My formal education has prepared me to counsel individual adolescents, children, adults, groups, and the multicultural population. My approach to counseling is best described as one that is person-centered and family systems oriented. I believe people are capable of reaching their best potential given the right support and tools for change, and that whenever possible treatment should involve the family not just the individual child or adult.

I work with many issues, including anxiety, health anxiety, panic, depression, life stressors, family dysfunction, relationship issues, self-esteem, and other emotional and behavioral issues. I mainly draw from Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Holistic, Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), and Supportive therapies. I believe one of the biggest keys to success in treatment is having a connection with your therapist.

I have been in private practice for 14 years and have worked in mental health for 17 years. I have a Master's Degree in Substance Abuse Clinical Counseling and Rehabilitation Counseling. I have been a Registered Yoga Teacher for 24 years. I see clients with varying issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, OCD, PTSD, phobias, anger, stress, eating disorders, alcohol and drug addictions as well as behavioral addictions. I help people overcome trauma through body/mind work including yoga therapy. I also enjoy working with couples. The counseling process is a collaborative effort and I can help you learn tools to help yourself.

Yotaron Enrichment and Resource Center is focused on providing high-quality, evidenced-based, therapeutic interventions for youth and their families who face mental health and substance abuse challenges. We are committed to addressing the needs of children. Troubled children, adolescents, and young adults are encouraged to challenge their current thinking patterns in order to address and improve maladaptive behaviors. Coping skills, training, and coaching are available to parents on how to improve parent-child interactions and reduce parenting stress.

My treatment method is to aid in progress and provide feedback to help clients address current life challenges. My priority is to listen, understand, design therapy around my client’s needs and to help individuals find resolution to a wide range of personal concerns and psychological issues. I believe the foundation of success in therapy is based on the creation of the relationship between client and therapist. My goal is to make sure each person feels comfortable, heard, understood, and is working toward healing.

Are you feeling defeated in your current phase of life? Are you a parent of a child who is experiencing depression, anxiety, or behavioral symptoms? Recognizing that you or a loved one needs help/guidance is the hardest and biggest step, but don't let the fear of the unknown keep you from accepting that help. I take pride in utilizing a person centered approach with my clients and building off their strengths and empowering them to be the best version of themselves. If we are a good match, together we can create the foundational skills necessary to navigate life's curveballs.
