I draw from several therapies including CBT, mindfulness therapy, psychodynamic therapy, family systems, for adolescents through young adults.
Are you concerned or confused by your child, teen or young adult's behavior? Are you worried that your child is under stress? Do you feel like you are not a good parent for your child? It is very difficult to parent a child who is struggling with challenging feelings and behaviors. I provide therapeutic support to kids who struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, adoption issues, learning disabilities, behavioral challenges, academic or social issues, or major life changes. I offer support for parents.

I have worked with adults, predominantly licensed professionals and executives and their partners work through challenging dynamics in both their personal and professional lives. Finding the motivation to create change and capitalizing on that motivation is essential to enhancing awareness and acceptance of life's struggles. You don't have to suffer to get your needs met, you just need to be open to a different way of approaching your current and past issues. I have no judgment for how you have survived to date but nothing changes if nothing changes. I'm here to collaborate with you to do things differently. I support you implicitly

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
