Experiencing sadness, or feelings of emptiness or hopelessness? Having increased irritability or frustrations over small matters? Troubles with sleep (insomnia or sleeping too much), or experiencing a loss of interest in things that once brought you joy? These are all symptoms of depression or anxiety. Life has become more busy, and we feel pulled in so many directions. We wear different hats: spouse, parent, employee, loved one, and they all bring different pressures with them. Finding comfort and peace is important to being a better self!

The team at A New Direction understands that individuals come to a point in their lives when change is needed. We are here to offer the support, resources and skills to accommodate a healthy lifestyle while working on "the self" to incorporate needed changes that lead to a productive life. We specialize in mental health, addiction and trauma related issues. We have a variety of modalities to reach each person where he/she is now, allowing an individualized approach to recovery and/or wellness.

Finding ways of coping with this uncertainty and change is a challenge, particularly right now. Let's work together to find healthy ways of navigating change and the uncomfortable feelings associated with these times. My therapeutic training and experience have centered around adults and older adults dealing with depression, anxiety, chronic health conditions, problems associated with aging, life transitions, and grief and loss.

I believe that with the right motivation and support all people can find their path to healing. I enjoy treating a variety of individuals who need support when overcoming issues in life. I can help you learn to manage anxiety, depression and stress as well as treat more serious issues including PTSD, developmental trauma, addiction, psychotic disorders, and mood disorders.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 37 years’ experience. I am highly skilled in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, EMDR, Transpersonal Therapy, Guided Imagery, Gestalt Therapy and Existential Psychotherapy. My unique ability to bridge the traditional scientific healing model with alternative methods allows me to synthesize multiple methodologies in my approach for each client. I provide them with portable tools and methods to support their goals. The choice of a therapist to partner with you on your healing journey is a very personal decision. Strict confidentiality is assured.

My eclectic background has offered me the opportunity to work and live with individuals and family systems inclusive of all abilities and ages (people of all abilities, sudden/chronic illnesses, grief and loss, trauma). I work with people who experience anxiety, depression, grief, negative self-talk such as “I am powerless”, “I am worthless”, “I am unlovable”, and other intrusive repetitive thoughts. My individual sessions and group classes allow you to find stability during the highs and lows of daily life, with your family of choice and your community. I believe in living a balanced life that honors mind, body and spirit.
