I specialize in children, adolescents, adults and families. I have helped clients suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety related disorders, behavioral issues, and grief and loss. My approach is person centered, focused on creating a caring and empathetic therapeutic relationship, while utilizing varied interventions, including psychodynamic, behavioral and cognitive based techniques, family systems theories, and attachment based strategies. In addition to more traditional approaches, I am a strong proponent of creative expressive therapy. Through expressive interventions my clients have learned to develop appropriate self expression of feelings, self confidence, effective coping and conflict resolution strategies, and pro social communication to help foster appropriate peer relations.

Most people who seek psychotherapy already possess a "spark" or a strong inclination for a certain change in their life.

I lecture at the university level in the areas of DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE and LEADERSHIP. I also lecture on ANXIETY MANAGEMENT. Though grounded in traditional psychotherapy, I espouse the merits of short-term and innovative techniques.
