Weekly counseling sessions are ideal for developing trust as we work through the challenges in your life.  Right now, due to COVID 19, services are typically held using a confidential website to ensure your that privacy is protected.  I work collaboratively with you, the client, we go at your pace and to support your growth in-between sessions I often give handouts or video links that will support you during your treatment.  

My specialties include:
  • anxiety including separation anxiety, insomnia and physical complaints such as stomach aches or headaches
  • anger and irritability, feeling overwhelmed
  • depression including a sad mood,  isolating from peers or family and avoiding activities or hobbies
  • low self esteem or feelings of hopelessness
  • grief and loss (after a break up, death)
  • inattention and impulsivity  related to ADHD or ADD
  • difficulty concentrating, procrastination
  • the mood and behaviors after experiencing a trauma including, fear, being startled easily and avoiding places or people that remind you of the trauma
  • the feelings related to parent separation or divorce (stress, abandonment)
When working with teens, I believe the parent or caregiver's participation in the treatment is very important.  I hope to open the line of communication between parent/teen which helps to facilitate change.
​
I was trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and incorporate EMDR in the tele-therapy sessions to work through anxiety, depression, small traumas and big trauma including:
  • a car or other type of accident 
  • anxiety including social anxiety or specific phobia (such as an animal  phobia)
  • prior abuse (physical, emotional or sexual) or emotional neglect
  • grief (after the death of a loved one whether that is a person or a pet) 
EMDR has proven to be  an effective treatment in reducing the symptoms connected to trauma (such as being startled easily, nervousness and difficulty concentrating). For more information,  go to the EMDR International Association at ww.emdria.org
