I believe therapy should provide an emotionally safe space, away from the day-to-day demands of life, where collaborative work can bring about a deepened sense of self-awareness. I provide specific strategies and techniques for working through emotional and relationship issues, limiting thought patterns, trauma and loss. The ultimate goal of therapy is to gain the ability to take what is learned there and to utilize that new understanding and newly developed coping skills independently. I work with adults and adolescents, most often individually but with spouses or other family members and significant others when it is deemed by us to be useful.

The decision to enter therapy is not always easy. Choosing a therapist can also be difficult. I believe that the relationship between patient and therapist is one of the most important components in a person's treatment. I often refer to the therapy process as a playground because a playground is a safe place to explore and learn; so is therapy. Together we will explore and better prepare you to handle the emotions and difficulties that brought you to therapy. I specialize in working with childhood difficulties and bereavement, although my training is diverse.

Children and teens today are suffering with overwhelming stress and anxiety. I help children, teens, and families cope with stress, anxiety, and mood disorders in a safe and confidential environment.

Together we would work toward regulating emotions and developing coping strategies that foster mental wellness.
