How will you know when your life has improved? What will be the signs? How will you be different? Can you envision that difference? With over 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I will use these questions to begin the process of helping you to find new possibilities for fulfillment and relief from emotional pain. I have extensive experience helping adults and adolescents with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and panic disorders, addictions, interpersonal relationship problems, and life transitions. After identifying therapy goals, we'll outline a plan to help you work through your barriers to change.
Therapy will move at your pace. We'll use proven Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to break the connection between harmful thoughts and negative emotions. As you begin to learn new coping skills you'll become more confident taking on the challenge of change.
As therapy progresses, we'll look deeper to understand how presenting problems are sometimes a cover for other hidden problems often originating in childhood. Over the course of therapy we'll revisit your therapy goals and evaluate your progress. I look forward to the possibility of working with you.
There are times when life can become overwhelming and it is in these times when it can be helpful to have support and guidance. My role as a therapist is to help you focus on what areas in your life you want to improve and then to assist you in doing so. I can offer practical ways to make changes while helping you look at situations from a different perspective. I believe that therapy is meant to be short term; a place for you to focus on yourself, make life changes and then move forward on your own.
I work with clients of all ages through individual work and family sessions when appropriate. I also offer couples counseling for marital/ relationship issues.
I work with psychiatrist and numerous primary physicians in the area, including Monticello, Hamburg, Portland, El Dorado, and Crossett AR. I decided to focus on the high need in our area for a Counselor that is able to work with insurance clients.
I have worked in mental health in for over 8 years. I believe that everyone deserves the same treatment regardless of their pay source. I work closely with several psychiatrist and primary care physicians in the area for the most effective care possible.
I have worked with all ages and various mental disorders but I am specializing in the less severely mentally ill with insurance or private pay. I have specialized training in ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder as well as with Grief, Addiction, Depression, Panic Disorder, and Bipolar clients.
I work with adults affected by various mental health conditions, including, but not limited to, depression, generalized and social anxiety, panic, sleep disorders, and post-traumatic stress. I am also interested in helping individuals process unresolved grief due to family of origin issues. My areas of specialization include the treatment of eating disorders within an adult population and treating adult survivors of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. I have extensive research and clinical training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy and continue to build on these experiences by working with couples suffering from relationship distress.
My clinical approach is strongly rooted in attachment theory. This orientation provides me with an understanding of clients' emotional needs, how they cope with these needs alone and within their closest relationships. I use techniques from a variety of different evidence-based therapeutic approaches to address client concerns.
My past academic research in psychotherapy guides my assessment of how clients progress through therapy. I engage in regular consultations with other eating disorder professionals, and I am an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychology at Mount Allison University.

As an LMFT, my approach is broadened to include how your presenting concerns impact relationships with your spouse, family and friends. This holistically emphasizes the need for change in you and your support systems so you can grow in a context that can adapt and accommodate your needs.
As a licensed minister, I am willing to integrate your faith into your treatment as much or as little as you desire.
Anxiety and depression can drain your energy and make feeling better seem a distant goal. You may not have always had a meaningful and satisfying life.You can become more effective in your life by identifying your strengths and weaknesses and gaining the skills you need to achieve your goals.Change can be achieved by learning from the past and sometimes through the development of new skills and sometimes through both. Learning how to be more effective in your life involves reducing your distress in proven ways and using your signature strengths to achieve the meaning and happiness you want.
I have seen the toll that anxiety, depression and chronic pain can take on a persons life. In addition, stress not only magnifies medical conditions, it can erode relationships and change them from a source of strength, support and joy to a burden you have to carry.
I am certified in biofeedback and neurofeedback. I have extensive experience with chronic pain, trauma and comorbid medical conditions that have become complicated by psychological issues. As a certified practioner, I have helped many people cope with recent or childhood trauma, PTSD and chronic stress conditions.

Our office is a renovated house which is located centrally with free parking. There, you will feel comfortable in a nonclinical setting. I look forward to meeting you, individually or with your partner and/or adolescent to help you on your journey to a more balanced, richer and meaningful life.
Do you want to live a better life? Is something getting in the way? Or are you feeling overwhelmed, unable to cope? I will help you harness your strengths to move past your issues. I'll travel along side you considering your hopes, and partner with you nonjudgementally to address your worries. I'll also help you find the strength to be courageous if needed. Only if you're ready, I'll help you take meaningful action, so that you feel better about yourself, your life, and others. Together we will customize your plan for change or implement coping strategies.
The first part of the getting-to-know-you process I will complete an initial assessment to help determine the depth of your depression, anxiety, unhealthy/healthy coping strategies, personality characteristics and other areas that may be causing you to feel stuck. All the while using a strength-based approach. After the assessment, we can explore your problem areas through collaborative discussions. For some people, just being able to talk freely about a problem brings relief, being validated and supported helps in the letting go process. The early stages of counselling will help you clarify what's troubling you.
You will learn new skills that will help you see yourself and the world differently and how to distinguish between situations you can change and those you cannot. Please specify preference in email for Halifax or Bedford office. First 30 minute initial consultation free.
In addition to working with clients, I am also a university professor, which has helped me to stay current in the research and training in the field. I primarily teach courses on play therapy and family therapy.
Do you have a child who is defiant, acts impulsively, or struggles to show self-control? Is anxious, withdrawn, or depressed? Struggling socially or in school? Having difficulty adjusting to a stressful life experience? I primarily work with young children (2-10 years old) who are experiencing behavioral, emotional, psychological, and/or relational problems that are interfering with their functioning at home, school, and/or other settings. I believe strongly in the role that parents/caregivers and families have in the lives of their children and like to involve them as much as possible as I work with children.
As a Registered Play Therapist, I have received additional training, experience, and supervision in counseling children. Play therapy provides a developmentally-appropriate approach for counseling children. Kids often struggle to express themselves verbally and may not respond well to traditional counseling methods that are often geared to adults.
