I have worked for 20+ years as a psychologist with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who present with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, stress, behavioral issues, trauma, martial and family conflict, and other relationship difficulties.
A young mother walked into my office crying and expressing her belief that asking for help indicated weakness. I thought to myself, it takes a strong person to ask for help. She had forgotten how strong and important she was.
I believe the single most important ingredient in a successful therapy is establishing, nurturing, and maintaining a safe, trusting, and genuine relationship. While making use of psychodynamic and family systems approaches to treatment, I am also flexible in assisting patients in understanding patterns of behavior that may contribute to their conflicts and worries.

I have worked with children, adolescents and adults for 20+ years.
In therapy, there is no "one size fits all!"
I work with adults, adolescents and children on an individual basis on many issues, especially issues of loss, trauma, depression and anxiety. Many people suffering from these issues also develop substance abuse, eating disorders and phobias. I believe therapy is a collaboration of therapist and client to understand and treat the issues that keep you from living the life you want.
