I provide a multi-specialty practice applying evidence-based principles to problems ranging from anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties, to trauma, sleep health, and substance abuse, among others.

The philosophy that guides my approach as a clinical psychologist is the unwavering belief that people have limitless potential to heal and grow. My hope for those with whom I work is increased self-awareness, enriched relationships, deeper emotional engagement, and healthier, more flexible functioning. My goals in providing therapy are to help people understand themselves and their concerns more fully and to facilitate the development of new skills for coping with what's troubling them.

In counseling and consulting with teens, parents, and families I have extensive training in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) coping skills, anxiety, depression, trauma, mindfulness, grief, and substance use disorders.
It takes courage to enter into therapy and explore the challenges that bring you to Windhorse Counseling. The sessions are your time to reflect, learn and practice skills, discuss issues, and problem solve. You may never have experienced therapy or you have tried to find a “goodness of fit” with a clinician and it hasn’t worked as you’ve hoped. I had the good fortune to hold the role of a local high school clinical social worker (now retired) for more than 30 years. It is truly special to work individually and in groups with teens, parents/caregivers and participate in their growth and development of self and skills.

A former film industry professional, I was drawn to counseling in order to fulfill a passion for helping teens and young adults discover who they want to be in the world. I bring authenticity, warmth, and humor to every session. My relational approach to counseling rests on the notion that no matter how uphill, twisty, or dark a path may be, walking it with someone is always easier than walking it alone. With deep clinical experience in both hospital and academic settings, my work primarily focuses on trauma, depression and anxiety, and issues within the LGBTQIA+ community.

Depression Therapists
What is the goal of therapy for depression?
Therapy for depression has several major goals. One is to relieve the mental pain of depression, which distorts feeling and thinking so that sufferers cannot see beyond their current state of mind or envision feeling better. Another is to give people the mental tools to recognize and correct the kinds of distorted thinking that turn a problem into a catastrophe and lead to despair. Therapy also teaches people how to process negative emotions in constructive ways, so they have more control over their own emotional reactivity. And it helps people regain the ability to see themselves positively, the motivation to do things, and the capacity for pleasure.
What happens in therapy for depression?
Perhaps most important, no matter the type of therapy, patients form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Patients learn to identify and to challenge their own erroneous beliefs and thoughts that amplify the effects of negative experiences. They learn to identify situations in which they are especially vulnerable. And they learn new patterns of thinking and behaving. They may be given “homework” assignments in which they practice their developing skills. In addition, good therapists regularly monitor patients to assess whether and how much the condition is improving.
What therapy types help with depression?
Several types of short-term therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients challenge their negative thoughts and beliefs, learn new behavioral strategies, and curb reactivity to distressing situations. Behavioral activation (BA) is a form of therapy often used in conjunction with CBT; it focuses on engagement in rewarding activity as a pathway to changing negative feelings and disturbed mood. Another widely used approach is interpersonal therapy (IPT), which targets the social difficulties that both give rise to and get exacerbated by depression. Therapists may combine approaches as needed.
Can therapy for depression be done online?
Studies have found that online therapy can be highly effective for treating depression, although it may be more challenging to build a good therapist-patient alliance on screen than in person—at least at first. However, online therapy can offer considerable advantages. Accessibility and convenience are tops among them. Some people actually find it easier to talk about problems online than in person. While online therapy typically limits visibility of facial expression and body gestures that give important nonverbal cues to a patient’s state of mind, it can give therapists a glimpse into a patient’s world and life, providing information that can be highly useful in guiding therapy.
How effective is therapy for depression?
Many studies show that therapy is highly effective provided that patients complete the prescribed course of therapy, commonly 16 to 20 sessions. Over the long term, it is more effective than medication and the effects are more enduring. As a result, psychotherapy has the power not just to relieve current suffering but to prevent future episodes of the disorder. Therapy reverses the dysfunction in neural circuitry that disposes individuals to a negative view of themselves, the world, and their future and they acquire coping techniques, problem-solving skills, and understanding of their own vulnerabilities that are useful over the course of a lifetime.
