Are you experiencing a difficult time in your life right now? Are you frequently anxious or tearful?  Are you having difficulty in your relationships?  Do you feel that your teenager needs help with relationships, handling emotions or conflict?

Sometimes life can be a smooth and peaceful path but other times there are bumps in the road.  If you are experiencing life’s challenges and feel you would benefit from talking with someone who can help you face and process your concerns and issues, then seeing a professional counselor can be very beneficial.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am experienced in helping people in a nonjudgmental manner work through their hardships. I also have specialized training in treating Body Focused Repetitive Behavior (BFRB) such as hair pulling (trichotillomania) and skin picking by using the COMB method (a cognitive behavior based therapy specifically for BFRBs).  In addition, I also have specialized training in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder by using ERP (exposure and response prevention).

I believe that therapeutic change can take place through a secure and trustworthy client and counselor relationship.  For issues other than BFRBs and OCD, I approach counseling with a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy framework which is a research based perspective.  I provide individual counseling for adults, teens and preteens (ages 11 and up). 

Below are some of the various issues with which I can help:
