Feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Perhaps you are feeling like there are not enough hours in the day? At times, you find yourself questioning your decision or have repeating thoughts? If you answered yes, to any of these questions I can help. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to supporting clients and helping them transition through difficult times of worry or stress by building resilience and using healthier coping skills as a way for positive change.

We all encounter many challenges in life. At times, these challenges can almost feel impossible to manage, or even unbearable. I have had the privilege of working with many people with a variety of challenges for the last ten years and take a modern and eclectic approach to helping others. I believe that we all have our own unique story with our own experiences and that investing in our growth and wellbeing should be a priority.

I provide a collaborative process of psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. In a safe atmosphere we work together to uncover the innate strength we all have to live a fulfilled life. This method includes conversation, inquiry and mindfulness based practices that enable self discovery. By freeing one's self from habitual ways of thinking and reacting, maturity and wisdom become accessible.

Life is complicated and over time we all develop habits and ways of thinking to get ourselves through it. Although these strategies may be helpful in the moment, sometimes they end up holding us back from happiness and stability in the long run. I view therapy as an opportunity for collaborative healing and growth, whether you’re looking for support and comfort during a difficult time, have never been to therapy before, or are feeling ready to say thank you and goodbye to what’s no longer working for you.

Welcome! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 10 years of counseling experience, dedicated to providing compassionate and effective care to everyone that I work with so that they may feel respected and understood. With a primary focus on Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Life Transitions I specialize in helping high school Juniors and Seniors, as well as college students, navigate the significant transition from adolescence to adulthood while understanding the unique challenges faced during this critical period of time.

It is OK to not feel OK! In fact, it makes absolute sense that you may be experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, irritability, and discontent as you try your best to navigate a world that can be chaotic to say the least! In my experience, sometimes just talking through these difficulties with a therapist can help to recalibrate our hard wiring as we work to find what is most effective for us to move forward. I applaud you in taking an enormous step in trusting the therapeutic process by saying "YES" to yourself. I am here as a means to help guide and navigate the journey in reaching your therapeutic goals.

I view therapy as a holistic and collaborative experience, where people can learn more about themselves and join a therapeutic alliance rooted in compassion, warmth and acceptance. I am passionate about providing individualized care that meets my clients where they are at in innovative and flexible ways, often weaving in their strengths and interests into session.

For the past 19 years, I have been a clinical therapist. My clientele covers the adolescent through the geriatric populations. I specialize in a range of affective and anxiety disorders, including Bipolar Disorder, panic attacks, agoraphobia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and anxiety due to medical conditions. I also work with substance abusers. I use an eclectic approach to therapy. One technique is insight-oriented in which I ask exploratory questions with the purpose of ferreting out what is behind one's problem.

I have been a clinician and educator for over twenty-five years and blend these methods in my clinical practice. My training encompasses a number of diverse content areas, such as clinical, developmental, family and substance-related issues, all of which helps enrich my understanding of the challenges that life can present. I believe that people have greater capabilities than they are aware of. My role is to collaborate with you, not tell offer advice, tell you what to do or how to live. I treat all of my clients with dignity and respect and seek active collaboration.

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to consider entering therapy. In my 20 years of experience, clients whom I have met have impressed me with their ability to establish achievable goals as they work toward improving their overall happiness and well being. Whether you are struggling with issues such as anxiety or depression, looking to improve relationships or consider major changes, coping with chronic medical conditions, feeling "stuck" at times, or caring for others who have multiple needs, I am here to help you navigate through these chapters in your life and establish a balance.

Couples/families: Attack/Defend sound familiar, feeling blamed, or blaming the other? Communication feeling hard, even impossible with your partner?

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples and families to support clients identifying and reaching their goals. Therapy can be an opportunity to acknowledge what is not working, learn tools, skills, and strategies to help you change your life and your relationships.

Castle Hill Counseling & Consulting, Inc. (CHCC) was founded in December of 2015. While drawing from my undergraduate education at Boston College, subsequent graduate program at Simmons College, and 20+ years of experience in the mental health and education field, I founded CHCC with the vision to deliver the highest quality service to children in the home, school environments, and to the larger systems supporting families through professional development, specialized trainings, and consultation. We have developed speciality areas of practice; including school refusal and avoidance, trauma, and educational program development.

Judy Garland said it best: "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else." I help clients with depression, anxiety, self esteem, "stuck-ness" and relationship issues; and specialized concerns with sexual and gender identity, illness & loss. I see every instance in our lives as an opportunity for evolution. I believe in the search for insight, but also developing practical tools for change. I believe in the value of a good laugh, but also keeping ourselves honest. I believe in the importance of hope and integrity, but also managing expectations & resentments so that we can flourish.

Now offering Teletherapy online video session for couples and marriage counseling. In a relaxed, professional but non-threatening environment, we can explore areas of your life in which you'd like to grow. As a Christian Counselor, the Bible is always the backdrop of the conversation. Nothing about human behavior shocks me. However, God is all about second chances and reconciliation and I love to be a part of the healing process. In addition to the traditional weekly counseling hour long session, I offer phone, and video sessions. I am now offering "marriage intensives" which is extensive hours of therapy over a weekend.

My practice, Rooted Life Therapy, is grounded in the belief that effective therapy is meant to help us bloom and thrive wherever our roots were planted. I work with both individuals and couples looking for growth and change in their lives. I have specific training and experience working with young adults in times of transition, identity formation, anxiety, grief & loss, depression, family planning, relational conflicts, and premarital preparation. I believe that therapy is meant to be a collaborative and empowering process of understanding one's self or relationship more deeply to create a life that is fulfilling and flourishes.

Relationships are a quintessential part of the human experience. While they can be a source of deep hurt and pain, they also can be a source of tremendous healing and enrichment that reinforce our sense of self and our sense of belonging. Sometimes in our relationships we feel stuck or trapped in the same recurring conflict. We lose sight of what we cherish and instead zoom in on what is missing. As disconnection grows, so do our emotional walls. We need to know in our relationships that our partners are there for us, that we can depend on and access our partners when in need. That we are valued and accepted flaws and all.
