I have extensive experience providing specialized counseling services to individuals or families who are experiencing depression, anxiety, sexual trauma, intimacy and women's health issues, relationship and parenting challenges, anger management, mild traumatic brain injury, and adolescents who have been diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, and Conduct Disorder.
ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS via Telehealth! I enjoy working with clients as they gain insight into their struggles so they can identify healthy tools to overcome those struggles. My clients will encounter a non-judgmental and caring environment that promotes growth, healing and empowerment. Because everyone comes to therapy with unique challenges and values, I use an individualized approach to meet clients' specific needs, incorporating research-based strategies that draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction approach.

I specialize in residential treatment and boarding options when traditional treatment and family support have not been enough. As a therapeutic educational consultant and placement specialist, I spend a significant amount of time visiting and assessing programs and schools. These include short term intensive programs, therapeutic boarding schools, adventure therapy programs and young adult college & transition programs. I welcome complicated cases that have not responded to the best of outpatient treatment strategies.

I can understand and relate to the hesitation with finding a therapist and starting therapy. My philosophy is that everyone at sometime in their life could benefit from therapy. I encourage an open, warm, and non-judgmental environment. I want you to be comfortable coming to session and taking the journey of healing and well-being together. I have a variety of experience working with different populations. I have been in the human service field for about 16 years. I have worked with children and families, adults with mental illness/co-occurring disorders, and court ordered treatment.

Life presents all of us with challenges and difficulties. Some are obvious, some less so. Sometimes we only know that we're struggling without being able to put our finger on why that is. I don't believe you need all the answers to start your journey to overcome the obstacles that you face. The starting point is the desire to improve your relationships, family, and career. Therapy provides a supportive environment where you can learn to cope with existing distress and learn to address the needs that will help increase the quality of your life and relationships.

These days, it's understandable to have difficulties with isolation, and having "nothing to do." But are those "difficulties" interfering with your ability to function? Is it preventing you from working as efficiently as you normally do? Have you had difficulty getting or staying motivated? Are you having an issue concentrating or focusing on a task? Parents, are you struggling to keep up with your child's educational performance while managing your own job? Are you having trouble in other areas of life (e.g., substance use, incarceration)? Are you angry/irritable? If you answered yes to any of the above, I can help.

Each of us holds the power to choose the manner in which we give meaning to our life circumstances and experiences. Earlier automatic and unconscious patterns often get in the way of moving forward in an empowering and liberating way. Identifying these patterns, learning the practice of self-reflection and gaining self-awareness is the foundation of personal growth and transformation. In addition, focusing on the present moment, the practice of mindfulness, learning to trust the inner voice and emotional responsiveness leads each client to a more conscious place of being. Moving forward with conscious choice and courage is the key.

Are you feeling like you’re not enough, no matter how hard you try? Do you constantly second-guess yourself or feel like you’re stuck in the same patterns, unable to break free? You might be struggling with feelings of anxiety or depression, or perhaps you’re carrying the weight of past experiences that are making it hard to move forward. Maybe you’ve noticed that what happened in your childhood is still showing up in your life today—in your relationships, your self-esteem, or the way you cope with stress. You try to push through, but not matter how much you accomplish, it doesn't change how you feel about yourself on the inside.

I am currently only accepting new patients for testing, not therapy. An important aspect of my practice is creating a space that allows us to explore the obstacles people face and develop tools to remove them.

I am certified by the ACBIS and Brain Injury Association of America as a Brain Injury Specialist and work closely with other providers to ensure that all aspects of a person's health are addressed. I have also been certified by IBCCES as an Autism Specialist.

Life's hurdles are unexpected and frustrating to deal with in a society that expects we shoulder them without flinching. The past 2 years has not helped most in regards to relationships and how we view ourselves. Maybe you know what you need to do to get past your self-view, a toxic relationship, a past trauma. Maybe you are unsure at this point - either way - keeping your thoughts in isolation only breeds discontent, which can trickle into every facet of our lives until we cannot remember what our "best-self" looked like. I would be happy and privileged to be a blank canvas for you to spill out your frustration, grief, and joy.

Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists
What is the most effective treatment for oppositional defiant disorder?
The treatment of Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) will involve multiple approaches designed to help both the youngster and their parents, sometimes including medication. A therapist will help a child learn ways to regulate their emotions, curb their impulsiveness, and counteract anger, defiance, and disruption, while showing parents ways to bring these lessons into their home. A technique designed for children with conditions like ODD, known as Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS), may also be used. CPS addresses a child’s concerns and rewards appropriate responses while discouraging harsh punishment or criticism.
How does treatment for oppositional defiant disorder work?
Treatment for ODD addresses the issues underlying a child’s defiance and disruption, the emotional regulation and impulse-control skills they lack, and the way adults respond to them. ODD therapy is based on the idea that children with the disorder understand the difference between right and wrong, that they want to behave well, and that, with help, they can. By responding to the child with empathy instead of harsh criticism, ignoring nonviolent behaviors, and rewarding positive actions, a therapist, and the other adults in a child’s life, can help children improve their behavior.
How long does therapy for oppositional defiant disorder take?
Therapy for oppositional defiant disorder is not a short-term undertaking. Depending on the severity of a child’s symptoms, their age, the presence of other conditions like ADHD, anxiety or a mood disorder, and their family dynamic, it can take months before improvement is noted. The cooperation of parents and teachers is crucial, because the skills learned in therapy must be practiced in real-world situations, with all their potential triggers.
Does oppositional defiant disorder go away?
ODD can remit following treatment. ODD is often diagnosed in nursery school, and early intervention is essential for a positive prognosis. In two-thirds of children, according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, symptoms resolve within three years.
