About
I provide individual and family therapy for children, adolescents and adults. I work to develop a trusting relationship with each individual based on acceptance, understanding and mutual respect. Since I have expertise in a variety of treatment approaches, I can collaborate with each individual or family to provide treatment that aligns with the individual or family goals and needs. The process of healing and growth often involves gaining more understanding of oneself and one's family, learning how to draw on existing strengths and resources, gaining confidence, and/or learning new skills.
I work with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, identity confusion, illness, loss, and divorce. Other areas of interest and specialization include children and adolescents, parenting, trauma, neglect and abuse, adoption, attachment problems, learning disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD.
My approach draws on my background in psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness and attachment therapies, plus years of experience providing school-based services. As a licensed psychologist-doctorate and a yoga instructor, I am skilled in combining yoga and meditation with psychotherapy, when relevant, to address the whole person.
