If depression, anxiety, anger or low self-esteem, interfere with living the life you imagine I will collaborate with you to find your strengths and use those strengths to create confidence to attain your goals. If you are struggling with sexual orientation or gender identity I offer a safe, welcoming environment in which to explore your truth. Even if you haven't had success with therapy in the past, don't give up. You need to find a therapist who is easy to work with and can match the right treatment to your specific needs.
I also specialize in working through past trauma and changing old patterns. Although my primary orientation is cognitive behavioral therapy, I tailor my sessions to each individual. This means I employ various techniques from gestalt, psychodynamic, reality therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
My practice focuses on working with adults. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a National Certified Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am a network provider for most insurances and my office accepts credit cards and FSA Debit Cards. Note new location: Now in Cumberland
