Every one of us is feeling overwhelmed these days! I view mental health as an approach to promoting wellness, not just relieving illness. I provide support to children, adolescents, and pregnant/post-partum women. I firmly believe that life presents us with opportunities to learn more about ourselves, even during some of our more difficult times. Each person has the power to make positive changes in their lives, and with the support and guidance of a trusted confidante, can fulfill goals of self-improvement. I strive to ensure that my clients feel supported, respected, and above all else, moving forward in a positive direction.

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. At our practice, our therapists have 50+ years of combined experience. We are experts in what we do and seek to serve our patients with the highest quality of care and the most advanced therapeutic techniques. We use a variety of approaches to treat a wide range of disorders and issues. We specialize in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Based Interventions, Behavioral Activation, and have a Patient-Centered approach.

I enjoy working with individuals and their families through a strength-based perspective to not only address weaknesses, but foster strengths. I believe there is no "one size fits all" model, and by collaboratively working together, goals can be identified, evidenced-based practices can begin, and progress can be monitored. I work with clients to address an array of concerns, including anxiety, depression, family conflict, school difficulties, behavioral difficulties, social skills, organization and executive functioning difficulties, and other adjustment concerns. I also complete comprehensive assessments to address learning, attention and a mix of social, emotional and behavioral challenges.
