About Me
My Approach to Helping
People enter into counseling for many reasons. It can be a personal desire to change a habit in relationships, with long-standing health choices or struggles, surviving a trauma, or a wish to develop better communications with others. Whatever the reason, asking for help in therapy is a very personal thing and a sign of strength as you make use of resources that are available to improve your life. Working together, we can move you in the direction in which you want to go in your life.
More Information About My Practice
I have been working with individuals and families for over 38 year's, and bring a background of extensive training and experience to my practice. I specialize in treatment for adults, adolescents and families.
My professional history includes many years of working with individuals, families and groups to provide therapeutic support related to the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety, trauma, depression, attention deficit disorders trauma, grief and loss and adjustment disorders. My background also includes the role of clinician in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings and collaboration with physicians, trauma centers, and psychiatrists.
Working together, we can determine what is undermining your current functioning and develop a plan with strategies to address this. I also integrate a whole body lens, including looking at present patterns of rest, nutrition, and relaxation and how that contributes to the current situation. I help you to gain insight and skills to regain previous strengths and then build upon them to feel greater competence when life's inevitable challenges come along. I view therapy as a very private and special relationship and encourage anyone looking for assistance to have a consultation to see if our skills and needs mesh. I would be honored to assist you.
