I have been engaged in the practice of psychotherapy for over 25 years. I enjoy working with older children/preteens, teenagers, and adults, and the challenges each of these unique age groups present. As a parent myself, I can appreciate and empathize with the stress that can go along with this family role, as well as its joys. In my sessions I strive to ensure that those individuals I'm working with feel respected, valued, and truly heard, regardless of age. And I invite feedback during our work to assure this is occurring.

I strive to actively listen to the concerns and needs of people seeking help for their situation. It is through the act of listening that I can learn the dynamics that each person is working through. Helping an individual overcome and work through those dynamics is what I try to do each session. This also includes helping someone create better direction for themselves by creating realistic goals within a practical timeline. I approach their situation with common sense and empathy to help guide them towards their stated goals.

Do you often feel stuck in your head, replaying the same situations over and over? Do you have the sense that one foot is still stuck in the past? Trauma and difficult life experiences can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, numb, or cut off from life. Even positive moments can be filtered through old, negative beliefs, leaving you doubting their reality. Trauma shows up not just in thoughts and feelings but in the body and nervous system—shifts in arousal, chronic tension, or shutdown that make it hard to connect with others or to feel safe in yourself.

Have you tried therapy before but felt that talking in a stale office didn't feel quite right? Have you felt like talk therapy helped a little, but didn't get you as far as you were hoping? Or maybe you feel nervous about even starting therapy when you envision sitting across from someone else and sharing your fears and worries? Perhaps it's time to try something a little less traditional!

Bipolar Disorder Therapists
What is the most successful approach to treating bipolar disorder?
Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and a number of therapies have been found effective in providing support to patients as they gain the skills to understand and manage the disorder. Family-focused therapy is often helpful for children and teens (the majority of cases develop before age 19); it aims to minimize mood cycling by improving family communication and reducing conflict. It also helps young people navigate the developmental challenges the disorder can create. Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) and variants such as Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)help patients manage the thoughts and feelings that influence bipolar mood swings as well as develop specific behavioral strategies to counteract them.
What happens in therapy for bipolar disorder?
Because the patterns of mood switching and its triggers differ for each person and can change over time, mood tracking or monitoring becomes a basic way patients learn about the nature of their condition. One of the most common features of therapy is finding a workable method of mood monitoring, in which patients track their daily activities and rate their moods, then use the findings to adjust routines accordingly. Patients learn ways of handling the many stresses that arise in life so that they do not trigger mood swings.
What kinds of problems does therapy help with?
Like many other mental health disorders, BPD is heavily influenced by stress; therapy provides skills for coping with stressors of all kinds. Therapy is extremely important for helping individuals identify the situations that may trigger mood switching, so that mood swings can be prevented. Therapy may especially target recognition of the early stages of mood change so that they can be managed. In addition, therapy helps patients deal with the significant amount of turbulence the disorder can create in relationships and in work life.
What is the goal of therapy for bipolar disorder?
Therapy helps patients set up their lives to maintain stability so that their mood isn’t constantly threatened by daily events. Perhaps the first task of therapy is to educate people about the nature of the disorder. At the same time, a primary goal of therapy is to enhance adherence to drug treatment. Extended periods of mood stability can prompt patients to discontinue medication, triggering relapse, while the early phases of manic episodes can feel so energizing that patients stop medication, ushering in full-blown mania and the altered self-perception that can lead to destructive behaviors. Another major goal of therapy is to understand one’s mood patterns so as to minimize both the frequency and intensity of mood cycling.
