Are you having trouble finding help for your middle schooler or teen? Is your teenager difficult-to-reach? Oppositional? Out-of-control? Resistant to therapy? Working with challenging kids is a passion of mine! Give me the opportunity to connect with your son or daughter, and then equip you as parents with the skills you need to bring order to your home and rebuild your family relationships. Your middle schooler or teen will discover an environment here that is safe, productive, and often quite fun!
With roughly 25 years of experience in private practice, I have treated both children and adults for a wide range of issues including: oppositional behavior, family conflict, aggressive acting-out, social problems, bullying, phobias, addictions, separation anxiety, high-conflict divorces, mood disorders, suicide prevention, and high functioning autism.
Alongside family counseling, I also enjoy caring for artists. With a background in art and philosophy, I find it extremely satisfying to understand the artist's unique values and world-view. The artist's sensitive and/or "out-of-sync" experience with life can often, paradoxically, empower artistic self-expression.
