I see psychotherapy as a journey in which two individuals, therapist and patient, co-create the story of the patient's life. In doing so, together they connect disconnected parts of the self, acknowledge and resolve internal conflicts, work through old losses, and discover new options for leading a more purposeful and meaningful life. For parents, I provide consultation and parenting support when children are struggling. I also provide psychoanalytic clinical supervision focusing on helping clinicians deepen and strengthen the therapeutic relationship with their clients with the aim of reaching more meaningful growth and change.

I have many years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and children and use a Cognitive/Behavioral approach.
It is my goal to provide a safe, comfortable, therapeutic environment for all of my clients. As a psychotherapist, I believe the most influential vehicle in supporting and helping my clients exists within my clients and is accessed through our therapeutic relationship. I hold all clients in a positive regard and aim to help clients identify and use their own strengths to solve their personal struggles. Let's face it, we all go through periods of self-doubt and high stress. To struggle is human.

My specialty focuses on the emotional and behavioral challenges of children, adolescents and teens, however, I work with adults, parents and families as well.
It is inevitable that our lives are consumed with daily challenges and obstacles. For each of us, our ability to manage those challenges differs; or, we settle and adapt much to the detriment of our emotional wellbeing and feeling as though there is no end in sight. Therapy provides an opportunity to examine those challenges and reframe them into a new, positive perspective. When we are able to see our way through and discover solutions to those problems from a position of strength, it can take on a whole new meaning.
