Are you feeling burned out? Anxious? Unmotivated or uninspired? Are you struggling to manage work and family or confused about your career choices? I work with primarily adults on issues related to anxiety, depression, work/family integration and work/career stressors. In my work, I most often utilize CBT, trauma-informed, solution-focused and strength-based approaches to support people in achieving specific life and mental health goals. Our work is a partnership where you are the expert on YOU and I bring psychological expertse, challenge stuck beliefs and encourage growth and change.

5 star GOOGLE reviews! Is it wrong to laugh a little in therapy? Have you been struggling lately? Do you need a therapist who actively engages rather than just listening passively? With 20 years of experience, I am dedicated to supporting clients in managing their emotions and maintaining healthy relationships. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment and take pride in offering my best self and staying true to my advice. If previous counseling efforts have felt unsuccessful, allow me to offer a more meaningful approach. You may be pleasantly surprised at the difference.

I understand therapy as the means by which we transform who you think you should be into an appreciation of who you are and how you came to be. I do not seek to cure you but only to help you become more effective at caring for yourself. Diagnoses are used only to help you connect with communities or to develop more effective self-care. We will not seek to fix you because you are not broken. While this process of self-acceptance is powerful for anyone, I recommend it for young adults (16-25) or for people experiencing neurodiversity, complex trauma, suicidality, personality disorder, or treatment-resistant illnesses. All are welcome!

It is essentially human to seek physical safety, to belong to and be understood by others of our kind, and to know that we can control our lives and make a difference in our world. If you are struggling with emotional control, unwanted behavior, and difficulty with thinking and motivation, life can be especially hard.

I have experience with a diversity of issues including anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. I am a trained depth psychotherapist (Jungian-oriented), and am concerned with addressing symptoms at their root cause. I balance this approach by offering avenues of relief from symptoms in the present. Easing the burden of suffering in the here-and-now allows us to engage more fully with the work of addressing original causes, and thereby contributes to long-term resolution.

One of the greatest truths is that life can be difficult. Once we see this truth, we can transcend it. My counseling approach is centered on you and where you are in the moment. We'll explore you, your life, where you've been, and where you want to go. We'll design a therapeutic approach that is right for you. I have 35 years of experience and have worked with many models of treatment, treating a myriad of symptoms and life situations. I was a crisis clinician for 27 years, so not much intimidates me. When contacting me, please provide your insurance's name, 3 ideal time slots, and if you are willing to do telehealth sessions.

ADHD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
