| Practice Description: |
You’re a mature adult – haven’t been a kid for a long time! So why do you feel, and sometimes act, like a child as soon as you visit with your parents, siblings or other family members? Family visits can be stressful – no matter how old you are. Conflicts or tensions often arise, just when you want most to demonstrate that you’re different now – that you can handle the same old challenges your family keeps throwing at you!
And - maybe it's not just your family that makes life so tough sometimes! Are too many of your conversations turning into arguments these days? Things have changed in your life - and you really would like to be able to talk about what's happening to you? Maybe you’re used to figuring things out yourself – and asking for help just wasn’t in your plans. But, if you’re reading this, maybe you’ve decided to think some about getting a little more support to get you over some of the curves life has thrown you.
Perhaps you are the one who is used to helping others – and your own needs get lost in the process. The helpers and leaders of the world often don’t know how to communicate effectively in order to get their own needs met. As a result, feelings can become overwhelming - and even simple day-to-day communication can become more difficult. You may also find that the support system you used to have isn't there for you anymore - and you're too stressed to reach out. The bottom line may be - you don't get your needs met. If this sounds familiar, I'd like to help.
I know that asking for help might feel like the hardest thing you've ever done. I also know that taking that risk could help you feel much better. And - you may find it can be a big relief to just tell your story confidentially to someone who understands and can help.
And - please browse my website for more information about my practice.
If you're unsure about starting or returning to therapy, let's talk - then you decide! You only need to make that first call.

| Insurance and Billing Instructions: |
Since I am not on any insurance panels or listed as a preferred provider for any insurance companies, you can be assured that your confidentiality is being protected when you see me. If your insurance will pay for my services, I will give you a superbill to submit to your insurance company. However, in that case, you should be aware that I will need to include a diagnosis and that you can no be completely assured that your therapy will be completely confidential (since the insurance company will now have information about your therapy).
Please call me if you would like to discuss insurance concerns and your therapy options. |

| Additional Comments: |
I offer consultation/coaching for parents who would like to more effectively communicate with schools about their children. I am also available to consult with school personnel on strategies for more productive interactions with families. Telephone consultation is also available on a limited basis for schools and parents to help build that "toolkit" of strategies needed for improved dialog among all parties. |
