WELCOME
I believe that all individuals and families have strengths that can be pulled to the surface in therapy.
Seeking out a therapist to work on your individual or family needs can be daunting and stressful. Congratulations on taking this brave step towards healing yourself and your family.
All individuals and families already possess the strength they need to make positive changes, and sometimes just require a comfortable and nurturing place to obtain additional knowledge and skills to make that change happen.
I pride myself in being warm, open, and honest. I have worked with hundreds of clients of all different backgrounds, ethnicities and cultures, all with similar goals to improve their daily existence and find joy in everyday life with the people they love. I would welcome the opportunity to work with you and your family, to achieve your own individual and family goals.
Services
Adolescent Therapy
I have worked with adolescents in various settings including homes, schools, hospitals, and offices. I have extensive work with adolescents requiring special school placements, psychiatric hospitalizations and long-term residential facility care. My work with adolescents has included those suffering from (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, foster care and adoption, extreme traumas, sexual and physical abuse and rape, anger, trichotillomania, conduct disorders, ADHD, learning disorders, schizophrenia, mood disorders, drug and alcohol issues, self-harming behaviors, suicidal ideation, sexuality issues, gender identity issues, peer difficulties, self-esteem issues, lack of social skills, and parent communication problems. Many adolescents seek therapy to discuss a difficult relationship, break-up, school stressors, college worries or family problems.
Family Therapy
My clinical approach with families pulls from many forms of strengths-based therapeutic practices, including family systems theory, contextual family therapy, structural family therapy, compassionate parenting and cognitive behavioral techniques. I am committed to customizing my therapeutic approach to each unique family. Whether this is a time of crisis in your family, or you are looking for the opportunity to better communicate with each other, I am open to helping you meet your needs. A well-functioning family can effectively handle life changes and stressors by working together and listening to the needs of all the members. I have worked with many families suffering from traumas such as abuse, neglect, murder, death, domestic violence, chronic illness, drug and alcohol abuse, and life changes such as moving, divorce, and a new baby.
Individual Therapy
My clinical approach with individuals often pulls from the psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral fields of study. I will work with you, as partners, to determine what is causing you difficulties in everyday life, whether it is a current or past trauma, unresolved family of origin issues, current stressors or relationship problems. Together we can work through these conflicts to create a more peaceful life. I have worked with individuals suffering from (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, life transitions (birth, death, divorce), chronic illness, self-esteem issues, post-partum depression, grief and loss, stress management difficulties, and a wide range of psychiatric diagnoses.
About Me
For more than the last 18 years, I have worked with children, teens, and their families in outpatient and residential treatment. I help clients who are struggling with child/adolescent behavior and emotional concerns including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, parenting, school stress, social pressures, social media and adjustment issues.
You want what's best for your child. I am here to help. I will partner with you to help your child heal, develop healthy coping skills, strengthen relationships within the family, and build resiliency skills that aid your child though adulthood.
