Children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. Eclectic therapy for individuals, couples, and families dealing with emotional and behavioral difficulties, as well as substance use issues.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor and have been providing therapy for children, adolescents, and adults since 2002. The majority of my work has focused on survivors of trauma and related emotional obstacles, behavioral difficulties (e.g., oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorders, ADHD), interpersonal relationship issues (including codependence), mood disorders, anxiety, and substance use concerns. When working with children and adolescents I not only work with the child/teen but also frequently work with parents in a co-therapy/co-parenting approach. This helps parents learn more effective behavior management techniques and improves parent-child communication and problem-solving.

I enjoy working with people from all different backgrounds and I value the unique circumstances each person brings with him or her regarding all aspects of diversity. I use a dynamic approach to therapy, drawing from several specialties including client centered, interpersonal, motivational, and cognitive behavioral techniques. My primary therapy goals are to create a safe environment for client self exploration, and increase client awareness through direct, open, reciprocal communication.
