My passion is to help strengthen the relationship between parent and child.

This disconnect coupled with the pressures of school issues, can manifest in your teen through behaviors such as anger, anxiety, depression, self-identity crisis, and even self harm.

Throughout my 25 years as a therapist, I have focused on issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, self harm, suicidal thoughts, and oppositional/defiance. Many of my clients also describe themselves as Neurodivergent. No matter what the issues may be, I find that people often start therapy because they feel stuck and are seeking ways to move forward. We work together to develop concrete goals such as making a new friend or just getting out of bed everyday. Other clients in my practice are searching for a safe place to work through their pain. Whatever your starting place, you are welcome here.

My treatment philosophy is based on the belief that the practice of self-discovery creates more room for you to live your life to its fullest potential. Unfortunately, mental, emotional and relationship challenges can severly impeed your efforts. By weaving together behavioral, cognitive, developmental, personality and systems theories of psychology; many of the challenges can be resolved. In addition, the spiritual beliefs and religious traditions of each individual are explored. For many, this experience facilitates living more authentically and cultivates a compassionate understanding of self with a spirit of confidence that paves the way for greater accomplishment in all aspects of life.

Life transitions (personal and occupational) often result in challenges. Many of us become sad with grief and loss or face new challenges creating stress and anxiety.

My hope for each client is restoration of her/his highest level of functioning. With my skills, and experience I partner with clients to facilitate their goal- whether that may be symptom relief, behavioral changes, problem resolution or personal insight and understanding.
