My ideal clients are individuals who struggle with self-worth, trauma, or just feel stuck. Although I specialize in adolescent mental health, I also work with adults and children with the goal of drawing to the surface each individual client's unique awesomeness. For me, that moment when a client discovers and connects with his/her/their power is the ultimate success.

I am direct with both parent and child.
I work with children, adolescents, young adults and their families during periods of turmoil and crisis. Your son or daughter has become more distant; grades are less predictable; friends may have changed and there is more conflict at home. Intuitively, you know something is going on, but aren't able to reach them. This is often the time where a therapist can bridge the gap.

I enjoy working with children,adolescents, adults, and couples, as well as providing ongoing support to parents and families.
As a psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I seek to provide a nonjudgmental and nurturing environment in which you can explore your current struggles. I believe that the therapist client relationship is critical to help you effect the positive change you are looking for. Together we can explore the patterns in your life that are preventing you from living the life you want and we can work to set realistic goals. Although I am trained using a psychodynamic approach, I also utilize DBT and mindfulness to help clients cope with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and other mental health concerns.

I have experience working with all ages, including children and teens.
Making the decision to seek therapy can be difficult, whether it is for yourself, your child or a family member who is in need of support. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but strength to decide to change and be in charge of your own transformation, whatever that may be. I integrate the use of clinical Art Therapy to aid a client’s process and externalize challenges they may have, including issues of trauma, eating disorders, self-harm, grief and loss, medical trauma and major life transitions. I am dedicated to having clients feel empowered and to identify their strengths with self-acceptance and the healing process.
