Serving people for 30 years in various settings (hospitaIs, schools, outpatient), I have learned what skills, attitudes, and attributes contribute to our sense of well-being and purpose and what boosts our confidence in handling life challenges. Youth as well as adults will understand the connection between feelings, behaviors and thoughts and modify those that don't work well for them. Whether a crisis, divorce, or relationship problem at home or school, difficulty being the parent or partner you wish, or self-sabotaging behaviors, I will help you harness these situations, and use them as springboards to becoming the person you most want to be.
I work with young children on difficulties with behavior, toileting, social skills, family transitions, etc; adolescents on self-esteem,anxiety, depression, social skills, college prep, self-injury, eating issues, etc.; couples with concerns around infidelity, intimacy, trauma, loss, divorce and parenting plans etc; and adults with a wide array of concerns.
I use cognitive and behavioral strategies and a family systems perspective. My work is always informed with mindfulness-based strategies and current research.
