My Approach to Helping
"Unraveling the Mysteries of Being Human"

At times, we all have questions about what happens to us in life. It could be the stress caused by work or family, medical issues, trauma, grief and loss, the process of aging. Seeking help with an experienced therapist is the beginning of understanding, acceptance and renewal.

I provide a safe, non-threatening environment to help you unravel your mysteries. I use warmth and humor with psychological techniques based on Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, and Family Systems Theory. I tend to look at the human-ness rather than the pathology but I am well versed in psychopathology,its causes and available treatment. With your permission, I work collaboratively with your medical team.

I see children & adolescents in my lovely playroom. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. I have experience in group facilitation in Anger Management, Stress Reduction, Domestic Violence, Depression.
