My role as a therapist is to provide a safe space where we can develop a deep and trusting relationship to navigate challenging times and facilitate healing. Most people begin this work due to suffering brought on by difficult emotions, troublesome relationships, overwhelming experiences or loss of a loved one. I aim to clearly understand and personalize our work to meet your unique situation and needs. Our work together is about finding the relief, healing and harmony you are seeking.

I believe that through a supportive partnership, people are empowered to make lasting behavior changes. I will partner with you to clearly visualize your personal values, goals and strengths in order to achieve balance with mind, body and spirit. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience.

My 50 years of experience in the behavioral change and personal growth and potential field has afforded many experiences in many facilities, currently a private practice setting. My therapeutic approach is multifaceted, focused on solutions. Psychophysiology is another area of emphasis for me and I address this with Biofeedback, Neurofeedback and Passive Infrared Hemoencephalogrophy, procedures effective for anxiety, stress mangaement, chronic pain, ADD, and optimal performance.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I use a client-centered approach to work with older adolescents and adults dealing with issues of trauma and abuse, divorce, aging, life transitions, mood disorders including depression, and anxiety. With over 25 years of experience in providing mental health services in both public and private settings, I have a depth of training and expertise to help you deal with issues that are creating obstacles to living the life you want to live. My practice is associated with Daniel Balog, MD, psychiatrist, who is available as needed to provide psychiatric services.

You may be considering marriage counseling, or help for yourself or other relationships. You may be feeling frustrated with your child or teen, extended family, or coworkers. Perhaps you are transitioning: marriage, parenthood, or pre/post deployment, divorce or remarriage. You may be noticing relationship effects of recent or past traumatic stress or grieving a loss. Many people find themselves affected by medical issues for themselves or close relatives. Healthy relationships start with self-understanding, enabling you to know yourself so that you can hear and be heard in relationships with others who are important in your life.

Change only happens when we get outside of our comfort zone. Maybe you're a parent looking for someone to help your child regulate their emotions. Maybe you're an adult looking for someone to hear your story and offer a safe place to resolve internal conflicts to move forward. Maybe you're a couple or family who wants to know better ways to communicate and feel connected once again.

How would you like your life to be different? Discovering that answer is oftentimes a challenge requiring clarity, patience, and humility. These are the requirements to orchestrate the life that is desired. The decision to join in a therapeutic relationship takes courage. I find it a great privilege to meet you where you are and walk along side you as you find or recreate your path. I am honored to accompany you on that journey!

My approach to therapy is to help you identify what you would like to change and the stressors you are currently facing. I have over 20 years experience working with adult, adolescent, and child clients and have developed methods which allow you to release unwanted feelings and find new perspectives and increased energy, often in just a few sessions. I have worked extensively with trauma victims, including PTSD. I also offer you the opportunity to do what I believe is the deepest therapy available, Inner Child Work, which addresses the root causes of most adult distress.

We all deserve to live a happy, productive life -- to have a little fun every now and then. While life can't always be fun, with the right coping mechanisms and cognitive tools, we can address even the toughest times with positivity and confidence. It is my goal to teach my clients how to live their most positive lives, no matter what the circumstance or issue: marriage and family problems, anxiety, depression, ADD and ADHD (children and adults), blended family matters, sexual issues, PTSD, and military-family dynamics.

Struggling with anxiety, stress, sleep? Come see me because I can help you, typically in a few sessions. I am the eternal optimist.

Active duty military and their dependents are a very important part of my practice. Specialties include job-related issues, grief, separation/divorce, school issues, and working with clients of all ages from retirees to as young as age 3. Approaches include CBT, Audio-Visual Entrainment, and biofeedback. All insurances and most EAPs welcome.

With an integrative counseling model, I help clients align mind, body, and spirit for healing, especially when doctors can't find causes for physical pain or traumatic experience. Together we find your unique healing path using a variety of approaches that relax, empower you in self-care, increase tolerance towards stress and change, which everyone encounters in this society. Clients have reported regaining their inner and higher loving guidance with more purposeful direction in life. Support groups (cancer & healthcare professional), stress reduction classes, and weekly Saturday Mindfulness practice group also available.

Would you like to improve your relationship with your child/adolescent, partner/spouse, family, or yourself? Are you feeling stuck? Has a painful event left you or your family feeling overwhelmed?

As a Board Certified Neuropsychologist and Clinical Psychologist I provide both evaluation and treatment services across the lifespan. Typical referrals for assessment are learning disorders, autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injury, PTSD, neurologic diseases and disorders, memory problems, and post-concussion. Typical referrals for treatment/psychotherapy are anxiety, post-trauma, depression, loss-grief, behavioral challenges, family communication issues, stress and adjustment problems, and sport-performance issues.

Are you afraid of change? Be kind to yourself. Seek help. Take time for you. You have the answers deep within you. Hiding from pain will only worsen the symptoms, behaviors and relationships. I believe each person has the ability to be their own healer. I see treatment as an opportunity for clients to remove the fear in their life and gain peace, happiness and self-confidence. My ultimate goal is to provide a genuine and safe environment.Through mistakes and failure, we can become resilient. I am honored to provide guidance in this vital journey.

I am eclectic in my therapy approach collaborating with each client to achieve their goals. Generally I emphasize cognitive and behavioral techniques combined with sufficient psychodynamic understanding of our personality functioning. I work with alternative techniques, including hypnosis. I am known for my optimistic energy and engaging, nurturing style. I look into each client to see excitement rather than anxiety, adventure rather than apprehension, vitality rather than drudgery, empowerment rather that loss of control, courage and strength rather than pain. I advocate trying something new, breaking the old patterns that continue to produce the unwanted consequences.

I specialize in assisting individuals with anxiety disorders, PTSD, substance abuse, and the LGBT population in embracing healthy lifestyles that are personally congruent.
