I believe we are all capable of more than we think we are, and my job is to help you do those hard things! We will work together to identify what areas you would like to improve, and continually check in with each other on your progress. Every day you make the decision to improve how you feel. The fact that you’re here, reading this, is a win for you! I have been practicing psychotherapy for 13 years in various clinical settings. I have experience helping adults cope with depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationships, life transitions, parenting issues, vocational issues, anger management, trauma, abuse, and grief. I practice cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which examines the relationship between your thoughts and the feelings that those thoughts cause. I also teach stress relief, which frankly we all need, in the form of relaxation techniques and mindfulness. I can help you reduce your worries and stress, adjust to change, reach your personal goals, and find short and long-term solutions to the problems you’re struggling with. I'm glad you're here with me on this journey!

Mental Wellness Specialties: AddictionsLGBTTrauma and abuseDepression
20 years offering treatment
I have 20 years experience working with a variety of issues, including depressed patients, PTSD (combat, domestic and other traumas) anxiety, aging, and cognitive problems resulting in difficulty communicating rationally and calmly. I have worked 5 years in substance abuse, worked with homeless severely mentally ill and nine and a half years working with service members and their families. My perspective is more long term. As a mother and a grandmother I tend to think beyond immediate consequences and impact of one's actions. My thought is that I need to know what you want therapy to do for you and we work together to find a path to your goal. I am less prescriptive than questioning and working to find out what fits you best. We may start with smaller goals to get you where you are going or you may have decided what you think will work best for you. Cooperation in therapy means that you can leave the therapeutic environment ready to steer your own course rather than advice giving which may cause you to second guess yourself. For therapy to be successful we must be guided by your goals and vision for yourself. If ever you feel we need a course correction I am ready and willing to offer treatment in line with your beliefs and insight. I am strengths based in my approach. You have gotten along this far because of the strength and skills you possess. Therapy will build on the strengths you already possess and add other skills to your strength inventory. When people are depressed and anxious or have other disturbances they tend to focus on "what's wrong with me" ignoring the fact that they have already lived through 100% of the challenges life has thrown their way. Let's find out what your strength inventory is and find new skills to move you on the path that you choose. HOURS Monday through Thursday between 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM Monday through Thursday between 1 PM and 4 PM Monday through Wednesday between 6:30 PM and 7:30 PM Saturday morning 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
