I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist - Supervisor with over 20 years experience working with children, teens, adults, and families managing life's struggles.
Therapy can be a healing and ultimately freeing journey. In my experience, it allows individuals at any age to get in touch with and learn to understand their feelings. In being able to better understand ourselves, we can better recognize not only what prevents us, but also, what allows us to have a more fulfilling life. There is no better feeling as a therapist than seeing your clients realize and embrace their inner strengths, humbling resilience, and acquire the tools to manage their struggles in healthier and more productive ways.

Besides working with families with adolescents/children still living at home, I have experience with the Autistic and Asberger's Population.
Do you feel more stress than you can sometimes handle? Are you having problems maintaining healthy relationships with family or friends? Are money problems caused by the bad economy getting you down? We have all been through difficult times but need support to get through them. Many times family conflicts originate from someone else other than yourself. I can help you find practical coping mechanisms to get things back in order so that you may achieve happiness, intimacy and relaxation so that you may enjoy your life at the fullest capacity.

I have worked children with wounded hearts, their parents, young adults in identity crisis and adults in relational conflicts.
Have you ever felt this way? You felt too exhausted to try more and had no clue about what was left inside yourself. When your good intentional choices failed you, you wondered what went wrong and didn't know what to choose anymore. Life can bring an unexpected storm that makes you feel defeated, or overwhelmed within the high waves. Don't give up yet because this will be your opportunity to find your way out of the maze. You may still feel uncomfortable sometimes but not desperate any more, and even motivated to take on those challenges.

I am particularly skillful with children .
During 51 years of practice, I have treated cases ranging from toilet training, school phobias, heart-break, good marriages and bad marriages, depressed adults, homocidal and suicidal persons, and every behavior disorder common to daily living. For the past several years my work has been largely related to family, marital, child development issues, and sadly many family court related cases. My practice is behavioral, and problem oriented. I have always attempted to avoid the, "purchase of friendship" consequences of long term therapy. I may not "cure" many persons, but I am certain that I have helped thousands.
