I offer a relaxing, nonjudgmental environment where we can begin to develop rapport and build the therapeutic relationship. I am aware that clients have a choice of clinician and without rapport, clients may have a difficult time finding the comfort level needed for personal growth. I provide therapeutic services to adolescents, adults and families who are struggling with anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral management, relationships, and other related social/emotional issues. In addition, I have extensive experience working with adolescents struggling with issues related to ADHD, Executive Functioning, learning disabilities and related school issues.

I have worked in the human services field for over 20 years and in many different capacities. My work has generally focused on teens and children during transitional points in their lives. I practice with the respect and validation that many children do not get, but need. Working and collaborating with schools and caretakers is a foundation of the work I do along with an expectation of continued contact with both schools and families throughout the work.

The stressful world in which we live often leaves us feeling overwhelmed and struggling to manage the demands placed upon us. You may experience irritable moods, anxiety, depression, or unable to find joy in things. Your relationships may be affected and you may find you are unable to be the person you once were and know you can be. It is my goal, as a therapist, to create a warm, supportive, understanding, and collaborative partnership with clients. My clinical expertise includes: working with high functioning adults, people struggling with serious mental illnesses, and individuals with developmental disabilities.

I help people cope with distress arising from past or current situations.
Major life changes can be overwhelming. It can be particularly difficult when balancing the challenges of relationships, having a family, dealing with learning issues at school, or receiving a diagnosis.
I will work with you by developing insight into problems, assisting in change, and providing support as needed.
Starting the process of receiving help for personal issues can be difficult. Together we will pursue excellence in care and work hard to maintain uncompromising standards to meet individual goals.

Most of my clients, both individuals and couples, come to me seeking to have their perspectives understood, so they can better understand themselves and their relationships. As this occurs, they are able to significantly improve the quality of their lives. I seek to create an atmosphere that promotes respect, understanding, responsibility, compassion, and creativity as people strive to live their lives consciously in ways that help them achieve the goals most important to them. To this end, I strive to have the utmost respect for the uniqueness of every individual and couple that I treat.

Life is hard. None of us gets through unscathed. There are journeys to take, decisions to make, losses to endure. Sometimes confusion reigns. Sometimes we get stuck ... at work, within personal relationships, with our children. I am passionate about helping people understand themselves better, and figure out how to face their issues. I believe that problems have their roots in the past, and that uncovering the origins of your feelings will allow the healing to begin. Ultimately, it IS possible to feel stronger, improve your sense of Self, deepen relationships and rediscover your sense of well-being and optimism.

It is my honor and delight to assist people in using their own wisdom to balance their lives. Clients say I am easy to be with and talk to, and I do not judge.

My professional goal is to provide a comfortable, non-judgmental and protected place in which we can explore your life and your concerns freely.

It is my privilege to help my clients navigate life's daily struggles and major transitions. Specifically, I work with clients experiencing depression and anxiety, as well as clients seeking to learn better coping skills, communication techniques and problem-solving strategies. As a trained divorce mediator, I am particularly passionate and well versed in the complicated process of divorce. From individual healing and decision-making to parenting and co-parenting, I am passionate about helping people manage this transition with grace, strength and mindfulness. I recognize that each person who walks through my door is a complex individual with a unique story to tell.

Contentment and happiness can often feel elusive in the busy, complicated lives that we lead. Sometimes, understanding the reason for our unhappiness seems just as elusive. The way we feel about our true selves as well as the meaning we give certain events in our lives can effect how we cope with the challenges that come our way. Often, we find ourselves in situations that feel beyond our control to recover from. Deep down, you are resilient, and know life could feel better than it does.

I have been a licensed clinical social worker for over twenty years. I enjoy helping others reach their potential, and I see therapy as a journey. Whether it be short-term or long-term, my ability to build rapport and trust enables my clients to work on their issues openly in a collaborative manner. It is important to know that you are the author of your story and it is equally important to define your goals. My approach is to encourage self-discovery and to help provide other perspectives and coping strategies to enhance your life. It's about skill-building and managing new situations using new coping mechanisms, not old ones.
