Do you want to feel better? Do you want to feel more in control of your life? I see clients through teleterapy and in-person. I will help you find the solutions you need to feel in charge of your life. I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds for the past twenty three years. I am confident that I can help you if you are willing to take the steps necessary to change your life. The first step is to have the courage to reach out for help when you need it. I will provide the professional care that you need in a safe, caring, and comforting environment.

As a psychologist I specialize in helping clients when life is difficult. I work with a wide age range from children to older adults. Whether it's Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, relationship conflicts or family problems, work/school issues, confidence issues, or drug/alcohol problems, etc., I will assist you to make positive changes and help you to take control over the things you can. When you start to see the benefits, you will feel empowered to keep moving forward.

Many of us, from time to time, find that depression, anxiety or stress can cause us to get "stuck", where negative thoughts and unhelpful behavior patterns keep us from meeting the goals we wish to achieve, or enjoying our relationships to the fullest degree possible. I can help you move beyond those "stuck points", and to identify the obstacles and challenges in your way. I will help empower you to achieve your personal goals for a healthy, successful life. Together we will work to create a unique and specific plan, where you will develop new, positive patterns of thinking and behavior.

Finding a therapist can be an overwhelming task. Life can be full of complexities that can be difficult to navigate. Considering that you may be feeling sad or overwhelmed, I commend you for taking the brave first steps towards taking care of yourself. I believe in the value and worth of the person and that we all possess strengths to help us in the journey of life. If you have been feeling stuck, we can work together to uncover what is holding you back and help you to develop the tools that will move you forward.

During my career as a therapist, I have gained the expertise in joining a person "where they are at" while developing an environment of safety, security and mutual respect. I have been told that my voice and manner quickly communicates friendliness and kindness, and that people overall, find that I am not at all intimidating and very easy to talk to. I provide an integrative supportive approach that allows for healing and growth. I combine Motivational Enhancement with Cognitive Behavioral interventions to assist in identifying the unique qualities and strengths of each person I work with to evoke change and emotional wellness.

My role as a counselor is to help clients process their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, assist them in developing effective coping strategies, and help to formulate clear, achievable goals to create positive, sustainable change in their lives. Counseling is a collaborative effort and I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to achieving successful outcomes. In our work together, I will utilize various therapeutic interventions and knowledge in an effort to help all clients identify patterns, triggers, and behaviors that may be contributing to feelings of distress or discontent.

How did you end up here? Are you struggling with relationship problems, school, finances, anxiety, depression, or all of the above? Perhaps you've developed addictive ways to cope with problems, and you want a better solution. Fortunately, research suggests that therapy/counseling with a professional works! Clients achieve ultimate happiness when they change how they think, feel and behave. When you change yourself, you will find that your relationships, mood, and overall life circumstances dramatically improve!

Don't settle for a generic drug and alcohol therapist. You deserve help that actually helps you feel happy again. (And, that's in-network with your insurance).
