I am a counselor and psychotherapist experienced in helping people who are dealing with stressful events and emotional issues such as: depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns, life transitions, and ADHD and learning disabilities. My focus in therapy is to help you solve the problems that are getting in your way, so you can once again, feel better.

I am a psychologist who has provided psychotherapy and psychological testing services to children, adolescents, and adults for over 30 years. I have developed a particular interest in working with hypersensitive children and in the differential diagnosis of ADHD and Bipolar Disorder. Many of the pervasively hypersensitive children and adolescents with whom I work have come to me with a diagnosis of ADHD, but are then found, after a thorough evaluation, to have either an anxiety or mood disorder. As a therapist who works primarily with children and adolescents, I have found that when children feel understood and valued, they connect.
