"Are you a parent of a child/teenager experiencing difficulties and you find yourself wondering what you can do to help them? It seems like you have tried everything and nothing seems to work or isn't long lasting. Early childhood-young adulthood can be difficult; their personalities change and you fear that they might not overcome their challenges. Not only do I work with teens and children, but also adults who are experiencing life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and family issues. It can be nerve-racking to reach out to a counselor because you want to ensure you find someone who you can truly connect with. "

"I have a concentration of clients among college age students, and young adults. I specialize in eating disorders, and related issues. I also have a strong background in the performing arts, and see a significant number of creative clients. For twelve years I worked in a college counseling center. This has afforded me the opportunity to work with students who struggle with the concerns of people in their late teens, early twenties: depression; anxiety; ADD; OCD; substance abuse (as well as the more common issues surrounding living away from home, roommates, academic rigor, awaking sexual identity, etc.)"

"If you need direction and support solving a disturbing problem or managing an emotional state, I know that addressing this need quickly is important. I will meet with you within two to three days of your call. My approach to therapy is to focus initially on solving the problem in partnership with you quickly and efficiently. If this does not bring sufficient relief, I invite my clients into a longer deeper process of understanding the situation and its complexities. I encourage the use of communicating via email between sessions. I have evening and Saturday hours available to insure accessibility"

"Together we will explore the events and patterns that have shaped your life in order to understand your current situation. As connections are made between past and present, you gain insight and perspective in a way that helps you to manage things more effectively. New skills replace old ways of coping in an approach that balances exploration with teaching practical and concrete ways to manage distress. My aim is for you to feel supported, understood and encouraged to learn more about yourself in order to experience your struggles differently."

"For over 30 years I've been helping people overcome obstacles that seem insurmountable. I have special expertise in the treatment of anxiety, depression, addiction, and emotional issues related to physical illness. My dual background in Public Health and Social Work enables me to help people who have both emotional and health problems. I'm a strong advocate for family, peer and community support when acceptable to my clients."
