I have considerable experience working with children, adolescents, and adults dealing with a range of emotional and behavioral struggles.
As a therapist, I strive to be genuine and to create a nonjudgmental environment in which clients can be open and feel accepted. Therapy is a collaborative effort in which I work together with my clients to understand their challenges, identify their obstacles, and set realistic goals to bring about meaningful change in their lives. Therapy is not "one size fits all" and I utilize a style that integrates cognitive- behavioral, interpersonal, and dynamic interventions, tailoring treatment to the individual needs of each client. Life is challenging and sometimes we can all use a little extra support.
