As a clinical psychologist in private practice for over 20 years, I am able to provide a range of psychological services including individual, couples and group psychotherapy to adults, teens and children. Therapeutic methods are chosen specifically for the individual and include cognitive-behavioral, goal-oriented, eclectic and play therapy strategies. I have worked extensively in the following areas: ADHD, depression, anxiety, panic, obsessive compulsive disorder, Asperger's, stress management, adoption issues, grief and interpersonal relationships.

I believe that the challenges of life--the painful events and feelings which bring a person to therapy--constitute an opportunity for growth, and my practice is dedicated to helping patients achieve that growth in all areas: emotional, mental, physical and spiritual. My methods are holistic and eclectic, and include work with significant others and family members. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which client and therapist work together for the client's growth.

I see therapy as a collaborative process every step of the way- from goal setting through achieving goals. I believe that each individual, couple, and family has a different way to relating to the world, and I treat each client based on their individual needs. We work together to identify strengths, and focus on what we know is already working. Then, together, we face challenges and build new skills to accomplish goals. I use therapeutic techniques that are designed to meet those goals (e.g. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-CBT, Family Systems, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy-DBT).
