I am a clinical psychologist with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I provide child, adolescent and individual therapy. I provide support for developing coping skills, improving self-esteem, managing relationships, working to resolve family issues, and overcoming life's obstacles. Whether you are seeking a healthier lifestyle or dealing with the unexpected I can help.

I specialize in three areas: couples counseling/relationship counseling, parenting issues, and play therapy for children. My professional experience has concentrated on helping all types of couples: single, married, and married with children. I am a certified Co- Parenting Specialist, which is a specialization that addresses parenting issues that arise from divorce. I am also a Play Therapist with substantial training in play therapy as well as many years of experience working with children, including classroom experience both before and after becoming a licensed therapist.

My practice is focused on relationship issues, improving communication, addiction counseling, men's issues, LGBTQ+ parenting , depression and anxiety. In therapy you will find a strength-based client centered approach, where your unique skills and values are used to help overcome the areas in which you are stuck. A genuine respect for each person leads to a safe therapeutic alliance through which growth, healing and connection occurs as we work towards accomplishing your goals.

I've had the joy of working with children and families for 15 years. I also am the founder/owner of "Preventative Health for Happy Families!" which houses 7 clinicians all with varying expertise and years of experience. We embrace the philosophy of resiliency and take a strength based approach to motivate change. This process works to remove barriers to family closeness and overall happiness. In session, we help with the development of basic life skills: management of difficult feelings, stress reduction, effective communication, parenting techniques, practical goal-setting, or improved problem solving. The end result? Thriving individuals, satisfied couples, cohesive families and happy children!

Is your child having behavioral problems which are interfering with school, family, or friendships? Are you wondering if the behavior is normal or if he/she will outgrow it? Kids today have pressures and expectations from all sides. As a Child Psychologist, I am concerned with helping you to be the kind of parent you would like to be while working with your child or adolescent to change his/her behavior.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, experiencing a life change, or struggling with depression or anxiety? Is your child struggling with difficult behaviors or do you simply want to improve your relationship with your child? Do you seek more inner peace, balance, or fulfillment in your life? I have clinical experience in the outpatient setting working with children, adolescents, adults, and families with anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, stress management issues, trauma, grief/loss, chronic pain/illness, substance use, parenting skills, relationship issues, self-esteem and adjusting to life transitions.

No one is an expert more on your life than you. However, sometimes inviting in trusted support helps you get perspective on your fears, disappointments, and confusion about next steps in life. No matter the season of life, asking for help is both courageous and what moves you forward. Your resiliency and your strengths are how you navigate through life’s challenges. You and your loved ones are not a diagnosis; being human is not a flaw but a strength to be honored.

Are you having difficulty with managing challenging behaviors? Do you want your child to express their needs? I specialize in using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to help children, teens, or adults diagnosed with autism and developmental disabilities reach their developmental milestones. I will create goals and model how to improve communication, daily living (e.g. getting dressed), coping, safety (e.g. crossing the street), social, play, and reduce behaviors (e.g. tantrums and aggression). I am currently accepting new clients who need intensive direct 1:1 in-home ABA services.

Do you struggle with parenting and often feel overwhelmed by all you have to do to care for your children? Do you feel alone, overwhelmed, anxious or stressed? Do you feel like you have no one to talk to or that no one will understand? I can help. Sometimes we are triggered by unresolved feelings from our own childhood and I will help you process your past experiences so that you can be fully present with your child and in all relationships in your life. Underneath every behavior, is a feeling and underneath every feeling is a need, and I will help you find what your child needs; and help you find what you need, too!

Do you struggle with what to do to "manage" your child's behavior? Do you find yourself triggered by your child's actions? Are you interested in taking a more peaceful/positive parenting approach, but aren't sure how to make it work with your child? As a Registered Play Therapist with over 20 years of working with children and families, I specialize in helping overwhelmed parents learn strategies to lovingly set limits, build connection, and heal intergenerational wounds that can impact parenting .

As a therapist and parenting coach, I have devoted my career to helping people change their lives in positive ways. These changes can involve assisting parents in altering the problematic behavior of their children, coaching to achieve life goals, or overcoming troublesome habits. I use a positive, solution-oriented approach to maximize performance and help people solve the problems in their lives. I use a combination of individual, couples and family based work to allow the whole family to be part of the solution.

It takes courage to set up your first therapy appointment, and it can be challenging to find the “right fit” in a therapist. With the right fit, you can determine: the struggles you have and ways to overcome them, what is important and meaningful in your life, how to feel better and heal from bad memories, and how to communicate better with loved ones. These are often the goals of therapy. They may seem simple, but sometimes we struggle and spend years feeling unhappy or unfulfilled. I have worked with clients for 27 years helping people find their clarity and truth and welcome your call to determine if I'm the "right fit" for you.

Do you feel constrained by the demands of your problem? Is it affecting your relationships, your profession, or your overall satisfaction with life? You hold the power to bring the change you seek. I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families on a wide variety of issues, including relationship issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, parenting , academic/work-related stress, identity development, acculturation, couple and family dynamics. In my work with children, I privilege a playful approach, so to tap into your distinct family resources.
