About

I am an individual and family therapist who has extensive experience working with children, adolescents and adults. I have been in the field for over 23 years, working in outpatient mental health settings as well as schools and residential treatment facilities. The adults I have helped have struggled with issues around relationships, stress, depression, anxiety, divorce, trauma, loss amongst others. I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral approach to help clients reframe their thinking and better understand patterns of their behavior. I have worked with children and adolescents around family issues, school related anxiety, low self esteem, cyber bullying and many other challenging issues.

My style is warm, empathetic and non judgmental. I tailor my approach based on the needs of my clients and have used psychodynamic frameworks as well as motivational interviewing, ACT and CBT.

I look forward to working with you in the future.
