Hello and welcome to my profile. As a family therapist for over twenty-five years, I have learned what may work best for my clients, and I'm passionate about what I do. I often work with young people from age thirteen through their late- twenties, and anyone suffering loss, especially the loss of a pet. Perhaps because I still have vivid memories of my young self, and believe the animal-human bond is so strong these topics have special meaning for me. Subspecialties include trauma and stress management, parenting and support for caregivers.

Having worked as a secondary teacher, young people find me approachable and easy to trust. At a time when they're moving toward self sufficiency, a competent and compassionate therapist can make a big difference in helping them gain inner awareness while discovering a toolbox of daily coping skills.

My approach is encouraging and optimistic. My use of Solution Focused Therapy allows clients to understand how their past successes can solve present day challenges. My hours include Saturdays, and if needed, a statement for out of network insurance is offered.

Work with Teens and Young Adults

My goal is to create a warm, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I work with clients struggling with feelings related to their relationships with family or friends. Many of them leave my sessions just a little bit more knowledgeable and a bit more grounded. I find there's often a lifting of symptoms even after the first session.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate way I can help you. Brief Solution Focused Therapy looks at what worked in the past and how we can use some of those solutions to help you now. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which allows you see how your thoughts affect your emotions. Most sessions are optimistic and hopeful.
