As a parent and psychologist, I enjoy supporting children as they grow and strive to be their best. At the same time, I realize that the maturation process is not always easy and both children and parents often need outside supports. Emphasizing a collaborative process with my clients and their relevant care providers, I value working together to establish goals, individualize treatment, and evaluate progress. My services include providing short and long-term therapy with children, adolescents, and young adults to treat problems involving anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relational/social concerns, ADHD, adjustment problems, and family issues.

As a therapist, I bring a wealth of life experience as well as over 15 years of professional expertise with children in various settings, particularly those within the foster care system.
Consistent with several views expressed within the field of Positive Psychology, I believe in focusing on an individual's strengths and virtues to help individuals and families thrive. In addition to this approach, my collaborative, non-pathologizing style utilizes the inherent virtues of growth and change within individuals and families, allowing for a deeper understanding of each client's unique processes and functions, setting the stage for clients to develop self-agency and become the experts in their family system. Visit Amazon.com for my recent book on Relationships "The Games Boys Play".

I see adults, couples, children and adolescents.
My approach is to understand my client through a complete history of childhood and adult experiences so that we can together explore how the client perceives the world. Sometimes experiences can cause clients to be anxious, defensive or make poor choices. I hope to help clients see how these approaches may have been useful in other times in life but may be less useful now. Sometimes a new approach to thinking is helpful. Other times insight and being understood can promote change.This approach also works with both parties in a couple to help regain trust and form new ways of relating.

I regularly coordinate with the child's school (including IEP planning), physician, and any other professionals that may be working with the child during the evaluation process and when making treatment recommendations.
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I work exclusively with children/adolescents and their families to help youth reach their fullest potential. To reach this goal, my practice is limited to providing testing to define diagnostic issues and treatment planning. I also work closely and cooperatively with community service providers such as schools and physicians/medical providers during the testing process and afterwards. On a very limited basis, I also provide supportive treatment progress monitoring to children and their families. I

I have been working with children and their families for over ten years.
It takes courage to make that first phone call to establish a therapy session and it takes even more courage to meet that therapist being vulnerable in discussing your concerns in this life. My goal when I meet every client is to support them in discovering how to make this life worth living. Many individuals go through life just coasting day by day trying to get by minute by minute. While I can not give you a magical solution to take care of all of life's problems, I can be there for you, listen to you and guide you towards living the best life you can live for you and your family.

I am a trained mental health counselor, working with children, preteens, adolescents, teenagers, young and older adults experiencing circumstances beyond their scope to deal with alone.
Silent and negative non-verbal thoughts to ourselves about life's circumstances can and will hurt us. They are the misbeliefs or lies we silently tell ourselves, over and over again about why we feel the way we feel when we experience suffering. Our silent, negative non-verbal thoughts become our negative self-talk and keep us stuck in life's circumstances. We can choose to make a difference. We can choose to recognize the misbeliefs or lies we tell ourselves so that we can start the healing process of moving forward.
