My approach is cognitive behavioral therapy ( CBT) in focus, as it is best supported by research, children and adolescents respond to it very positively, and because I have found it to produce immediate and long-lasting improvements in functioning.
I also conduct comprehensive assessments in: 1) psychological functioning: deficits in social, emotional, and/or behavioral ability 2) educational functioning: intelligence, achievement, learning disabilities. These assessments are ideal for informing school placement decisions, obtaining academic accommodations, and determining domains of difficulty that require intervention.

For more than two decades, I have used a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy with my patients.
Navigating life's obstacles can be overwhelming. People start therapy for different reasons. Sometimes people come in to see me during a period of transition -starting or ending school or work; moving to a new city; beginning or leaving a relationship-. At times, people feel stuck, frustrated, uncertain, or slightly out of step. Maybe you may find yourself hitting the same walls in friendships or relationships repeatedly. Perhaps you feel lost or you long for “something more” but have no clue what’s missing. I will work with you to help you find what you really want and deserve for your life. More information in my website.

I use techniques such as motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and insight-oriented psychotherapy in my practice to help people better understand the nature of the difficulties they have been facing and make lasting progress towards their personal goals.
A number of things can get in the way of us having the life that we want. My role in therapy is to help clients think through strategies to better enable themselves to navigate the transitions and the difficult circumstances they encounter to ultimately become the person they want to be. Therapy is about living an authentic life by taking action on the things that matter most to us, living in the direction of what we see as valuable, and engaging fully in what we do. Let me help you become "unstuck" from old patterns and develop the tools to live a more satisfying life. You do not have to figure this out on your own.
