I provide individual, couple’s and family therapy to adults, children and adolescents.  

Many parents come to me because they have concerns regarding the emotional health or behavioral patterns of their children or adolescents.  Much of my work with children and adolescents is focused on helping them understand their thoughts and their feelings and the connection between the two, and also on learning more positive ways to express themselves and cope with the challenges in their lives.  Building these skills often allows my young clients to increase their self-esteem, improve their relationships with others, and exhibit more positive behaviors in the classroom and at home.  I may also work with the parents so they have a greater understanding of the struggles their child is facing and to help them gain the tools they need to feel confident in their ability to meet their parenting challenges.

Adults often seek out my services because they are suffering from anxiety or depression, wish to heal from past experiences, work through relationship or family issues, learn new ways of coping, or are feeling overwhelmed with the current circumstances in their lives.  Regardless of the reason you are coming to therapy, together we will discover what your needs and goals are and with warmth and insight, I will guide you towards the awareness, change, and growth you seek.
