Are you browsing for a therapist to help with mental fatigue or problematic events, and not sure what to do or who to trust? Personal struggles often seem to interfere with performing normal daily activities. Sometimes having negative thoughts or certain feelings becomes so overwhelming it can lead to tears, frustration, or uncertainty of having a positive outcome. Does it seem when you feel you are trying your best that it's never good enough? As a cancer survivor, I have been there and life can be complicated at times. However, there is hope and I would love to help you find your positive outcomes.

I have been able to help a wide range of people including children, teens, and adults, serving my clients through individual, group, and family therapy. I have been able to assist my clients with issues including depression, ADHD, anxiety, marital conflict, parenting issues, and past trauma.

Do you feel like life is overwhelming you? Are you battling depression or anxiety? Our journey in life can be difficult and at times filled with pain, loss, grief, struggle and full of questions. My passion is to journey alongside you, helping you make sense of what is happening and continue moving on your path finding respite, hope and support along the way. Whether it be due to trauma, depression, anxiety, divorce or marital issues I will be glad to listen to who you are and what makes your journey unique and help you find the path toward wholeness and healing.

I help people get unstuck. When the difference between where you want to be and where you are seems huge, I can help you move through the obstacles and achieve your goals. If you are stressed, depressed, or anxious because the relationships in your life aren't what you would like them to be then you are the kind of person I work well with. While I think it is important to understand how the past has shaped who you are, I prefer to focus on the present and the future.

Daily life struggles can be managed, but what happens when life becomes more difficult to manage, frustration sets in, and our self confidence suffers? Do you have struggles with marital problems, lack of connection with your spouse, or needing affair recovery? Is chronic pain a stressor? Stress in a family can cause other areas in life to feel out of control, angry, depressed, or anxious. If you are dealing with marital issues, family related problems, chronic pain, or self esteem issues, you are not alone, and there can be healing and hope.

I have experience in a wide variety of areas. In recent years I have focused on helping people who have experienced trauma in their life. For this I utilize a specialized trauma therapy called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.) I have worked for several years with eating disorders. I also have many years experience with children and adolescents with behavioral issues. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I deal with marital and family issues.

I work with the whole family in my private practice - individual, couples & families. I love helping families develop closer, healthy relationships and individuals to become strong and confident.

I will tailor your therapy to fit your individual needs.

I have been a licensed marriage & family therapist for thirty years, specializing in the treatment of individuals, couples and families.

Many adults may seek the help of a therapist when they are feeling depressed or anxious. Often they might be experiencing disillusionment, discontent, doubt or restlessness but are not sure of the reasons why. Many times they seek to alleviate the painful emotions resulting from loss, or dysfunction in interpersonal relationships. I believe my role is to assist these clients in determining the source of their discontent and developing coping skills to live successfully and happily, in spite of life's challenges. I especially enjoy working with adults experiencing midlife transitions and the associated challenges of the afternoon of life.

I am a licensed Therapist who specializes in Neurofeedback Therapy (a form of reward biofeedback). Starting with a QEEG brain map I am able to directly treat the brain with neurofeedback and bring relief from anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep disorders, ADD and ADHD and many other mental health issues that impede functioning. EMDR is another modality I use which addresses past emotionally-charged experiences which can overly influence your present emotions, sensations, and thoughts about yourself helping you break through the emotional blocks that are keeping you from living an adaptive, emotionally healthy life.

Is life harder than you expected it to be? Are you feeling challenges too hard to go through alone? I am qualified to guide you through issues such as marriage, family, depression, anxiety, men's issues and addictions. I have a caring, compassionate, non-judgmental approach to helping you overcome life's challenges. I have 4 years experience in group and individual counseling for men dealing with sexual addiction. I have recently completed additional training in sexual addition counseling.

I have been doing consultations and therapy for 30+ years with individuals, couples and families. I enjoy working with couples, communication enhancement, child development and stress management and anger management. I help my clients sort out work on problems/solutions from emotional, mental and behavioral disorders. Often, with carefully planned goals a very few sessions get the job done. But I also do long term in-depth psychotherapy.

My experience (15 years) in the educational field as a teacher of special education/regular ed/gifted ed, and as a school counselor, has been so beneficial in my private practice, (34 years) working with children/families. I see children, adolescents, adults individually, couples, and families. I do Court ordered family therapies, ie parent/child reconciliation, therapeutic visitation and coparenting, (28 years). A local family law attorney and I have just launched an online educational/support site to foster cooperation between separated parents: CoparentAcademy.com

As a licensed Professional Counselor I deal with many different types of issues during therapy including; Marriage Counseling, Family Therapy, Grief, Trauma, Anxiety, Phobias, Depression, Sexual Addictions, ADHD, Anger Management, and those struggling from all types of Childhood Abuse. I believe most of us have past hurts and traumas that affect who we are, how we do life, why we believe what we believe, think what we think, say what we say, and do what we do. In fact, past issues cause many to internalize False Beliefs about themselves such as; I’m not good enough, I’m worthless, I’m defective, I’m bad, Unlovable, Stupid, etc…

Life comes with unexpected challenges, none of which we should walk through alone. When difficulties arise, we need relationship and community; someone to come alongside, listen and provide insight and support. My job as a counselor is to help you, through our therapeutic relationship, identify goals for yourself and uncover whatever it is that is preventing you from reaching those goals. Whether it’s marriage difficulties, anxiety, depression, trauma or a lack of meaning and direction; I want to help you uncover these obstacles, and be a support as you achieve wellbeing.

Everyone encounters problems. Healthy people seek solutions. Our rigorous training and over 45 years of experience equip us to address a wide range of challenges.

As a therapist, my focus is on supporting adult women navigating life's challenges, from relationships to general stressors. Whether it's marriage, friendships, or parenting, I'm here to help. If you're feeling unhappy, worried, or struggling to find joy, it might be a sign that you've lost touch with your authentic self. Living up to others' expectations can take a toll. Together, in a positive and accepting environment, we can uncover your strengths and equip you with tools to navigate difficult times.

After more than 25 years of experience as a therapist, I still am excited about helping clients to obtain the changes they desire.

It is an honor and a pleasure to watch my clients achieve awesome improvements in their lives.
