I have had extensive post-doctoral training in child trauma, including child abuse and other forms of trauma, family conflict and high conflict divorce, all of which can lead to serious psychological problems for children and adolescents.
I especially enjoy working with families with school age children who are experiencing challenges related to high conflict divorce, adoption or other trauma-related issues. I like to combine parent guidance and support with play therapy for their child. My approach is active and engaged. I am also happy to see adolescents and adults who are going through transitions in their lives that may be causing them worry or anxiety.

There often comes a time when one must reach outside their immediate network of support and identify a helping professional who is skilled in supporting individuals, and helping them to move toward healing. I aim to support children, adolescents, and adults in regaining their equilibrium by applying psychotherapy via evidenced based interventions. Through treatment my clients gain greater self-acceptance, empathy for themselves & others, and unearth inner strength to tackle life's difficulties successfully.

In addition to my work with adults, I have expertise and passion for working with children, teens, and families.
Do you find it difficult to let go of painful feelings and unhealthy reactions even when you understand their roots? Are you anxious or on guard as you try to protect yourself even when you feel you *should* be happy? Sometimes overwhelming experiences get stuck in our bodies, and continue to determine our emotions, behaviors, and relationship styles despite our best efforts. Through a nurturing and interactive approach, I help individuals, families and groups shift out of these stuck places to create deep and lasting change.

If you're a parent, you've probably been to countless parent-teacher conferences where the teacher tells you all about how great your child's personality is, but that they are failing to reach their full potential in class. Maybe, you and your child spend 2-3 hours at the table EACH night, where you teach (and re-teach!) lessons, only to find your daughter still managed to fail her test the next day! Or just maybe, you're in your 1st-year college math class and can't seem to figure out how the numbers are supposed to go together because you just narrowly passed Algebra in high school and you've NEVER been good at math.
