My Approach to Helping

I use mostly evidenced based psychotherapy, which includes cognitive-behavioral therapy. I believe in collaboration between the client and therapist. I also honor the client and their problems in a way that helps with healing. With children, I not only work with the child using a variety of methods such as sand work, therapeutic play but also help the parents identify parenting factors that could be contributing to the issues. I have access to classes for parents such as Love and Logic training.

More Info About My Practice

I believe in compassionate, caring interaction between the client and therapist which facilitates healing. I also am honest in the amount of time treatment takes. I don't feel comfortable stretching out therapy if it is going nowhere. I believe in empowering the client and helping them understand that the work in the office is only half the work. I have been a therapist for well over 30 years. There hasn't been an issue that I haven't dealt with. I accept most insurances such as Medicaid, BCBS (pending), Presbyterian Health plan and all their products, Atna and others.

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

I work very well with children who have witnessed trauma or been traumatized themselves. I also work well with people who have relationship issues whether they are in a relationship or have personal blocks that prevent healthy relationships. I have specific training in both of these issues. I have been a therapist for over 35 years and have had experience in most mental health issues.
