My Approach to Helping

Do you feel stuck? Have problems sleeping because of worry? Do you feel tense and anxious much of the time? I am here to help. As your therapist I provide the emotional support you need while exploring new ways of thinking and approachng life's challenges. My goal at all times is to create a nurturing and accepting environment for you to safely explore your thoughts and feelings while working to change patterns that get in the way of the joy and peace you seek in your life.

Although I frequently see clients for problems related to depression, grief and loss, parenting, and relationship difficulties, I have two specialties. The first specialty area is Anxiety Disorders. This includes Post Traumatic Stress related to sexual abuse and other trauma, Obssessive Compulsive Disorder, panic, and chronic anxiety.

More Info About My Practice

My secondary specialty is working with indviduals who have Autism or Asperger's Syndrome. This includes children, youth and adults. We address areas such as anxiety, anger, social skills, and work or school related challenges. My practice frequently involves serving clients who additionally may also have ADHD or a Learning Disability. I draw on 16 years of experience as a former Special Education Teacher and Autism Consultant to enhance my work as a Mental Health Counselor.
