Everyone is on a continuous journey of self-discovery and personal development. I believe that each of us has the tools inside of us to overcome the many obstacles that life throws our way. My approach to therapy is very open, empathetic, direct and collaborative. We will identify strengths, build upon them while challenging faulty thinking patterns and learn new coping skills, including healthy communication patterns and problem solving while exploring new ideas. We will work together to identify personalized goals and develop a treatment plan to successfully work towards meeting them.
I bring 18 years experience treating adolescents, adults, and families. I have practiced in a variety of settings including inpatient hospitals, emergency departments, public schools and outpatient/community settings. I have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, school related issues, family conflict, divorce and relational issues.
I have a direct, open and compassionate approach to therapy. I count my invaluable experience as a mother of three to aid in my approach.
