I specialize in providing psychotherapy and neurofeedback services to patients with OCD, Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, TBI, and migraine headaches. The commonality among these problems is that an understanding of brain functioning can inform the direction of the treatment process. I started my career working with young autistic children. I have always had some autistic patients in my caseload. Currently, I work with adults who are on the spectrum as a particular area of interest in my practice.

My goal is to help you get unstuck. You will begin to feel better just by taking the first step. Serious problems often need someone to both listen and offer alternative ways for thinking in order to make changes that last. Doing nothing and just hoping and wishing that things will get better doesn't work. I will prompt you and support you in taking concrete steps. I talk straight, listen closely and respectfully ask good questions. Starting with our first session, you will begin to figure out a new way to go. Let's talk soon about beginning.

I am a strong proponent of health-oriented and positive psychology that emphasizes what is right with people rather than what is wrong with them. My counseling work is based on the integrative approach to psychotherapy that is best characterized as going beyond and across the confines of any single orientation. I draw from different theories to form a comprehensive view of all the complexities of human conditions and emotions. The reason for this is because no one theory has all the answers that could effectively work with every individual and situation.
