My approach to counseling is to have a foundation of trust and unconditional positive regard while creating a safe environment. Many of my clients are looking to make changes in their lives in order to find peace, happiness, love within themselves, and their relationships. More often than not, my clients come to me because they have been feeling depressed, anxious, or struggling with self-esteem and are looking to change how they have been feeling and the quality of their lives. I offer a non-judgmental approach to getting to know my clients and helping them to determine their goals for improving the quality of their life.

This in-depth clarification allows for real-world treatment recommendations that can make a difference. Lengths are taken to minimize time in office. These include telephone and video interviews as well as electronically submitted forms and fact sheets.

The process of beginning therapy is so hard. In fact, getting started often keeps people stuck. I understand this and I strive to help with all stages of the therapy process. We will begin with a diagnostic evaluation that will allow you to share what has brought you into treatment, will allow me to collect all relevant information needed, and we will discuss the beginning stages of treatment. Then weekly or bi-weekly appointments will provide the support you need. You will find that I will check in with you, we will consistently assess progress, and we will shift the course of treatment as necessary to meet your needs

Stripped away of all the fancy language therapy is a process of growth and change. I have had the privilege of helping people grow and change for over 20 years. I’ve also had the benefit of doing this in a wide variety of roles from crisis intervention, to classroom teacher where I was given the honor of being named my district’s teacher of the year, to the last decade as a therapist. I’ve learned that the recipe for change is different for each individual and a large part of that is finding the right combination of motivators, techniques, and support systems to help people achieve their goals.

My learning experiences through client interactions are what have helped to shape my whole person approach.
One of my passions as a therapist is to help shape everyone's understanding of the value of mental health treatment whether it is for yourself or your child(ren). Redefining "treatment" as a preventive exercise for yourself to unlearn old patterns and create new paths to feel great is my goal. Shame and stigma need to removed from our society's view of therapy and that is one standard I aim high for in my work. Prepare to laugh and have fun too. Therapy can be hard at times but it should bring out the best in us!

Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists
How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
