Therapist Overview
I like to provide clients with practical solutions they can utilize in their day to day lives to help them better manage their emotions in order to achieve greater harmony within themselves, and with others. I strive to create a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where clients feel both supported and respected. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership in which we work together towards goals that feel both realistic and manageable. I work collaboratively with clients helping them understand patterns of behavior and thinking, through a variety of approaches including psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I have more than 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults/college students in various settings. I support clients with issues such as depression, anxiety, parenting skills, anger management, low self-esteem, stress management, and interpersonal/relationship difficulties. I have worked for over 20 years in the public school system as a Guidance Counselor and understand the educational and social pressures that children encounter at school. I am well versed at working with school aged children and families who are experiencing difficulty with their child’s behavioral, emotional, or developmental challenges.
