Clinical Services
I provide individual and family psychotherapy to children (4+), adolescents and adults.
My practice offers assistance with the following concerns:
- Depression
- Anxiety (including Phobias, Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety Disorder)
- Obsessive/Compulsive disorder
- Anger management/low frustration tolerance
- Parenting Challenges
- ADHD
- Separation and divorce
- Parenting challenges
- Major life changes
Clinical hypnotherapy is a wonderful adjunct to psychotherapy. Hypnotherapy uses guided imagery, relaxation and focused attention to achieve an enhanced state of awareness. In this relaxed and hypnotic state, which can be referred to as a trance, an individual becomes better able to respond to suggestions or messages put forth. Hypnotherapy can greatly assist people in managing or changing certain behaviors including:
- Anxiety
- Smoking
- Phobias
- Nail Biting
- Sleep disorders
- Depression
- Stress
In addition, hypnotherapy can help individuals change their perceptions and sensations which can be useful in treating chronic pain and in pain management.
I enjoy working with people of all ages. A special interest of mine is working with those who struggle with anxiety, depression and emotional regulation/anger management. I strongly believe that although feelings can truly overwhelm, with the proper supports and knowledge, improvement and symptom reduction is possible.
The strategies I use with my clients are often skill based. By using the traditions of cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-oriented therapy, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, strategic therapy and positive psychology, my clients learn new ways of thinking, and new strategies for coping. The goal is to find strengths, teach strategies and provide tools to improve your life so you may experience a more peaceful existence.
When we meet, I hope you will find that I listen with empathy, unconditional positive regard and respect, to understand your concerns and the goals you wish for the future. I am a therapist who honors confidentiality and provides a non-judgemental, safe and comfortable presence. I truly enjoy helping people overcome their challenges and craft each session to meet the individual needs of each client. If a concern is out of my scope of practice, I will work to identify another resource as necessary.
Thank you for your time…it is often challenging to reach for help when you are struggling. Together we will find your strengths, provide strategies and tools to make changes in your life, help you to feel better and to reach your goals. I truly look forward to meeting you…
