My Approach to Helping

I believe that the key to a successful counseling experience is developing a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship. I also believe that therapy is not "one-size-fits-all" and will work with clients to develop a counseling experience that works best for them.

In working with families who are experiencing a transition due to divorce, I focus on strengthening the communication among family members and enhancing positive co-parenting. The losses associated with divorce can be painful, but they can also be an opportunity for growth and redefining the family context.

More Info About My Practice

I accept self-pay clients. For other insurance carriers, I am an out of network provider, but I can provide a receipt for sessions that you may file on your own for reimbursement (usually up to 60% of session costs).

I do have a sliding scale available for clients who are earnest in seeking support but may have limited funds.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I have worked with adolescents in school, agency, and private practice settings since 1995. Adolescence is an intense, turbulent time of self-definition and re-invention. I am honored to be invited in to be a part of that process. I also enjoy working with families in transition. I know that divorce and family restructuring can be painful; however I also know that the transitions can be opportunities for individual and family growth. I am committed to helping families navigate those challenging transitions while maintaining healthy communication and mutual respect.

My Role as a Therapist

I believe that my role is to help clients identify and clarify their goals, develop the skills they need to accomplish those goals, and provide support and honest feedback throughout the process. Part of my role is also to bring in a broad perspective to help clients develop an understanding of themselves and their feelings in a wider context.
