We all experience stress in our lives, but sometimes that stress is overwhelming and we have trouble coping. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can be an incredibly effective tool to help manage anxiety, depression, and other stress-related difficulties. CBT focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in everyday life. As a cognitive-behavioral therapist, my approach is collaborative, individualized, and based on scientific evidence.

Welcome. Congratulations on taking this step to make change in your life. It takes a tremendous amount of bravery and belief that things can change just to land here. As a patient, your goals and treatment will be based on what you know best about yourself and what you want in your life. My role is to offer supportive guidance to get you to that place, without judgement or force. We will also develop an understanding of how your learned behaviors and emotional reactions to issues that may be causing discomfort for you are at the crux of your automatic thoughts and behaviors.

Making the decision to help a child or teen who is struggling academically, behaviorally, socially and/or emotionally may be the most important decision you make. I see each child/teen as a puzzle. Sometimes the pieces fit together perfectly and other times it is necessary to work really hard to find the right piece to complete the puzzle. I use a variety of techniques - play therapy, sand therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy. I believe that a child is part of a larger system, including parents, siblings, and schools. I strive to work with all aspects of a child's world.

I provide support and guidance to children, adolescents, and families in order to help them learn healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving.

I use a practical and comprehensive approach, addressing each individual's issues within the context of the family, school, and community.

What if life's stressors could feel a bit more manageable? What if we could set ambitious, yet realistic goals and accomplish them one-by-one? Despite all of the stressors facing us on a day-to-day basis, positive change is attainable. My approach to therapy is strength-based and involves a warm, collaborative process in which we assess barriers to success, set realistic goals, and monitor progress over time.
