Has the life you are living become overwhelming or filled with worries? Are you struggling to balance work, family, or relationship or life issues? Perhaps your child is facing their own burdens at school or at home, and you know they are not thriving. Then this is the time to reach out and accept help for you or your child. In a warm, caring, safe environment, we can explore ways to find solutions to the stress you are experiencing. My 25 years of experience in helping adults, families and children reclaim joy will help you heal as well.
While I specialize in treating children and teens, I devote half my practice to adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, eating disorders, ADD, and marital therapy. My kid friendly office provides a great environment for children to talk and play through problems, and for adults to rediscover joy.
I believe an experienced, competent, warm therapist can promote change, and that every patient deserves the opportunity to grow and heal, especially children. I use play therapy, DBT, CBT and family therapy as my methods for cultivating change for the good in thoughts, attitudes and behaviors for children and adults.
