportunity to work with you to help you make these important changes.
