I am well trained as a licensed Clinical Psychologist with more than 20 years of experience providing individual therapy to children, adolescents and adults. I strive to create a genuine relationship with my clients to allow for collaborative exploration of the areas in their lives that interfere with personal fulfillment. My approach also involves listening actively, building trust, being curious, providing empathy, and making direct comments to help my clients develop greater awareness about themselves and the patterns in their lives that cause emotional distress or relationship difficulties. This allows my clients to grow and to live more meaningful lives.
My particular areas of focus include: individual child, adolescent and adult therapy, adoption, and working with LGBTQQIA2S youth, adults, and families. In my work with youth, I work closely with parents or guardians to address parental concerns and strengthen parent-child relationships. With young children, I provide play therapy.
What distinguishes me as a therapist is being very personable, approachable, and warm. I have a strong capacity to connect with and form meaningful relationships with my child, adolescent and adults clients. I am very capable at helping my clients cope with those areas that cause them distress and confusion.
