We all would like our lives to be deeply satisfying, with good relationships, a sense of belonging, and a feeling like we are contributing members of society. However, sometimes we lose our way. We experience a loss of connection to ourselves or with others, we maintain beliefs and behaviors that were once helpful but now no longer serve us, or we get stuck in relationships that lack mutuality and intimacy.
As a clinical psychologist with over fifteen years experience, I use a variety of techniques as we journey together help you:

Anxiety, depression, and relational conflicts are what I and my associates' work with Most. Life is a journey with many transitions. Each one of the transition means going from something we know to something we don't. We are excited or apprehensive about what our future holds for us. And, we can be relieved or sad about what or who we are leaving. These life transitions can be challenging or enriching. Whatever they are they can be stressful. Behavioral health providers focus on being a guide to help you on your journey to understand and choose the right path for you while supporting you in your process of change.

We are a child and family psychology practice. My associates and I believe in a cooperative treatment experience where client and therapist share responsibility for the identification and mutual direction of problem solving strategies. We are convinced of the importance of involving significant others in the treatment process when possible. Often children and adolescents react to problems in the context of school and family. We value feedback from teachers and staff professionals and look for collaborative relationships in pursuing the best needs of the child or adolescent.

I work from a collaborative approach to therapy, and view the therapeutic relationship as a journey that we embark upon together, as a team. I am down-to-earth, genuine, loyal and honest. Most of my clients tell me I am a lot like them or a "real" person. I believe in, promote and teach a work/life balance that people desire. My approach is client-centered yet interactive. I believe in the"Golden Rule"; treat others how you would want to be treated. I also love to laugh! Although therapy can be difficult at times, it can be fun.

Change can be difficult, particularly when you are struggling with the stressors of life. Therapy can seem daunting when you already have so much going on. However, it does not have to be. Psychotherapy can help you clarify thinking, gain insight into past experiences that may be adversely impacting current circumstances, develop a plan, and increase your ability to handle and cope with the challenges of life. I have helped many people make the changes they needed to improve their mood, relationships, and overall functioning.

For over a decade I have worked with Adult and Adolescent Patients coping with various Life Challenges. I maintain a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship with my Patients as they negotiate their identified challenge areas. Specific areas of focus within my practice are Life Stage Challenges; Grief and Loss; Fertility and Postpartum; and Anxiety and Depression. Over the last five years, I have incorporated Animal Assisted Psychotherapy with my Canine Co-therapists. While not all sessions are appropriate for Animal Assisted Psychotherapy, the addition of Canine Co-therapists has been met with positive feedback.
