"Are you trying to grow your family and had no idea it would be this hard? Your friends and family seem to be able to get pregnant right away and you are left disappointed month after month. Your disappointment has turned into deep sadness, isolation and at times, despair. Getting pregnant has become all you can think about and you and your partner are finding it hard to connect over anything else. If you have turned to doctors for help, you have become overwhelmed by the options, the medications and the lab work. You find yourself on an emotional rollercoaster."

"I believe psychotherapy is an interactive process. Therefore, I am an active participant with my patients, offering my opinions and sharing my thoughts.
I think people can begin to change in a fairly short amount of time if they put forth the effort. Although I have worked with people over long periods of time, most patients can move forward succesfully once they understand their issues and have started down a more productive path.
Through active listening, compassion, and trust I have taken part in a process where people create the lives that they want from lives that have been miserable."

"I have been working with children and adolescents for over 20 years, specializing in anxiety, ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and other areas of difficulty that children experience. There are many reasons a family seeks services for their child, and it is important for the family to feel that the therapist understands them, their child, and the needs of the family. I seek to gain this understanding, recognizing the fact that all children and families are unique, and that each individual has strengths to draw from to overcome the identified concerns."
