Anxiety and depression rob us of moments in life, stress our relationships, and hold us hostage in time. Haunting memories from the past stir us to run, fight, or shut down whenever we are reminded. The demands of life barrel on as we struggle to find a window to rest and to heal. The great news is, there is hope. Hope to better understand the parts of us that are healthy and those parts that are hurting. And hope that by working together we can strengthen your relationship with yourself and lighten your load. Let’s unburden, learn to cut anxiety off before it builds or shut it down when it does, lift the fog of depression,

I just retired from the Wellstar hospital system, where I had been working for 20 years, mostly as a behavioral health and clinician. I ran groups and provided assessment and individual brief therapy on their inpatient unit or but within Path, I am looking forward to doing rational emotive behavioral therapy or REBT. This will provide quicker progress. I have been pretty successful working on addiction, depression, and OCD. I feel comfortable working with severe psychiatric disorders as well. But I know that's not what this forum is all about.

I was initially trained in addiction counseling for adolescents, thus I'm more verbal than alot of therapists. I believe that most personal growth is done outside the session with homework assignments, active behavioral changes, and challenging irrational self-talk.

As an experienced, licensed counselor, I understand what steps are needed to make real healing possible. Just like the physical body, healing for the mind and spirit requires time and it is important to know at the onset that the counseling process will be a journey, rather than a sprint. I provide my clients with a safe, non-judgmental space in which to share their story, helping them take their first steps on the path to lasting health. As a trauma-informed, source-focused counselor, I prioritize addressing the root source of a problem rather than its symptoms.

Life can be just the worst. We can deal with crippling depression, paralyzing anxiety, or destructive anger. We can experience symptoms that are very much a part of us, like with ADHD, that can get in the way of our day to day. On the flip side life can also be fulfilling, humorous, and joyful. Not without it's sufferings life can be something meaning filled.

Sometimes life is just hard, you are going along, and everything is fine, when, suddenly, wham!...everything changes, and leaves you asking, "now what?" You were taught how to do Algebra, but not how to deal with the situation you find yourself in. For me, therapy is about finding the right tools for you so that you can, in the healthiest way possible, thrive in the hardest times. I want you to know that you are amazing, and infinitely capable, and that sometimes you just need a little bit of help learning how to deal with life's curve balls.

Just as taking the time to care for your physical health is important, so is caring for your mental health. Whether you are struggling with life changes and transitions, depression or anxiety, relationship conflicts or being overwhelmed with life - counseling can provide a space to leave negative emotions behind and move towards a more fulfilled life. I strive to create a space of healing and growth.

I enjoy working with people who believe they are at their breaking point and don't know what else to do. Whether it be "mid-life crisis", going off to college, school and work demands, relationship issues, struggles with parenting, stress, depression, anxiety or ADD. Do you look in the mirror and not recognize yourself? Does your teen appear to be struggling? Do you often wonder if there is something more? Have your friends or family told you that counseling might help you? If you are wondering if you would benefit from counseling then you would benefit from counseling. Life doesn't have to be this hard for you or someone you love.
