I currently work with adolescent, adult, and elderly populations.
My primary goal for psychotherapy places an emphasis on developing a strong, empathic, and collaborative therapeutic relationship with my clients, as I believe this is essential in facilitating the process of change. Through working with my clients to explore sources of emotional conflict, effective strategies to cope with life's various stressors are developed, thereby enhancing personal growth. Whether it is coping with life transitions, sources of anxiety or depression, relationship issues, or health concerns, I strive to help my clients overcome the obstacles that have impeded upon achieving their life goals.

If you are a teen who is feeling anxious, depressed, or socially isolated, an adult who is in a life transition, be it a loss of a loved one, a divorce, career change, or simply questioning your life purpose, please reach out.
I have an extensive background working with children and families. I believe most conflicts within a relationship comes down to effective communication skills, and an openness to look at one's own needs for self-growth. Our early childhood experiences, most often shape our belief systems, and these beliefs may not be moving us in the direction of our dreams and goals. Fear of failure, fear of judgement, fear of change, is often the cause for dreams unrealized. Those I work with should have a strong desire for change, and be willing to sit with their emotions, practice skills learned in session, and commit to living their best lives

I understand that the decision to seek psychotherapy is usually not under the most desirable of circumstances and is a choice that not only takes willingness and courage, but requires a considerable time and resource commitment. While people engage in psychotherapy for help with various challenges, for it to be beneficial, I believe of precedence is the fit between therapist and client. This foundation allows us to explore vulnerabilities, process difficult emotions and experiences, and come up with creative solutions to problems together.

Stress, sadness, anxiety, relationship problems, loss, and challenges at school and work are problems we all face as human beings at one time or another. Yet, life doesn't come with an instruction manual, and finding happiness and well-being often seems difficult if not impossible. However, I believe that by understanding some simple principles about the mind and its functioning allows us to tap into our innate wisdom and common sense, make healthier choices, overcome challenges and experience more peace and contentment. I believe change happens in the present through insight, education and understanding, not by delving into the past.

Wise ones have advised, "Know thyself." My work as a therapist is to assist you to do just that...to help you learn about yourself, but to learn with much more compassion and empathy than you've likely allowed yourself before. Whether you are seeking couple's, individual, or family therapy, I will work with you to understand the issues you name more fully. We will then identify resources, strategies, and tools you can use to address and manage those issues more effectively. I utilize psychodynamic, CBT, EMDR, mindfulness-based, and relational approaches, and attempt to offer a holistic perspective.

I would like to to let my future clients know that for over thirty years I have offered compassionate, solution focused therapy to individuals, couples and families who are changing their lives. Many experienced trauma, a painful loss or difficulty in becoming true to themselves. For some, anxiety, depression or debilitating anger create roadblocks to happiness and connection. Others may be managing health issues, having problems with communication, intimacy, gender identification or sexual behavior concerns. It continues to be a privilege and an honor to be asked to walk with them through to happier, more fulfilled lives.

Most of us want to be in connection. We want to be known and acknowledged for our strengths and contributions and to be safely understood for our vulnerabilities. How can this happen? Supportive work in therapy brings that knowing awareness into play. We build trust; we listen more. Mutual respect replaces resentments, anger, and the defeat of resignation. There emerges readiness to experience comfort, ease in interactions, and confidence to handle life's situations with increased skill. Intimacy, vibrancy, and laughter naturally find a place again in our experience of each other and in the ups and downs of life.

Teen Therapists

What does therapy for teenagers look like?

When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?

There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?

You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
