I work with children, adults, families and couples, and I view people as individuals with unique experiences, concerns, goals and preferences for addressing their issues.
If you are struggling with personal, family or relationship issues, I offer a slightly different approach than you might expect. Contrary to how some view therapy, I believe there is far more "right" than "wrong" with people who seek help -- strengths allowing them to overcome seemingly overwhelming obstacles. I'm a therapist, but I'm also a parent and husband who makes plenty of mistakes. Luckily, perfection isn't necessary or even desirable, as it often takes only small, positive changes to yield significant benefits. Things can get better, sometimes quickly, if you begin taking steps in the right direction.

I also work with children, teenagers, and young adults.
Most people come upon a time when personal, family or relationship issues become overwhelming. My approach is to provide a safe, confidential space where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and experiences. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. I provide therapy that is tailor-made for whatever you are facing. With individuals, I treat depression and anxiety, OCD, trauma, and serious mental illnesses. If you aren’t sure what might be wrong but feel you need support, we can figure it out together. Through couples therapy, I can help with communication challenges and help improve the lives of everyone in the household.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults, employing a cognitively based, brief therapy approach in a supportive and compassionate environment. I believe that we all have inner strengths and potential. While we cannot change the negative circumstances of the past, we can develop new attitudes and learn to accept them without regret. You can learn to be comfortable with what was once uncomfortable. Together we will identify thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors that no longer serve you. We then collaborate to find new perceptions and techniques that will enable you to become stronger, resilient, and lead a life worth celebrating.

I look forward to being a part of your support system and helping you or your child lead a happier, more fulfilling life.
Are you feeling worried or unable to fully enjoy previous hobbies or interests that you once looked forward to? Or are you a parent of a child who is struggling emotionally or behaviorally in school or at home? It takes a great amount of strength to admit an answer to any of these, let alone seek therapy. I admire the courage of each and every person who makes the decision to come to therapy. My experience involves providing individual, group, and school counseling services to children as young as 2 years old, adolescents, young adults, and adults.

Life is filled with many opportunities as well as challenges. My goal is to help children and adolescents recognize and seize those opportunities and overcome any challenges and obstacles that get in their way. By helping them create a positive mindset, build effective coping strategies, and expand their repertoire of problem-solving skills, they can live a healthy, satisfying, and successful social and academic life. The earlier these skills are cultivated within the child or adolescent, the greater the opportunities to practice and utilize them to their benefit.
