My ideal client is someone whom is struggling in life and motivated to seek help and make the changes necessary in their thoughts, beliefs or circumstances to get back into wellness. I enjoy working with teens. Most of my career has been with at risk youth. I also work with women's issues, addressing underlying causes of stress and overwhelm. I use Imago and Gottman approaches with couples. When working with men, we discuss the need for vulnerability and self-acceptance. Anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss can all be successfully addressed with psychotherapy.
I specialize in anxiety and depression, using cognitive and behavioral approaches to learn life-long coping skills, as well as neuroscience and new research. Communication skills is also an area of specialty. Women's issues is an area of particular expertise. I have over 17 years of experience as a psychotherapist.
I have over 25 years of work in the social welfare and mental health fields. I have been an instructor for mindfulness and meditation, crisis and conflict management and trained in level one Gottman techniques for couples. Teen issues: depression, anxiety, self-harm and self-esteem have been a focus. Young adults gaining independence and adulthood.

I use a pretty direct approach in my therapy. It is important that we establish trust and rapport. You are checking out me as well, to ensure fit and trust. When we first meet for intake we will decide on length of treatment, frequency of sessions and approach. I assign homework in between and encourage a therapy journal is kept for our work together.
