As a former teacher turned therapist, I have developed a strong counseling tool box. I specialize in supporting adolescents/ teens and adults find ways to cope with trauma and loss, manage anxiety and depression, develop problem solving strategies and social skills, overcome substance abuse and low self-esteem, and manage family conflict. I am also able to help the individuals I work with to develop executive functioning and advocacy skills at school, home, and in the community. I utilize humor, unconditional positive regard, and curiosity to create a safe and productive space for you to grow.

I specialize in working with clients who have ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD. I collaborate in developing goals of treatment and help clients identify, understand and address both current struggles and the childhood roots of these struggles. This approach is especially helpful to clients who had difficult, invalidating or traumatic childhoods. I help clients: to be compassionate with themselves, to honor yet process difficult emotions, and to change behaviors. I work best with clients: who want self understanding, who appreciate a thoughtful, safe space, and, who are willing to do the work to make these changes happen.

Additionally, I offer testing/evaluation, coaching, and coordination with schools for children, adolescents or college-age students.
No one is born a parent. Parenting, and especially co-parenting, can be even more challenging when partners disagree, or when larger issues about the marriage or a divorce arise. I help parents understand how to be the best mothers and fathers they can be for their children, and how to work together to support them even under difficult circumstances.
I also work directly with couples and families experiencing conflict (together or as individuals), and can provide divorce and family mediation when needed.

(New clients welcome...) Things happen, and they happen all the times, whether or not we are aware. We act out when we don't get what we want and when we get what we don't want. Sometimes we act out in ways that are self-sabotaging. We get overwhelmed at work and in relationships. All this is normal and yet limits one's potential to be successful and happy.

Are you a parent of a child who is struggling? Do you feel like you have to do it all? You don’t have to do this alone. Humans develop in relationship to others, and we heal that way too. My focus is on childrens’ relationships with their caregivers - from processing challenging life events to managing hard feelings. The children I work with may be struggling with worry about friendships and family relationships, challenges with big emotions, doubts about their worth or appearance, academic difficulties, or navigating grief and loss. I support children in navigating these and many other challenging realities of growing up.

My ideal client is a person dedicated to making positive changes in her/his life. These adjustments may be as simple as a new hair style or as complex as brain surgery. I invite the client to tell me about himself, including hobbies and interests. What is he most proud of? What might he like to improve? What was the nicest thing anyone ever said about him? What really hurt? I encourage the client to comment on the paintings in the room and what they might have in common. They all have something to do with going somewhere. I tell them that my favorite professor at Boston College, William Meissner. S. J. said of therapy, "It's all

I'm specialized in working with children and adolescents and practice with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).
I believe strongly in that true happiness comes from inner strength within ourselves and my goal is to help my clients reach the goals they want to be committed to. An ideal client for me would be someone who has anxiety and could not get over the past or someone who is suffering from depression. I have helped many clients of mine overcome severe anxiety/depression and improve life quality.

My work with adults, couples and adolescents is tailored to embrace the unique personal histories, aspirations, cultural and religious backgrounds, sexual orientations and stages in life of my patients.
Are you burdened by worrisome thoughts, feelings or behaviors? Are you entangled in relationship patterns that trouble you and hold you back? Therapy can provide a safe, collaborative space to share and examine your most sensitive problems. Together we can think deeply about how you've come to be who you are, including how you tend to view yourself and relate to others. My approach is compassionate and genuine, gently challenging, and sometimes humorous. Over time my patients find that change becomes possible and there is opportunity for new choices and new beginnings.

Are you caught up in OCD, anxiety, or a specific phobia that is preventing you from living the life you want to live? Do you feel stuck in your own mind and overwhelmed by simply getting through the day? I am passionate about helping older teens and adults get unstuck from unhelpful "stuff." I offer individual therapy for motivated people who are tired of accommodating their OCD or phobia, can't avoid their anxiety any longer, and are sick of being trapped in their own thoughts. Our sessions together can be a space of exploration, personal development, confidence-building, and healing.

I am a licensed therapist who works with individuals and couples of all ages and various presenting concerns. I work with individuals with mental health challenges, addictive behavior, or life-transitional issues (e.g. beginning high school/college, launching into adulthood, managing relationships, grief/loss, etc.). I help couples get to a place of connection where each partner feels heard, understood, and loved by the other. No matter what circumstances led us to where we are today, I believe that we all have the potential to be happy and content.
