Everybody needs to be heard. Everyone craves understanding, connection, and acceptance. When we do not have an outlet to tell our story, thoughts, fears, hopes, and dreams- we risk losing pieces of ourselves along the journey. You may be in a position where you're seeking a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in this life. You may be trying to make sense of disappointments or traumas that haunt you. Many may be looking for emotional healing and a path “back to normal” in a world that feels chaotic, uncertain. Some of you would simply like a sounding board to strengthen existing coping abilities; a refresher, if you will.

*I am not able to accept new clients at this time for individual treatment. However, I am accepting people for group therapy. * I enjoy building relationships that facilitate the healing process - moving from just coping everyday to overcoming barriers in relationships, work, school and overall well-being through connection. I have experience working with adults and adolescents with persistent anxiety, depression and difficulty in attachment, often this is due to trauma. Additionally, I enjoy working with adolescents and their families to create relationships that work for all family members.

Hi, we have openings, and welcome adult, child, and adolescent clients of all races, cultures, LGBTQ, etc. Are you struggling with work, relationships, or past trauma?

Each one of us has a desire within to be our truest, best selves. Sometimes our circumstances can hinder our thoughts and emotions in feeling the success of this ability. We can feel as though we are walking through a fog, unable to unlock this potential. Whether you are coping with sadness, anxiety, life stressors, life changes, or trauma, I am a firm believer that everyone has the ability to hit the pause button, take a deep breath, catch their second wind and begin again. Sometimes it just takes that first step, recognizing that the more you take, the closer you are to exiting the fog and beginning the life you imagine.

After 27 years as a high school teacher, I followed my long-held interest and returned to school to become a licensed social worker (LMSW) and a substance abuse counselor (CASAC.) I work with clients who are suffering from anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, substance abuse, ADHD/ADD and I also work with couples. I primarily use CBT, ACT and DBT. Data shows that most people who experience substance use disorders also meet the criteria for a mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (70-80%), or some form of trauma (50%.) Treating substance abuse means treating the whole person.

Although we don't intend, it can be easy to stay in a feeling of defeat. Finding hope and seeing the incredible view after a journey uniquely climbed is where my passion lies.

Teen Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
