Mental Health Home and Office visits. Helping families, caregivers and patients cope with behavioral and mental health challenges. Why home care? For many patients, home is the best possible place for learning to cope with behavioral and mental health issues. The combination of family, friends and familiar surroundings often provides the most comfortable environment for working toward mental and physical health and independent functioning. The team communicates regularly to coordinate efforts so the patient's specific needs are met. In addition, communication with family and caregivers is ongoing. Our goal is to provide your loved one with the best care possible while keeping you as informed and involved in the process as we are able. * Issues: * Alzheimer's * Anger Management * Anxiety or Fears * Attention Deficit (ADHD) * Child or Adolescent * Depression * Eating Disorders * Family Conflict * Life Coaching * Medication Management * Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) * Emergency Appointments * Suicidal Ideation * Weight Loss * Mental Health: * Bipolar Disorder * Dissociative Disorders * Elderly Persons Disorders * Impulse Control Disorders * Mood Disorders * Personality Disorders * Psychosis * Thinking Disorders

I believe everyone has the capacity to change and improve the quality of their life, no matter what has happened. My style of counseling combines working with insight and cognitive therapy, which explores past events in light of how the choices we now make affect well - being. I also utilize an awareness approach, whereby, getting in touch and releasing the feelings in the body helps to create a new sense of relief and empowerment.

I'm a senior clinical psychologist who helps couples during the worst of times. My specialty is working with couples who haven't been helped by other couples therapists. 81% of therapists surveyed say that they work with couples, however only 12% have ever taken a formal course in the subject. I've spent my professional career working as a clinical member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, the premier organization for those practicing marital therapy. I've been a sex therapist at the highest level (Diplomate) for over thirty years. More recently, I completed the most advanced training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, a way of working with couples that has over 35 years behind it. ...and hard science. Couples come to see me for many reasons: • A couple is fighting a lot and it impacts the overall tone of the marriage My job is to teach you about destructive patterns and how to break the cycle. I'm active, direct, and help you to put your energies toward change. Research demonstrates that these patterns can and do change. • There is no pleasure in it, or sex feels mechanical. Sometimes things don't work well when you do have sex, or you hate the body you are living in. Let me put my thirty years of helping couples and teaching sex at a graduate level work for you. Become closer, work through a trauma past, and make sex become alive and pleasurable again. • You've have, or are about to consult a lawyer about getting a divorce, but wonder if Last Shot Couples Therapy could help. Did you know the severity of the problems have little relationship to the outcome of a marriage 5 years later? The majority of couples who had serious difficulties, like affairs, job loss, or intense arguments labeled themselves as "happy" 5 years later? They were tougher than their problems. Are you? Would you like to be? • You think so differently. It hard to relate. Aspergers, Trauma history, even Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder present very different perspectives. One is an artist, the other a scientist. But the fights might seem to be around parenting, but they are actually about world views. I work with couples who "think differently." Perhaps they come from different cultures. Or the same culture but now live in the USA. Choose a psychologist who respects these real differences in perspectives or cognitive processing, and is enthusiastic about making the love relationship work for you.
