With over 30 years of experience, I subscribe to a solution-focus philosophy, in which I strive to address the problem as quickly as possible, but with enough depth to avoid relapse. I set goals early in treatment with adults and couples, or with children/teenagers and their families, so we can find successful solutions and change behavior problems, emotional difficulties, academic difficulties, or family problems as soon as possible. I love people and people's stories, and am always truly and deeply interested in the story of every child, teen, and adult I meet. I also think laughter is therapeutic and therapy can be fun.

You've felt it before: things should be better. You should be better. For the youth and young adults that don’t feel seen or accepted for who you are—instead, people say you’re either too much or not enough—therapy can be a place to learn about yourself, what matters to you, and how to cope when it all doesn’t line up the way you (or others) hoped. As a school and licensed psychologist, I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I'm here to listen, teach, and collaborate with you.

"YOU REALLY CAN HAVE A LIFE OF ABUNDANCE, PEACE, LIFE, AND JOY!” You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. I Promise you that I am as real as a therapist can get! When you have tried things and they are not working for you, it's time to try something different, and I pride myself in being different and not like every other therapist. Keep in mind that currently I am working with couples and men. When working with couples both parties must be present, or the session will be cancelled.
