I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for providing care to adults experiencing challenges related to grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety, depression, isolation, caregiver stress and complex trauma. I have experience working with mental health issues related to anxiety, bipolar, depression and OCD.

Is the trauma in your past making your present difficult? Are you having trouble connecting with your child? Have you adopted a child and find that simply providing a loving home does not seem to be enough? Call so that we can talk about your struggles with anxiety, depression, family relationships or history of being abused. I want to work with you to find hope and healing.

Now accepting clients. To empower individuals so that they may live a resilient, fulfilled life is my goal. I am passionate about helping others cope with day to day stressors and the anxieties of life. I am a strong proponent of the power that counseling can have on the individual. I believe that it can be life-changing, and that through individual and group counseling, an individual can learn the power of honesty, empathy and self-acceptance.

I seek to help uncover the underlying conflicts and often unconscious roots of psychological problems. I work with you to develop insight into what underlies your anxiety or depression and to make room for growth and change. When a problem, like ADHD, requires more "hands on" help, I can help tease out what can be treated through psychotherapy, and what might need more direct intervention and even coaching. I provide parenting support and couples counseling. I also provide psychological testing, including ADHD and AAP testing for school aged children.

Do you find yourself struggling to understand or help with your child or teen's emotions or behaviors? Do you sometimes feel like what you’re doing is not enough? Children and teens are developing at a rapid and different pace than adults are. They have different ways of understanding their own world, expressing and managing emotions, and interacting with others. While at times, guardians may feel stuck, the child or teen may feel the same way, yet struggle to process and understand how they’re feeling. Without proper coping tools, support, and warmth, they may find themselves struggling further. This is where I can help.

Clients who work with me learn to better understand their emotional triggers, work to overcome life’s setbacks, manage stress more productively, communicate with others more effectively, and set healthy boundaries. My approach involves getting to know each of my clients, beyond what has brought them into therapy. I seek to understand what your goals are for this journey, and we together discuss how I can support you in working on what can be changed, and learning to cope with people and situations that we cannot change.

Accepting new clients! I work with couples, individual adults, and adolescents 15+ who are experiencing individual, relational and communication challenges. Stressors I work with include work-life balance, family stress, communication issues, parental-teen conflict, anxiety, trauma, stress, bullying, grief, identity, & adjustment challenges. I work with you to build inner strength and awareness, to grow personally, and to thrive interpersonally. I help you better understand what's happened to you, how to identify your blind spots, and to manage your personal + professional challenges in a way that is helpful and rewarding.

Has your spouse come out as LGBT? Or are you married and living a closeted LGBT life? Either way, it's an extremely painful & challenging situation for everyone involved. Here's the good news -- I can help. I work with people every day who find themselves in mixed sexual orientation marriages and are navigating their new reality, both for themselves and their families. Having experienced this myself many years ago gives me a unique understanding of the issue, with compassion for both partners who find themselves in this difficult space. Whether you decide to make it work or go your separate ways, I can help you traverse the journey.

All my life I have been fascinated by peoples’ stories. It's been my privilege over more than forty years to hear the stories of my clients, as we meet together to understand their concerns and together develop treatment goals that will facilitate personal growth in their lives. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I see adults, both individuals and couples. Exploring family of origin dynamics and understanding the impact those dynamics may have on the client's presenting concerns allows a more thorough approach to treatment. My style is collaborative, empathic, practical, and interpersonal.

Life is full of challenges. As we navigate school, college, and career, strengthen our relationships with our families and friends, recover from setbacks, and articulate our dreams for ourselves, therapy can help us make sense of who we are and who we have the potential to become.

I'm a Clinical Psychologist with 15+ years of experience. I work in a collaborative manner allowing you to achieve goals that you set. Through therapy, we can work on changing longstanding counter-productive behavior patterns and reinforcing areas of strength. By doing this, you can have more rewarding relationships and a more fulfilling life. With your consent, I collaborate with other professionals involved in your care. I keep current on treatments for issues such as mood disorders, ADHD, and relationship issues. I encourage using physical activity and mindfulness to improve mental health. If interested, please talk to me about walking during your sessions.

My particular strengths are dealing with adults with depression, anxiety, panic or fears and relationship issues.

With more than 30 years as a therapist, I bring a depth of experience to help you deal with the conflicts of everyday life. Reaching out to receive help from a therapist is often a very difficult but very important first step. Sometimes, you experience problems that you do not feel you can handle alone. Therapy can help with these issues.

I have been an ADD/Life/Business Coach for 27 years. I am also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, who are challenged with the executive function deficits associated with ADHD. I utilize mindfulness and meditation, which can create neuroplasticity in the brain. Through this process, the Gifts associated with the creative mindset seen in those with ADHD, can finally be experienced and utilized! I am certified in EMDR, which I use to help my ADHD clients deal with the "Shame" associated with trauma that affected their life.
