I believe psychotherapy can be transformational. In my 13+ years as a psychologist, I’ve noticed a few key components to my work: I approach every new client with unconditional positive regard. I am empathic and supportive, yet direct and focused. I use humor often and laugh a lot. I am an active, conversational therapist. I’ve found a niche in working with resistant or slow to warm adolescents. My years spent as a independent school counselor have given me a unique perspective into the chaos that is the high school experience. I use a team-oriented approach and keep communication flowing between parents, teachers and counselors. I believe every experience in our biographical timeline contributes to who we are today. These experiences shape the way we view the world, how we tolerate feelings and relate to others. One main goal in therapy is to identify and change maladaptive patterns and to gain insight to what motivates us.

My dog, Buddy, likes to join in sometimes to help patients open up and discuss their feelings more freely; he is a therapy dog in training and although can be excited to meet new people, his primary role is to sit calmly and hope for ear scratches.
