I specialize in using cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) techniques that have been shown by research to be effective for specific disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, panic, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, selective mutism, separation anxiety disorder, oppositional-defiant disorder, tics and depression. I treat adults, teens and children. I am active, directive, and involved in working with you to get you rapid relief from suffering. Treatment starts with a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. Make sure you get the exact kind of treatment that has been shown by scientific research to be effective for the condition from which you are suffering. You deserve that.

I specialize in children, adolescents, and adult women.
*New clients, please use email for fastest reply.* Therapy should begin with establishing a trusting and therapeutic relationship, in a relaxing environment, where clients of all ages will feel comfortable, safe & understood (my dog Taffy is my 'co-therapist'!). Although everyone struggles at times during our lives, most of us still reeling from the past few years alone. I believe ALL people have hidden strengths (yes, you too!) that they can use and build upon, while also learning how their past history may still effect their thoughts, actions, and self esteem. Therapy is about insight, encouragement, support, and progress.

My approach with clients recognizes that most people are looking for tangible help, don't have a lot of time between work and family, and want to feel like they are moving toward a better understanding of solutions to address their difficulties. My work with clients acknowledges these issues. I take a very active role in counseling to explore the options with my clients, provide new knowlege of issues where relevant, and help an individual to reach their potential. Issues related to marital/partner, parenting/child, family,work,school,stress, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse are all areas I work with.
