At our core, we all seek to feel acceptance, love, and competence. When these basic needs are not being met in our life we often begin to feel lost, stuck, or alone.

Together we will examine early attachments and relationships to discover learned core beliefs and how they impact the way you see yourself and relate to the world around you.

I would like to introduce myself to you and familiarize you with my practice. I treat children, adolescents and their families who are feeling anxious, sad, frustrated and irritable. Bringing children to treatment at a young age provides them with a safe place to express their feelings. Early involvement in therapy allows children the opportunity to develop coping strategies at a young age that they can use throughout their lifetime. I have an expertise in the cognitive-behavioral treatment of anxiety disorders for children, adolescents and their families.

I also greatly enjoy working with children and adolescents.
Welcome to my practice. I have found that developing inner resources such as curiosity, empathy and courage allows people to love more generously and to tolerate the rigors of intimacy more joyfully. These qualities naturally provide patients with new ways of dealing with life's problems, thereby reducing symptoms of distress. I believe that the process of therapy can cultivate a rich appreciation for how the past may be recreated in the present; I encourage the identification of patterns of relationships that bind people to familiar, often negative, ways of experiencing themselves and the world.

Together, we can work effectively to navigate the life challenges that you and/or your child are experiencing.
