"** Evening and Weekend Appointments Available** Psychotherapy is a powerful process. I apply a variety of approaches to help people understand themselves, their relationships with others, and their goals for the future. Perhaps the most important aspect of my approach is to understand your point of view and to integrate it to provide an effective intervention strategy. Life brings all kinds of challenges- depression, irritability, anxiety, and even physical symptoms are some of the ways that they can express themselves."

"Do you want to improve your life? Feeling anxious, depressed, stuck or discouraged? I am passionate about helping others to be able see their own strengths and potential in order to resolve whatever issue(s) they may be experiencing. I work with children, adolescents and adults experiencing difficulties associated with depression, anxiety, loss, self-esteem, ADHD, gender-related issues and identity, abuse, relationships, communication, career and work/life balance. When working with children and adolescents, I treat a range of emotional, social, educational and behavioral issues around transition and adjustment to challenges at home or school."

"Life is filled with crossroads-marriage, divorce, a new baby, an empty nest, a boomerang child. Even the most joyful ones can be challenging and at times we find we could use some support. In my practice I work to help you tap into the strengths that are within you and find your voice - your creativity, courage and compassion - so you can make healthy choices for yourself and your relationships. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families and consider it a privilege to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help you rediscover hope and work toward your goals."

"Want to change your life, but not sure about (or done with) conventional therapy? Want less introspection and more action? A holistic, non-pharmaceutical orientation? I combine coaching and therapeutic techniques to help clients solve problems by quickly figuring out what's keeping them from getting what they want out of life, "healing" the past, and changing limiting beliefs, troubling emotions, and unwanted behaviors. Clients (including therapists) describe me as "compassionate, knowledgeable, dedicated, perceptive, productive. . . " And while I don't take insurance, I work to make things affordable to anyone who thinks I might be the right practitioner for them."

"Persons seek therapy when they experience stress, conflict, or loss that cause unhappiness and reduce effectiveness. They are affected negatively by pressure and problems at work, family, and relationships. Individuals come into therapy with their own particular needs shaped by disappointments and failures in some aspect of living in their world. With my guidance, together we create a treatment program which addresses their specific concerns. My approach is interpersonal, supportive and direct. I focus on helping my clients obtain relief from emotional distress and develop strength and awareness to deal successfully with events that confront them day to day."

"Effective therapy is a journey in which people identify the reasons behind their choices, then are subsequently able to make adjustments that better their health and optimize their strengths. As a therapist I hope to walk along side you as you explore your purpose for being and doing. The concept that drives my approach to therapy is that "We are generally the better persuaded by the reasons we discover ourselves than by those given to us by others." ~Blaise Pascal. My primary areas of expertise include substance abuse and mental health counseling to adolescents, adults, and families."

"Life has a natural tendency to ebb and flow. There are times we feel calm, confident and settled, and times when happiness eludes us and we feel anxious, stressed and uncertain. Counseling begins at the intersection of where you are and where you'd like to be. I support my clients by providing perspective, problem solving ideas and motivation to move forward. This process is solution focused and helps to restore a sense of mental and emotional wellness. I work with clients to resolve anxiety and depression, reduce stress, improve relationships, rebuild after loss and navigate life transitions and change."

I specialize in treating individuals, couples, and groups struggling with addiction, compulsive behaviors, depression, trauma, and related issues. If you struggle with addiction, I use emotionally connective and psychodynamic therapy. If you are struggling with out-of-control, depression eating, or the dieting merry-go round, we can work together to improve your life. My treatment model combines a holistic approach that includes therapy, fitness training, and dietary counseling."
