WELCOME

I am a supportive, interactive, and engaged therapist who works actively to help clients better understand and address their difficulties.  I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and children in a compassionate manner, using an integrative approach that combines interpersonal, cognitive behavioral, and other therapeutic strategies.  

Do you ever feel:
  • More "on edge" than you are comfortable with
  • That you worry or obsess about things and are unable to stop yourself
  • Confused and disappointed by relationships with friends, family, or colleagues
  • Concerned about how your child is doing emotionally or in school
  • Sadness that doesn't seem to resolve
  • Overwhelmed by the responsibilities of having children
  • Uncertain about life changes and career choices
  • That you wish your relationship with your child was more harmonious

Taking a step to confront your concerns, rather than dismiss them, is the beginning of taking control of the situation.  Often, with some help from a therapist, you can come up with solutions that empower you and help you manage and begin to master difficulties and feelings that had previously seemed intractable.  

In my practice I work with individuals facing various difficulties and stage-of-life concerns such as relationship issues, becoming more independent and transitioning to college, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, parenting stress, and adjusting to one's own or a loved one's medical diagnosis or disability. 

I also have extensive experience conducting psychoeducational/ neuropsychological testing to assess learning difficulties. I evaluate children and young adults to help better understand their areas of strength as well as their challenges.
