  • I am not a provider on insurance panels. If you have a PPO plan, you could potentially be reimbursed for part of the session fee. I can provide further information for those who are interested in having their insurance pay for part of therapy.

I specialize in helping people improve their:

  • Anxiety symptoms

  • Depression

  • Self esteem

  • Relationships with significant others, family members, co-workers and friends

  • Stress levels and lifestyle habits

  • Inner conflict and conflict resolution with others

  • Body image and weight related issues

In a safe, comfortable environment, I offer tools and ways to work through difficult feelings and life’s challenges.  Therapy serves different purposes for individuals. Together, we’ll find a helpful plan depending upon your unique needs.

Therapy can be short term or long term. Many clients have short-term goals in counseling which typically takes 10-12 sessions to achieve.

Some clients want to explore deeper, underlying problems they’ve experienced most of their lives. For these clients, they choose to enter into a longer term but still focused avenue of therapy.

My approach with each client is unique and always focuses on the client’s goals in counseling.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a form of therapy that helps people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. EMDR therapy has been extensively researched and has demonstrated effectiveness for trauma.

 

Self Esteem Counseling

Counseling for low self esteem is one of my specialties. But what is self esteem? Self esteem is a feeling of pride in yourself. It reflects a person’s overall emotional evaluation of his or her own self worth.

Do you berate yourself or have negative thoughts about yourself? How valuable do you think you are to the world?

Together, we can work through difficult feelings and I can help you build your self esteem in a healthy and productive way.

 

Working Through Depression

Together, we can work through your depression. When life’s difficulties and challenges become overwhelming, therapy can provide an expanded view of ways to deal with problems more effectively.

Therapy facilitates self-awareness which can expand your ability to work through life’s challenges and difficult feelings. Through the process of therapy, I help people identify obstacles that keep them from having what they want in life, create healthy boundaries and self-care practices, and experience relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety and low self-worth.
