"My belief is that therapy is a collaborative journey involving yourself and your therapist. I determine which type of intervention best suits you and your situation. It may be long term or short term, and usually involves exploring past/current family and personal relationships in order to identify how habitual patterns and interactions that are troublesome to you evolved. Behavioral Cognitive therapy is considered to be the most effective treatment in the case of depression and anxiety disorders. Please know that I am passionate about my work and look forward to working with you or with you."

"I believe my client's struggles are not always due to abnormal psychopathology, but can sometimes be normal reactions to living in a stressful, fast-paced, complex, evolving, and sometimes contradictory society. I strive to understand each of my client's issues and struggles in the context of his or her own lives rather than in reference to a theoretical model that focuses on pathology. Therefore, in our work together, I will always strive to understand you from your own life perspective(s), based on who you are, your values, your cultural beliefs, and the unique pressures and stresses you experience on a daily basis."

"You want to make changes to how you're feeling about food, physical activity and your body. Maybe you've tried a number of different diets with varying degrees of short-term success, only to discover they're not sustainable for you. Food and eating feels chaotic and there hardly ever seems like a time in recent memory where you've felt comfortable in your body. Over time, food and body image has become layered with guilt, shame, fear and anxiety. Sometimes, it feels like you might never be able to feel at peace with food and your body."

"I provide Play and Art Therapy for children 12 and under. Children express their worries, fears, and confusion in a variety of behaviors from aggression to withdrawal. With their still rapidly developing brains and language centers, children don't yet have the capacity to accurately express themselves through words. That doesn't mean that they aren't communicating! They are constantly "talking" to us through their behaviors and actions. The challenge for the caring adults in their lives is to unravel what they are trying to say through their behavior. Sometimes parents need support."

"Grappling with anxiety, depression, grief or a significant life transition can feel all consuming. Even if you have good support in your life, these experiences can exhaust your energies and feel isolating. It may be hard to see beyond a current painful time, or imagine things can feel different. The right therapy relationship, holding these challenges with care, can invite you to grow, find deeper meaning and peace, and ultimately more of yourself. Clarity increases and we bring more creative and authentic parts of ourselves to problem solving, learning and navigating life's inevitable changes and challenges."

"I take the mysticism out of therapy. We both know that not everything is "about your mother." Figuring out why you are the way you are can be interesting and even enlightening, but it's worthless if you're still experiencing the same emotional pain. You have the ability to make changes in your life. Things don't have to stay the same."
