Your loss is real. A parent, spouse, child, friend. A job or lifestyle. Your health. How are you filling the emptiness? Calming the frustration or anger? Honoring the memories? How are you facing each spinning day?

I firmly believe that life presents us with opportunities to learn more about ourselves, even during some of our more difficult times. Each of us has the power within ourselves to make positive changes in our lives. I work hard in providing emotional support and tools to my clients to help them cope with whatever life presents to them."

My favorite quote is from The Little Prince, "the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart." Often in the midst of our pain and struggle we react to circumstances with little or no thought. We allow ourselves to be directed by the world instead of identifying what we need and know in our heart. To identify what we need, know what our heart wants, and have a plan to follow is what therapy is all about. We must work through the pain to identify these things; accept that we deserve them, and develop a plan to achieve them.

I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!!! I have extensive experience (over 18 years) working with children and adolescents with attention and behavior problems, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum symptoms, social issues, learning and school-related issues, and adjustment problems. I believe collaborating with schools, family members and other treatment providers is an important component of comprehensive treatment. The relationship between a therapist and client is often one of the most important factors in change, so I work hard to put my clients at ease from the first session.
