I specialize in working with adults who are struggling with anxiety, work-life balance, relationships, and parenting.
At work, you know you’re underpaid, yet still go above and beyond for employers and colleagues who don’t appreciate it. At home, you’re the one expected to manage things and keep up with chores, while your partner only contributes when they’re directly asked. If you have kids, you feel guilty about ever needing a break. Though you think you “should” be able to handle all of this, the cumulative exhaustion you feel from a lifetime of taking on more than you have time or energy for is starting to show. Let me assure you that not only is it okay to admit you’re having a tough time — it’s the first step in actually feeling better.

I have helped people to build more satisfying relationships, to achieve more success in their careers, and to address parenting issues particularly those associated with adoption.
Do you not have enough satisfaction in your life? Do you wish you were in a relationship? Are you struggling with the one you are in? Do you wish for a better career?
Talking in a therapeutic environment helps people take more control of their lives, allowing them to experience a quality of life that was otherwise impossible. It is rewarding to see this type of change take place with my clients.

I view my role as facilitating conversations with one's self, child, parent, or spouse that are difficult to have at home.
Whether working with children, teens, adults, or families, I believe that most problems -and their solutions- are best understood in the context of relationships. I create a space where people can develop curiosity about thoughts, beliefs, and ways of interacting that feel constraining and move toward more preferred ways of being.

Using a collaborative, practical approach, I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, couple problems, parenting concerns (early childhood and adolescence), ACOA issues and the more general impact of childhood stressors on adult development.
Throughout almost 35 years as a clinical psychologist, I've been impressed that the emotional suffering affecting us all, at times, has such universal causes. Insecurities and shame connected to childhood experiences over which we've had no control can take root, damaging self-esteem and emerging in symptoms of depression, anxiety and self-destructive behavior patterns. Even without overwhelming childhood stressors, feelings of inadequacy, and once self-protective, now limiting "chains" of feeling/thinking/reacting can interfere with realizing dreams, weathering losses and meeting new life challenges in the areas of love and work.

I also provide parent-friendly workshops and Adult ADD bootcamps.
As a clinical neuropsychologist I work with clients to identify areas of cognitive strength and weakness and relate those patterns to known profiles of brain-behavior relationship. The process involves an interview, collateral contacts, and carefully selected standardized assessment of brain and emotional functioning. A neuropsychological evaluation may help identify dementia, direct therapies after traumatic brain injury, or tease out ADHD from learning disorder and other developmental conditions.
