I spent the last 27 years working with adolescents in a High School setting so I have a lot of experience with various
adolescent
issues and school related problems.
People sometimes experience difficulties and challenges and need support and advice on how to cope and move ahead in life. They want to be less stressed and capable of making appropriate choices.

I have specific programs for the treatment of anxiety, depression, parenting, eating disorders, marital and couple conflict, child and
adolescent
behavior issues and parenting elderly parents.
The journey of life is one filled with joy, happiness, sadness, disappointments, loss and renewal. I feel my goal as a psychologist is to enable a child,
adolescent
, young adult, and adult find the strength to review life's troubling issues and form new perceptions which enables different outlooks on problems. I feel the only problems in life are situations that can not be resolved. Many times the resolutions are not what we thought life would offer us, but that is what we have.

The early bird catches the worm! Which means that the earlier you start focusing on finding solutions to problems in your life and/or that of your family and child, the sooner you will restore balance and tranquility in your life, even in these troubled times. In my long career as Educator, School Psychologist, Mental Health Counselor and Early Intervention Specialist, I have rarely come upon a problem which could not be resolved, through interventions or therapies. My unique training and experiences allow me to see issues and obstacles in a holistic manner. I derive great satisfaction in helping my clients attain their goals.

I see therapy as an endeavor in which you and I work to explore obstacles in the way of your happiness. Painful relationships or critical self-judgments can impair your resiliency and motivation to effect the changes you'd like to see in your life. I can offer you a way to think about yourself, in an environment of trust, which will help you to fully inhabit and direct your life. Depression and anxiety, stress at work and at home can challenge the core of our lives. I will work with you to resolve these issues and achieve your goals.

Therapy can be short-term or long-term, there are always effective strategies. I provide a safe and comfortable setting to facilitate growth and self awareness. I teach coping skills that will lead to lasting independence. In addition, I urge my clients over time to become introspective, explore their actions, and to eradicate unhealthy behavioral patterns.

Have you ever wondered why you think, feel, and act in the ways that you do? Are you interested in developing a greater understanding of yourself and learning strategies to help you feel better? If you answered ‘yes’ to either of these questions, you’re in the right place. Being curious about ourselves and others is a central focus of therapy. In gaining greater understanding and compassion for ourselves we can change our patterns of thinking, reduce distressing emotions, and interact in healthier ways with the world around us.

Over the years my team and I have helped individuals and couples through many life stages find meaning and direction. By providing feedback and reflections with kindness, sensitivity and humor, we built good psychotherapeutic relationships with respect and trust. You too can find safety and comfort during our time together in order to maximize your growth, and work toward feelings of well-being and satisfaction. Since no one person is the same, there is no one way to do psychotherapy. Your individuality will always be respected as we are sensitive to your culture, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and family background.

Teen Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
