*TELETHERAPY&IN PERSON* As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I provide mental health and substance abuse outpatient services helping individuals relieve pain, address struggles and improve various aspects of life. My goal is to help increase self-awareness, facilitate growth and provide tools for better coping, functioning and problem resolution. I want my clients to lead more meaningful and productive lives and have an increased level of functioning. I am known to be supportive, direct, genuine, empathic and solution focused. The therapy modalities I use are all evidence-based and are often integrated and individualized.

When is it time to seek counseling? Well, for each person it is different. This is because everyone has their own breaking point - a point where stress or trauma becomes so overwhelming that it becomes harder to engage in normal everyday activities. If your stress is interfering with your sleep, parenting, or work then it is probably a good time to get assistance to work through the issues. I offer a safe and confidential environment to address these issues and find practical solutions in order for you to gain emotional relief.

I offer psychotherapy and psychological testing for teenagers and adults. Adults seek help for ADHD, anxiety or mood disorders. I help them find meaning, purpose, and joy as they function more fully at home and work. Also, I work with teenagers who underachieve and present behavior challenges, mood disorders and various types of anxiety. When working with teens, I also work closely with parents to help them learn how to encourage their kid's growth toward autonomy and self-direction. It is a joy to encounter parents and teenagers as they learn to cooperate, rather than to struggle against each other.

My approach is supportive, honest, realistic, and understanding.
