My areas of specialization are with children who are in foster care, families in transition, children with autism and their families.
With 25 years of experience working with people of all cultures and backgrounds, I believe that learning more about oneself is a gift for our inner health. Therapy can be an important resource for clarifying concerns and formulating strategies which could lead to positive choices. My approach is open, non-judgmental and interactive. Therapy does not need to be a long term process but can be an effective tool for developing better coping mechanisms. I have experience working with children and adolescents; and adults.

I am married and have adult children and grand children.
I enjoy my profession as a therapist. Every person faces life transitions and crises. All that we can control is how we respond to these challenges. My approach is to try to understand each client's unique needs, discover and mobilize the client's strengths, and enhance their coping skills. I strive to help my client use the precipitant, what brought them to therapy, to grow as a person from the therapy experience. My approach is to listen to my client, help them process their feelings, empower them to see that they have choices, and choose emotionally healthy options.

I bring both understanding and caring to the therapeutic relationship. I’ve been a therapist and supervisor for over 25 years and have specialties in working with people who struggle with depression, learning differences and attentional difficulties that result in performance anxiety. I help with ADD self-management. I am also a Lyme Literate counselor and as such work with folks with chronic complex illness. In the work that I do, I have found it key to highlight and appreciate differences in perception so we can explore how they might lead to communication barriers. Celebrating diversity and uniqueness is important to healing.

Depression, anxiety and problems in relationships often cause deep anguish and pain - just getting by each day is tough. We often struggle alone believing things will never get better. Friends and family urge us to just get over it, but sometimes that makes it feel worse. You need someone to talk to. In the safety and privacy of our offices, you will have your therapist's unwavering attention, devoted to helping you untangle the mess that exists in your life. Together, we will help you change what you thought was unchangeable but also accept what you thought was unacceptable.
