Sometimes when we feel stuck, the situation can seem hopeless. But no matter what you’re facing, you can feel better. Our time together will help you recognize your worth as an individual and appreciate the things that make you uniquely you. Together, we will use evidence-based techniques to help you cope with challenges, overcome negative thoughts about yourself, and start enjoying life again.

All of us have times when worries pile up, we face situations that seem impossible, and life feels out of control. There are proven ways of coping with stress and anxiety and you don’t have to deal with it alone. Together, we will explore your fears and understand the stressors in your life. We will use evidence-based techniques to help you quiet the anxious thoughts and cope with the stress. By confronting your anxiety in a supportive environment, you can overcome the challenges in your life.

Whether moving, changing careers, starting or ending a relationship, or having a baby, life transitions can be a stressful time. It can also be a time of exploration and self-discovery. We will work together to help you understand your values, identify your unique strengths, and realize your worth as an individual. This will serve as the foundation to help you unlock your potential.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is an evidence-based approach to therapy. Your thoughts and your behaviors directly impact how you feel. Although you can't directly control your emotions, you can control your thoughts and behaviors. We will focus on changing how you think and what you do to help you feel better.

I believe that everyone has the potential to live a life that they find meaningful. We will work together to help you understand your values, identify your unique strengths, and realize your worth as an individual. This will serve as the foundation to help you unlock your potential. Together, we will work to help you build the confidence and skills you need to pursue the kind of life you want.

Mindfulness promotes being present in the moment, observing your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. This awareness can help you to get in touch with yourself and help you to accept and validate your emotions. Often we either get overwhelmed by our emotions or we try to avoid them. Mindfulness-based therapy offers an alternative where we can take a balanced view of our emotions and experience a greater sense of calm.

We offer comprehensive ADHD testing to determine whether you or your child has ADHD. It can also rule out other explanations for ADHD-like symptoms. We take a careful approach, gathering all the necessary information so that you can be confident in the results. We also provide therapy to help clients manage ADHD symptoms, and we work with children, teens, and adults.

We offer assessments for IQ, academic performance, ADHD, learning disorders (e.g., dyslexia, dyscalculia), memory, and learning style. We also offer comprehensive assessments that look at the complete picture of you, including strengths and weaknesses. These assessments can be used for diagnosis, treatment planning, educational placement, or just to have a better understanding of yourself or your child. We conduct assessments for children, adolescents, and adults.

We tailor our approach to meet the needs of each couple. Most couples benefit from an approach that combines learning new skills (e.g., communicating more effectively) with space to work through issues in therapy and practice using these new skills. Couples counseling tends to focus on three areas: (1) strengthening the couple’s friendship, (2) helping the couple more effectively engage with conflict, and (3) helping the couples navigate questions around life goals and values.

Sometimes when we feel stuck, the situation can seem hopeless. But no matter what you’re facing, you can feel better. Our time together will help you recognize your worth as an individual and appreciate the things that make you uniquely you.
