I approach psychotherapy as a collaboration and work in an integrative way, tailoring interventions to individual needs.

To this end, we can simultaneously engage in meaningful explorations while developing important coping skills, including mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. I offer individual, couples, and family psychotherapy to adults, children, and adolescents, and work with different family and relationship configurations.

Solutions, and a way forward, are always possible- even in the midst of conflict and frustration, hurt and anger, even when problems seem insurmountable.

Together, you can create a new understanding and begin living in a new way.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma related stressors, personality disorders, life transitions, lack of motivation, navigating relationships, body image, or self-esteem?

By becoming engaged and working with a solution-focused therapist, you will begin to uncover your child's and/or your family 's potential. You will begin to engage in a life that is worth celebrating, not merely tolerating. Throughout the growth cycles of children and adolescents, they often have many behavioral issues. This includes ADHD, unresolved stress, unsupported grief, addiction/recovery issues. Families of all types can have these ongoing struggles. Conflict resolution is paramount between family members. In addition, counseling the parents re: their own depression, anxiety or personality issues is paramount to completing the cycle of ongoing family distress.
