"At its core, therapy is about supporting a life lived with awareness and choice, which is not only the best way to honor it, but also to meet the suffering that comes with it. Jung says: "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become". In a way both are true; the family we're born into, and life's events impact us deeply, and we can learn and grow through our experiences, the good and the bad, as opposed to letting them trap or control us. We can all lead lives consciously and choicefully."

"Finding a good "fit" with a therapist can have a significant impact on achieving a successful outcome. I strive to help each client discover and harness their unique strengths in addressing their problems. With children, intervention is orientated toward problem-solving family therapy. A cognitive-behavioral approach is often utilized when working with adults and teen. Psychological, and Neuropsychological Evaluations are intervention-focused. Tests chosen are "sensitive" to the diagnostic concerns and guide treatment. I help develop and implement practical behavioral management and social support strategies in real life situations, including the home , classroom or work ."

"Change is the only true constant in life. Most change does not happen without some type of catalyst. The catalyst can cause conflict or an internal struggle that leads to change. When we struggle with emotional, mental, behavioral, spiritual, or health issues, we can feel anxiety, depression, and stress. In addition, family conflict, divorce, or other traumatic experiences affect how we see ourselves and life in general. I am committed to work with you as you develop positive coping skills to successfully implement healthy changes in your life. Each person has their own unique perception of their life experiences."

"Therapy doesn't have to be long, painful, heavy or difficult. Or, for that matter, complicated. The key lies in our thinking. Our thoughts create how we feel, how we feel impacts what we do. When we change our thoughts, we change our feelings and our actions. We change how we react to and handle life. Changes in our thinking create far-reaching transformation in our lives. We will figure out together what your automatic, habitual thoughts are and what would be more skillful, representative and beneficial thoughts and actions. These discoveries are enlightening, fun and fascinating."
