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. As you share your story my experience strengthens the spark, turning it to earnest desire and belief in the very real possibility of effecting change in your 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.

Even as a high-achieving professional, you still experience negative self-talk. No mater what you accomplish, you constantly her that voice in your head say, “That wasn’t good enough.” You’re obsessed with perfection, but struggle most days with low mood. You’re afraid that you’ll never achieve greatness, but will always be stuck with “great potential.” This fear has grown to be overwhelming and all consuming. “Will I ever amount to anything? Does anything I do matter?” you ask yourself. Your doubts eat at you from the inside and they’ve brought on a feeling of hopelessness.
