Feeling stuck? In pain? People typically seek counseling because they are stuck in repetitive negative cycles and want help getting unstuck. These patterns often include issues with anxiety, depression, problems managing "big feelings" and/or issues with relationships. They can have their roots in trauma and neglect. I have significant experience working with teenagers, adults, and couples. I work primarily from an emotion focused, relational perspective to help people get "unstuck" from these negative cycles and create more positive ones. I am a trauma informed therapist.

I am a Master's level clinician with over 35 years experience in the mental health field, working with children, adolescents, and adults.
As a therapist, I believe that I am in a unique position to facilitate healing, promote personal growth and esteem, and teach effective "life skills". I encourage my client to discover and build upon their strengths, which empowers them to move forward to lead constructive and satisfying lives. I recognize that making the decision to come to therapy, whether it be in an crisis, or to address long standing concerns, can be difficult. The environment I provide for my clients conveys an attitude of respect that not only reflects that awareness but also facilitates the development of trust.

Couples Counseling with a therapist who “gets it” is often just what is needed for a relationship that is struggling, in conflict, on its last legs, or when it is going through transition. Sometimes relationships are in crisis due to infidelity or the discovery of pornography use. Couples counseling is proven to be very helpful in these situations, resolving relationship conflicts such as sexual problems, financial conflict, disagreements over parenting issues, or communication problems among other issues that arise in relationships.

Symptoms may include nightmares, flashbacks, insomnia, anger, unwanted memories of the trauma, avoidance of situations that bring back memories of the trauma, heightened reactions, anxiety, or depressed mood. After 6 months of symptoms the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may apply.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, GBLT, couples, and blended families that often blend like oil and water.
I used to teach at a Junior High School, and found that my classroom would be filled at the end of the day with students who had issues they wanted to talk to me about. So I became a therapist.

When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviors change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).
What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way
What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
