I work with individuals with social learning deficits. My clients are often very bright young people (above average IQ) who tend to get along better with adults or younger children rather than with peers; they interrupt, have trouble holding balanced conversation (tend to monologue or don't contribute), struggle with losing, have difficulty maintaining emotional regulation and impulse control, are inflexible, have strong language abilities but have difficulty with perspective taking, want to engage with others but often get stuck or left out, have trouble with problem-solving, and/or executive functioning.

Whether its families, couples or individuals, I bring my enthusiasm and warmth to each person I work with. In therapy with me you won't be bombarded by psycho-babble or heady interpretations.

Together we will slow down, get grounded and deeply consider what you want for yourself and look at what is getting in the way. I am passionate about helping you see your strengths and fortifying areas that need reinforcement. I also offer support to parents struggling with family life.

I am a seasoned psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience. The majority of my work is with people who are working to overcome anxiety, depression, relationship problems, job stress, addiction, and life transition concerns that are interfering with their ability to live a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Licensed and trained as a clinical psychologist and a MFT, I work with both individuals and couples, using a collaborative and active approach.

Through questions, interpretations, insights and humor, individual and/or couples feel safe to explore their particular dynamics. I help each individual understand what can and cannot be changed and work from there. Couples will learn to regulate emotions and reactions and to manage problems more effectively so each can feel heard, understood and validated. My approach also works for individuals who feel like they are bystanders in their own lives. If passivity is getting in your way and someone else is making choices for you, I can help by providing the structure for change that will help you feel more self-aware and competent.
