"I was trained in an eclectic program and like to cater our treatment to your specific needs. I enjoy working with both adolescents and adults and have a specialty in eating disorder treatment. In addition, I have training and experience in the treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, self-injury, relationship issues and life transitions."

"I believe psychotherapy is a creative conversation that moves you in the direction of health, happiness and greater meaning in life. It can open up the potential for growth that already exists within you. For more than 25 years, I have helped adults and adolescents solve problems and cope with many of life’s challenges. I will work with you to understand and appreciate your situation and move towards achieving your goals. I will make every effort to make your therapy experience supportive, informative, healing and enjoyable."

"I have experience helping people of diverse backgrounds and identities in various stages of life, including adolescents, young adults, middle adults, and older adults, as they explore issues that arise through transitions, losses, daily stresses, and changing relationships as well as experiences of grief, trauma, family issues, identity exploration, divorce, infertility, depression, and anxiety. Different phases of life can bring new challenges or raise old concerns that we thought were behind us. I assist people in exploring their current worries in response to specific goals as well as the desire for deeper understanding."

"As a clinician who has practiced psychotherapy for over 25 years I have deep respect for the therapeutic process and the capacity of individuals to heal and grow. As an interactive therapist I will work with you collaboratively, fostering your emotional growth as we work toward mutually defined goals. I bring curiosity and compassion to the issues you bring to therapy and I will teach you to do the same. With a nonjudgmental attitude we will explore whatever is necessary to allow you to more deeply know yourself and to improve your overall sense of well-being."

"As a therapist, I work not as a "shrink" but an "enhancer," helping clients work through past problems, engage the challenges of the present, and move towards a more fulfilling future. I am client-focused rather than technique-focused because each client-therapist relationship is unique, and techniques should be employed selectively to optimize change and growth. That said, clients can expect that I will: 1) Act as a strong ally, adding emotional and intellectual energy to their efforts to change, 2) Provide insight and fresh perspective that takes them beyond their usual patterns of perceiving and responding to life circumstances."

"Change is hard. People often seek psychotherapy around change. They want to change. People in their life want them to change. Or some life change is affecting them in a meaningful way. Often, it's a combination. By working together I can help you in this challenge. I frequently work with adolescents and adults struggling with addiction in themselves or in their families. Many of my patients are addressing anxiety, depression, questions or challenges regarding their sexual orientation, infertility, life transitions, traumatic experiences or eating disorders and other compulsive behaviors. A lot of my patients are college or graduate students."

"I have been a therapist for over 30 years. I am an independent practitioner with a general psychotherapy practice. I work with adults who are coping with transition issues, self-esteem, depression, grief issues and relationship problems. I also work with couples."

"I work collaboratively with adult and adolescent clients in numerous areas: Helping to resolve relationship conflicts and frustrations, depression, anxiety/stress, trauma, improving self-confidence, finding more meaning and purpose in life, spirituality, grief /loss, parent coaching, couples and pre-marriage counseling, I have a forward-looking style and try to take a "strengths based" perspective. My clients would describe me as professional, authentic, calming, playful, and down to earth."

"PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS AT THIS TIME. As a cognitive-behavioral psychologist, I help clients understand how thoughts directly impact feelings and behaviors. Clients and I will work together to identify the automatic thoughts that accompany feelings such as anxiety, sadness, frustration, and anger. When we're anxious or upset our thoughts are often inaccurate and overly negative. When we start listening to these thoughts we can learn to replace them with more accurate and constructive ones, ultimately resulting in more positive feelings and behaviors."

"As a therapist, I strive to bring warmth and wits into sessions with my patients. My role is to help people identify patterns that are causing trouble or distress. This process involves not only trying to understand the "root" of the problem, but also looking for ways in which individuals might get stuck in problematic ways of relating to others or thinking about themselves. This can be hard work, but it has the potential to be very rewarding. In my experience, people who engage in therapy often find that old patterns can change, and new choices are able to emerge in their lives."

"In my private practice, I complete neuropsychological evaluations. I am not currently accepting therapy patients. Children and adolescents are faced with many more challenges and demands than ever before, both at school and in their community. This requires a solid understanding of what makes them who they are and how to best support them across their development. I aim to help families understand their child's unique strengths and weaknesses and to empower them to make positive change to influence their academic and social functioning."

"In therapy, the client and I enter into a collaboration to find new ways to problem-solve, reduce suffering, discover patterns and build new life paths. As part of this process, I help the client: to learn about patterns of thought and behavior, to learn to be with unpleasant experiences instead of avoiding them or grasping for something else, and to practice awareness, self-compassion and curiosity, habits of mind that help bring about positive change. I have a gentle, direct, and engaging approach that encourages and supports the client."

"***accepting new clients in March 2019*****Within a non-judgmental approach that is both warmly supportive and challenging, our work will typically involve some combination of self-reflection and change. We start this process together by trying to identify how your presenting concerns fit into the complex story of your life. I tend to work best with clients who share in this curiosity about themselves, because it is very difficult to resolve something until we deeply understand it. Throughout this process, I aim to enhance my clients' agency, satisfaction, and creativity within their lives."
