We all know life can be tough, and this is especially true for adolescents and young adults in our increasingly turbulent world. My practice, Arete Psychological Services, is designed to address the special needs of adolescents, young adults, and their families. "Arete" is the ancient Greek word for excellence in all aspects of personhood. In the spirit of this idea, I am deeply committed to assisting young people capitalize on what is healthy and resourceful in their nature, in enabling them to use their existing abilities more effectively, to develop new life skills, and mature in positive directions.

I believe that change requires a willingness to understand oneself, a commitment to be mindful of therapy work (and homework) between sessions and an acceptance that you are the primary force in changing your problems.

My experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples over the past 40 years has demonstrated that no challenge is impossible, no situation hopeless. I see people dealing with issues typical of their phase of life, their relationships, their families, their use of substances, and/or mental illness ranging from the mild to the severe. Because I see people of all ages (16 and up) with all kinds of reasons for coming to see me, I'm best thought of as a general practitioner. I am, however, developing an increasing interest in working with the trans and gender diverse.

I am a warm, straightforward therapist focused on providing effective treatment. I work to connect genuinely with each of my patients because I believe the first component of effective treatment is the formation of a trusting, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. With this relationship as the foundation, we can then collaboratively determine your goals and take measurable steps to achieving the change you want in your life. I specialize in the treatment of adolescents and young adults struggling with depression, sexual and gender identity, suicidality, emotion regulation, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship problems, family issues, academic and occupational stress, and life transitions.
