"Often, children have used up their own problem solving tools leading to complicated behaviors and situations...they may misbehave, act out at home or school, and have trouble with friends. I utilize play, art, sand, books, and interactive talk therapy to create a safe, compassionate, and dynamic approach to help children cope with difficult emotions and find solutions to their problems. I encourage the healing power of the family to help children and adolescents develop, as children often respond best when their significant family members participate in therapy. Treatment can range from a few appointments to long-term support."

"I have been practicing psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and couples therapy for over twenty five years. I believe that clients are generally hoping to better understand their emotions/actions in order to develop a stronger sense of self and to achieve more satisfying personal relationships and careers. While I have completed five years of postdoctoral training geared toward working with highly motivated, insight oriented patients, I have worked in many different communities with diverse populations and am quite comfortable with assisting men, women and children from all walks of life in achieving their personal goals for growth."

I work with individuals, couples and families to identify and change how they are interacting to achieve better relationships and outcomes-to help you lead happier, healthier, more contented lives. I enjoy working with people on the myriad of issues during the course of a relationship and family life--in life in general. I'm also dedicated to working with addictions issues and recovery from any addictions issues. Let's meet and discuss how we can work together to meet your goals."

"We all can benefit by talking to someone at one time or another in our lives. Sometimes it's just hearing ourselves talk about our problems or concerns that triggers that "lightbulb" experience. I offer my clients a safe, respectful and confidential atmosphere to address life issues. Whether they are relational, trauma-related, depression or anxiety, or substance abuse issues, together we can work toward improved functioning, personal growth and well being."

"Do you ever wonder why your reaction to a situation is stronger than you'd like it to be? You feel overwhelmed, you know you are overreacting, but can't seem to do anything different, no matter how hard you try. If so, then we should talk. There are some valid techniques we can use to create that change. If your emotion to something feels bigger than it should, then there are probably some outdated, limiting beliefs operating beneath the surface. I love to help people identify and change beliefs and reactions that no longer serve them. "

"I have a solo practice treating late adolescents (16+) and adults. In addition to individuals psychotherapy I also work with couples. I have over twenty years of experience in the field and attempt to work with people to help them resolve their difficulties. I utilize various approaches including cognitive-behavioral therapy, but feel that the most important element of therapy is the connection that is made with the therapist. I also work with individuals struggling with alchohol and substance abuse."

"I provide a safe, trustworthy environment in which individuals, couples, and families are able to explore the challenges that prompt them to seek therapy. As a deep listener, I enjoy helping people clarify their concerns and find effective solutions. I infuse what can be serious and heavy work with humor and energy, to shift out of a focus on problems, into a focus on strengths and solutions. Similarly, my coaching, supervisory, and training style is collaborative, empowering, strength-based, and solution-focused."
