I also treat youth who exhibit concerns related to depression, anxiety, and behavioral challenges.
Do you prioritize everyone else in your life? Do you have difficulty comfortably expressing your feelings? Have you noticed negative patterns in your relationships? As a clinical psychologist, I assist clients with making desired changes in their relationships and behaviors. Therapy is utilized to improve self esteem, communication, and build coping skills. I frequently treat clients struggling with issues of codependency, depression and anxiety. I also assist clients who are navigating through a particularly challenging time in their lives, so that they are able to move forward with an improved sense of self and direction.

The theoretical counseling model I ascribe to is mostly Cognitive Behavioral.
If you are looking for someone with experience to listen to your situation, help you identify things that need to change, and to help you make those changes, I would love to talk with you. I have been counseling children, adolescents, individuals, couples and families for 24 years. We will work together to develop treatment goals and strategies to get things back on course. It is so hard when relationships are stressed or broken, when children are having problems educationally or socially, and when anxiety or depression prevents you from being who you want to be. I can help.

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. Perhaps you struggle with unwanted behavior patterns or difficulties in your relationships. Maybe you’re challenged by overwhelming emotions or struggle to know what you’re feeling at all. Or maybe you’re having trouble adjusting to new circumstances or making a big decision.

I am skilled in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy as well as knowledgeable in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
Being a teenager can be challenging, especially during a pandemic. Being isolated from friends, spending more time at home and going back to school are just a few stressors. I have learned through my own personal experiences, what it looks like to listen to a persons issues, needs and goals. I have experience both in my professional career as well as through my own mental health journey what it means to be a person who actively listens. I understand there are times when insight is needed but there is also value in having someone simply listen.

For preteens and adolescents, I draw from cognitive behavioral and insight-oriented therapies that focus on identity development, value clarification, emotional regulation, and negotiating needs and wants effectively.
I enjoy working with children, adults, couples and families who are seeking support with relationships, managing emotion, co-parenting and navigating the obstacles of everyday life. Transitions can be challenging whether it be starting a new grade, adjusting to divorce, or leaving home to begin college. Mental health issues can complicate productivity making it difficult to experience happiness, joy and success. I enjoy working with the complex dynamics of couples and families. This might include helping children to improve peer or sibling relationships, adjust to a parent's divorce, or navigate their own powerful emotions.

My interventions range from cognitive-behavioral therapy to psychodynamic processing of earlier experiences to using Engel's biopsychosocial model to identify how physical, psychological, and social issues contribute to struggle.
When Life feels overwhelming or unsettling, we often need someone who can consider our situation with more objectivity than we possess. I have been a psychologist for over 20 years and believe in the power of therapy to (1) help us navigate challenging times and (2) learn new strategies that help us reach our potential. I begin every first session with the same opening: "Tell me why you're here and how I could help." Then I ask the clients to tell me their stories. I love listening to people's stories because our stories remind us of where we have been and give us a context for the current and future chapters of our lives.
