Hello! Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you're not alone.

The most therapeutic element in psychotherapy is the relationship between us. You invite me into your interior self which is a special, even sacred, place hiring me as a guide during this phase of your life's journey. Ultimately, our goal is to do things better by initiating new ways of being or putting aside some of the old. Therapy is not escape; it is not blame. It is about better facing the challenges of life, helping ourselves find our way through where we now are, and sometimes it's also about finding our way back to ourselves.

We all hit rough patches in life, and sometimes experience difficulty after difficulty that can cause us to lose our sense of well-being, direction and purpose. If you're struggling with narcissistic abuse, anxiety, trauma, depression, or relationship issues, you don't have to suffer alone. The therapeutic journey is about discovering and rediscovering your resilient self so you can go on to live a life that brings you pleasure, harmony, and the skills to cope with life's unknowns.

Do you find yourself wondering “How did I get here?” Life has a way of taking some unexpected (and unwanted) twists and turns that can leave you feeling confused and overwhelmed. You may experience this as anxiety, depression or isolation. Feeling stuck in the past or anxious about the future can impact your mood, your behavior, and your capacity for happiness. “Where do I go from here?” is a powerful question that can open doors to self-awareness and greater happiness. As a trained professional, I can help you explore that question.

Therapy is a process, but it doesn't have to be scary or stigmatizing. We all need help sometimes, whether you have experienced tremendous loss and trauma, or are simply feeling unhappy and stuck in your head. It is easy to feel lost and alone, or to worry that we are never doing or being enough.

Trauma in varying degrees is a part of everyone's lives that often goes unrecognized, or the experience gets buried deep down consciously or unconsciously, with the hope that it doesn't resurface. We often feel we have done a good job of supressing until we find unhealthy coping behavior, and responses repeating themselves, keeping one stuck until acknowledged and addressed. My goal is to help promote world peace by helping one heart at a time to develop inner peace despite what ever is going on now or in the past.

Do you find that you struggle with more than expected feelings of anxiety or depression, anger, grief & loss, substance use, troubled relationships, or other mental health issues? Mr. Rogers (from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood) often said, "When I was a boy, and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'" I have often sought and found helpers throughout my life who have pointed the way or simply sat with me and listened.

Are you having relationship issues? Are you newly engaged or married? In a long-term relationship that is less than satisfying? I am passionate about helping couples have more satisfying relationships and I believe most couples just need the right tools to improve communication, get their needs met, and feel closer to each other. I have specialized training from The Gottman Institute and provide ways to improve your relationship in straightforward and doable steps. In addition to my experience working with couples I have been married for 31 years, which informs my ability to be non-judgmental and open to many different perspectives.

Dr. Plunkett is a pediatric neuropsychologist providing evaluation, consultation, and behavioral therapy. There are many reasons why children are referred for neuropsychological evaluation. Children suspected of having a developmental disorder (e.g., intellectual disability, ADHD, or learning disability) often require evaluation. Children diagnosed with a medical disorder (e.g., epilepsy) or who sustained a head injury may require evaluation for treatment planning. At times children are also referred because they are struggling for unclear reasons and an evaluation is needed to clarify what may be contributing to their presentation.

Choosing to see a therapist can be the first step towards a happier, more fulfilling life. Do you find yourself struggling to create healthy relationships, feeling overwhelmed by life's pressures, or yearning to achieve a peaceful state of mind? Perhaps you feel weighted down by troubling past experiences that have created self-defeating patterns, and worry that you won't be able to break the cycle. With my help, you can overcome obstacles to healthy relationships, increase your ability to manage stress, free yourself from past burdens, and feel more in control of your own life's journey.
