I believe that mental health reflects a balance between an individual's emotional functioning and his/her family, friends and community. I support patients in their personal awareness and integration of the mind, body and spirit. I have extensive clinical experience with individuals and families addressing concerns such as: Anxiety, Autistic Spectrum, Attention Deficit Disorders, Bi-Polar Disorder, Depression, Eating Disorders, Learning Differences, Oppositional/Defiant Behaviors, Personality Disorders, Postpartum Depression and Psychological responses to life changes. I offer additional expertise in bi-cultural/racial issues, chronic illness, co-parenting, LGBT community, interfaith marriage and sibling rivalry.

I helped individuals suffering with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, Autism, ODD, PTSD, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, and grief/ bereavement, etc. While, I have had experience working with clients ages 3-65, I am most passionate about helping children and adolescents. I have worked in co-occurring mental health and substance abuse settings, running parenting, domestic violence, and anger management groups involving both mandated and voluntary clients. I worked in school settings as well. I have also had experience providing career services, leadership development skills, and self-advocacy skills.

I work with clients by utilizing their strengths in order to find solutions to their emotional and behavioral concerns.

As a parent or caregiver, seeing your child struggle with mental health challenges, behavioral issues, loss or trauma can be confusing and overwhelming. Mental health challenges are widespread among our children and can seriously affect their quality of life. However, with therapeutic intervention, children can learn to communicate feelings, cope with challenges, and develop problem-solving skills that will help them to thrive in all areas of their lives.
