What are your needs & wants?

It is important to know what success looks like, sounds like, and how it feels.  My work involves collaborating with adults to discover their own unique way of achieving happiness and what their lives will look like when the "problem" is no longer a problem. Within our work, we attempt to carefully separate the "problem" from the person so I can help my clients identify their strengths, resiliency, and resources to construct a life worth living, a career worth having, and a relationship worth celebrating.

In my experience, I have found it is helpful to know at the outset how we will reach success in therapy.  Our work involves exploring difficult issues and painful areas. I tend to work in a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy format.
​
I specialize in the treatment of attention deficit, creating a fulfilling career, depression, anger, P.T.S.D., and anxiety. I  enjoy working with adults / college students who have dyslexia/learning disabilities, behavioral difficulty or are experiencing anxiety surrounding their career / academic performance.  I facilitate implementation of academic / employment accommodations.
