In my years of working with children, adolescents and families, I have learned that children have incredible resiliency and an amazing capacity for growth and change- regardless of the challenges they face. Each child has their own unique gifts and strengths. As a therapist, it is my job to recognize those innate strengths and build on them in order to address whatever problems they are facing. Therapy can help a child learn how to express themselves verbally and develop positive coping skills. For teens, therapy can be a safe place to gain important insights and move towards personal goals.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Psychoanalyst specializing in long and short-term psychotherapy with adults. While each individual's unique set of circumstances requires a similarly unique treatment approach, I believe an essential goal of psychotherapy is to increase self-awareness.

A successful course of psychotherapy can be expected to improve the quality and satisfaction of one's relationships and work life, provide symptom relief and lasting change.
