Deciding to begin therapy can be a turning point in your life. I work with children, adolescents and adults using supportive and insight-oriented psychotherapy for issues related to adjustment and stress (e.g. anxiety, depression) as well as specializing in conditions that affect the brain (e.g. learning disorders, ADHD, brain injury, memory problems). As a clinical psychologist and a neuropsychologist, I have specialized dual training in brain behavior relationships and take a psychodynamic approach when working with clients therapeutically. I also integrate cognitive behavioral techniques to help my clients meet their treatment goals.

I have a unique, interdisciplinary background as a seasoned and compassionate holistic psychotherapist (individual, couples, family), divorce/family mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach. I view and treat patients as whole people, integrating Psychodynamic , CBT, DBT, wellness, and Buddhist principles into a tailored holistic approach. Together, these approaches help patients understand and change how their thoughts and emotions impact their behavior. As a mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach, I am committed to helping people avoid court and resolve their differences sensibly and compassionately. I am passionate about minimizing the negative effects of divorce and separation by fostering effective coparenting.

I treat children with a range of emotional and/or behavioral difficulties. Many of the children I see are struggling with sensory sensitivities, picky eating, toileting conflicts, separation anxiety, attachment issues, ADHD, anxiety or fears, selective mutism, depression, social conflicts or isolation, or low self-esteem. Other families in my practice seek treatment to gain support around familial conflicts that present at different developmental stages, or to assuage concerns associated with significant life changes due to divorce, bereavement, or other types of loss.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents and their families. I have a warm, non-judgmental manner and a good sense of humor, which has enabled me to form strong working relationships with my clients. I consider parents an invaluable source of knowledge about their children and I involve them collaboratively in understanding the presenting issues and in effecting change

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to live authentically and understand your own story. You can live a life that excites you. If you are working through life transitions, trauma, or are looking to deepen your understanding of yourself and enhance connection with others, I can help you on your path. Peeling the layers of trauma takes courage, strength, and inner power.

Whether your challenges arise from trauma, relationships, life transitions, loss, parenting, or work, ultimately what you may be seeking is a change in your relationship to yourself. By inviting insight into the past and respect for the present, I cultivate compassion for self, and help clients, including couples, try out new ways of being in the world while acting consistently with their most cherished values.

Life is a journey. On this journey sometimes we get derailed and need help to get back on track. I hope to help you find your way back! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who have been working in the field of Behavioral Health for the past 25 years. My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescent, and adults. I believe that we all have the ability to overcome challenges, and difficulties, which often interferes with one’s personal growth. Our early experiences, and culture, shapes who we are as individuals, how we see ourselves, and how we interact with others.

It’s okay to have mixed feelings about starting psychotherapy. I will do my best to create a warm, safe environment for us to explore what you would like to change in your life and to accept what is beyond your control. I believe everyone has internal and external resources that they can discover and leverage to help themselves feel better.
