Therapist Overview
I am nurturing, yet direct in my approach and see working towards tangible change as important. Therapy in my office is always client led coupled with some therapist guided cognitive changes to approaching problems and setting concrete goals. With young children, therapy will be play focused along with some parental involvement expected. I come with 18 years of clinical experience working with individuals, families as well as with couples and groups.

My background is in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and see counseling as a place for clients to make change and to self-evaluate in a safe and objective setting. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which has historically geared towards working with individuals with a trauma background. However, this approach has also been helpful
