Your symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger are your body's way of telling you something's not right! As a child, you may have experienced some sort of failure in your relationships or environment. As a child you compensate for these traumas by creating strategies for survival. Maybe you are a perfectionist, or maybe you find that you give more than you receive, or perhaps you just feel disconnected from yourself and everyone around you? The pain you are experiencing is real, and coping with it just isn't working anymore.

In my view, therapy is all about developing a healthy relationship with yourself and therefore with others. It includes having a healthy connection with your therapist. For over 20 years I have made it my mission to help people who struggle with the things that hold them back from living happy, valuable, and productive lives. In addition to the treatment of addiction & co-occurring mood disorders, my practice includes the particular challenges of the divorced single parent, as well as addressing individual dilemmas in the workplace. I am recognized for my understanding of treatment options & I gladly serve as a resource.

Are you trying to make changes in yourself, your work, your education, or your relationships? Maybe the problem is clear but the solution feels out of reach. Or maybe it’s not quite clear what is out of kilter, but you or they sense change is necessary. Even if there is no owner's manual for change, my life experience as a parent/grandparent, and my varied professional background in mental health, public policy, and academia have convinced me that change can be an enriching part of life. Psychotherapy is a place to explore change openly.

My main concern is for my clients to feel comfortable in a relaxed and non-judgemental environment. I have over 25 years of experience working with clients (Teens/Adults). I have worked mainly in medical and school settings. After a loss, difficult life event or devastating medical diagnosis, there needs to be a time of healing. You may feel anxious and having difficulty functioning at work or school. You may notice people around you may not understand what you are experiencing. This can be a scary time and you may feel psychologically alone. You may want someone who understands to guide you through this difficult journey.

I help people work through stuck patterns of interaction within themselves and their relationships to realize their desire for personal and relationship growth. Specifically I help couples, women shifting roles, struggling parents, and young adults transitioning from dependence to independence. Although this group may seem eclectic, they all have one thing in common; their ability to work through problems by learning to rely on inherent strength and self-knowledge. Drawing on my clients' unique strength, I guide them down their path to personal growth and connection, which affects not only them, but also everyone with whom they share their life.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, relationship problems or a sense of dread about your future? Are painful traumatic experiences from the past continuing to trigger and trouble you? People often feel very alone with their problems. Feelings of shame, hopelessness, and fears of being judged, or that no one will truly understand, can keep people from getting the help they need. Through our work together, you will learn practical skills that calm those intense triggers, diminish the harsh negative self-talk, and conquer those self-defeating thoughts and behaviors.
