I believe clients in therapy need a competent practitioner, aware of the current best practices/research, yet they also need someone who is genuine, relatable and can apply a sense of humor while working through life's challenges. I provide caring psychotherapy to adults, couples, families and children.I believe my clients are "peers" not "patients" and apply a humanistic style. I have eighteen years experience as a therapist and love my career. My work as a professor and national public speaker also help me to be a competent therapist. I have received positive feedback over the years for my genuineness, competence, humor and compassion.
I have expertise in anxiety disorders,adult/child ADHD, bullying interventions (perpetrators and victims) verbal abuse, social/emotional skill training for autistic spectrum, LGBT indivisual/ couples therapy, corporate workplace stress management, grief, divorce,bilingual (Spanish),women's health issues, parental bonding and creative behavioral interventions for childhood emotional/mental health problems.
I try to make my clients feel as comfortable as possible during our work together-and enjoy learning and sharing together as we work on our goals. I believe clients teach me as much as I teach them. I embrace a humanistic approach that promotes a safe and relaxing environment.
