**Currently not accepting new clients** I believe that therapy can greatly encourage all of us to make healthy choices and better navigate life's obstacles. I specialize in working with children and teens, college age individuals, young adults, and families. In one on one sessions, I strive to help individuals define their thoughts, identify important emotions, and express themselves in meaningful ways that bring about change. In working with families, my goals are to identify patterns of behavior, recognize familial strengths, and suggest strategies that may allow interactions within the family to be more healthy and adaptive.

I work with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD , trauma, grief and loss, family changes, challenging peer relationships and the behaviors that can result from these issues. I have training and experience using Play Therapy and Sandplay, which employ children's natural way of communicating and learning, as well as other therapeutic modalities as appropriate to each individual. My approach is client centered and often non-directive, believing that when children experience emotional safety in a non-judgmental relationship, their inner wisdom naturally emerges to guide their learning, healing and growth.

We all experience anxiety, fear, depression or suffering - especially when faced with life transitions. Teens transitioning to adulthood; families transitioning through marriage, parenthood, divorce; individuals transitioning through career changes and aging; are all common, but often stressful experiences. These transitions also have the potential to bring joy, reflection and peace. However, we all need help sometimes to find the joy in our lives. I particularly enjoy helping adolescents and young adults find their path in this world, and believe this is a particularly critical transition.
