I work with children with learning, behavioral and emotional needs and their parents. If you are struggling with your child's behavior, feel that your family and friends do not understand your child or are judging your parenting, and have "tried everything," I would like to offer a safe place for you and your child to talk and get support. If you have concerns with your child's learning process and suspect that your child may have a learning disability, ADHD, or Autism, a psychological evaluation can help to identify strengths and weaknesses, factors that impede learning, and may result in a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

I taught Deaf children for 3-4 years.
My ideal client is one seeking to find their own personal identity. I use a combination of theoretical approaches to accommodate the specific needs for each client. I always start with a client centered approach to build a trusting relationship. Once that is established I move into a psychoanalytic approach (counselor and client work to understand the inner life of the client through deep exploration of unconscious and past experiences). Once connections from the past and present are acknowledged, and understood, I end therapy using a reality based approach (focusing on the things in life we can control).

My first mentor in the field of counseling told me, “You can't take anyone to where you've never been.” This sage advice has stayed with me for the 30-plus years that I have had the privilege of operating in this profession. These words have encouraged me to continue my own journey of self-exploration and healing and then, in turn, helped me to be more equipped to offer and support in the healing relationships that I have been privileged to play a role in over the years. Children, adolescents, and families have been a particular area of focus and expertise for me. From working in traditional outpatient settings to inpatient settings

Whether it’s addressing unhealthy thoughts/ behaviors, better managing emotions/reactions, improving academic/work performance, strengthening relationships, or establishing a more positive outlook, my passion is working with children, adolescents, and adults by meeting them where they are in various aspects of their lives and helping to foster real change.
Often times, people have a preconceived notion of what therapy is, and what it is not, which may raise questions such as "Can therapy truly help me or my loved one?" and “Will my therapist really understand who I am and where I would like to go?”. To those questions, I can say, yes! Therapy is often described as a journey, and getting started can help you or your loved one get to the desired destination. I hope that I can assist in this deep process, especially knowing how scary this can be for so many of all ages!

I have an unusual background for a psychotherapist. Before I started my counseling career, I worked as a TV news reporter, an online media executive, and an adjunct college professor. This diverse experience in journalism, business, and education has given me valuable skills that I use in my counseling practice. My sense of humor is another important part of my counseling style. I take my work with clients seriously, but there are times when therapy needs to include some humor. I also offer life coaching for clients who want to make some changes but don't know where to start.
