Women in Transition

I provide a solution focused, cognitive behavioral approach to my work, with a strong emphasis on collaborating with you to create an individualized plan to target your specific needs. With the philosophy that the therapeutic process continues outside of the office, I often provide 'homework' to all clients involved including selected readings and self care assignments.

Adolescent Therapy

Sometimes it can be hard to cope with all of the changes that happen during your teenage years. Stress from family, relationships and friends can make it all the more difficult. If your teen is having trouble dealing with certain situations or emotions, they may find counseling to be a helpful way making sense of things. Through years of experience and study I have developed effective approaches that empower parents and youth alike.

Hypnotherapy 

Hypnosis is a self-induced, alerted state of consciousness created through intense, focused relaxation. This altered state accesses the unconscious mind. Everyone experiences this self-induced state every day whenever they become lost in thought or daydream and find themselves less aware of their outside environment. While in this state our conscious ‘walls’ lower and our sub-conscious is more open to suggestions.

In hypnotherapy, I help you to enter a deep state of relaxation and heightened suggestion. During this relaxed state, therapeutic goals can be undertaken, such as treating phobias, exploring emotions, and altering detrimental thought patterns. While under trance or after our sessions you won’t do anything that goes against your own personal values or beliefs. Generally, most people are aware of their surroundings while in room as treatment takes place.

ASW/LCSW Intern Supervision

My goal for all interns who are coming into my office is to be able to create a relaxing and safe environment that encourages critical thought and professional growth. You can be ensured that we will work specifically on cases that you bring to the session and hit all significant clinical issues of your client.
Anticipating the Board examinations incites stress in even the best of us. There are many barriers such as anxiety and test taking techniques that are almost always present. With this in mind, preparing for the BBS exams should include not only comprehensive review of your knowledge but also techniques to use when facing the examination.
