Services Available
Individual Sessions
At the heart of my practice are individual sessions which focus on
particular areas generally related to achieving greater happiness
and well-being. Our work will be entirely tailored to you or your
child’s strengths and how to address areas of difficulty, such
as any anxiety, depression, ADHD, or other learning difficulties.
Consultation
Consultative services are available to parents and other mental
health professionals on an ongoing or limited basis. These
services can address psychological issues, educational
planning, second opinion of neuropsychological evaluations,
review of records, the development of supports, and legal
issues involving diagnostic clarification and expert
witnesses. Individuals do not need to be involved in individual
or group treatment with me in order to request consultation services.
Professional supervision to mental health professions can include
individual case management as well as business practices.
Couples and Family Sessions
Given that we all live within a family system, greater well-being is often
achieved when working with the individuals we share our lives with.
Sessions may be on going or limited to times of transition or when
stressors at home have increased.
Neuropsychological Evaluations
A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation assess an individual's
strengths and weaknesses in areas such as overall cognitive abilities,
problem solving, executive functioning, language skills, memory,
attention, visual spatial processing, and psychological functioning.
The evaluation fee includes initial intake meeting, individual time
assessing, preparation of a comprehensive report, and consultation
to discuss the findings.
My Approach
Imagine...therapy that really helps people feel greater happiness!
That should be the goal of therapy. The way I work with people
with anxiety, depression, and/or ADHD is based on the basic
principles of how psychological reality is created moment to
moment. People often describe having spent many years and
a great deal of money on traditional therapy with little
improvement. Individuals benefit from understanding how
their mind works and the role thinking plays in happiness
and well-being. With that knowledge people are better able
to learn and apply strategies that allow them to approach life
differently resulting in change. My mission is to help people
lead happier, more productive lives through a balanced,
integrative and holistic, mindfulness-based treatment model.
I work with individuals and groups. I am not opposed to discussing
medication or referring to medication specialist but I do not believe
that medicine is always the first place to begin treatment.
Achieving greater inner peace may include the following:
A tendency to think and act spontaneously.
An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.
A loss of interest in judging other people and yourself.
A loss of interest in conflict.
A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom)
Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
Frequent attacks of smiling.
An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than to make them happen.
An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others.
Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
by Johann Wolfgang Goethe
