I am a compassionate and caring therapist sensitive to the needs of my clients. I have been treating clients with behavioral health and addiction problems for the past 24 years. I specialize in individualizing treatment for each client and understand the role of stress in the environment and how stress impacts on the mind and body. I believe unresolved stress leads to imbalances in brain chemistry which cause depression, anxiety, and physical problems. I focus on making lifestyle changes which aid in the recovery process. Please see my website http://hillsboroughneuropsych.com/ for more information about my self and my associates.

My ideal client would most likely be a female teenager working through peer relationships, self-esteem, and social anxiety. With this client, I believe some of her needs would be to explore core beliefs of who she is in comparison to what others may say/think of her, cognitively challenging and reframing intrusive/negative thought patterns, and slowly expose the client to social scenarios in which she can use her coping skills to effectively navigate new situations.
