    I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families. I have extensive training and experience working with children, adolescents and their families.

   I also specialize in women’s issues in promoting the ability to identify and assertively meet your individual needs with greater personal satisfaction and emotional health at every developmental stage of life.

   I use insight, cognitive,behavioral and solution focused therapy techniques and strategies, coupled with a supportive, empowering, strengths based perspective. I view my role in therapy as a priviledge, sensitive to the courage it takes to share your innermost feelings, thoughts and life journeys.

    My practical and empowering approach is with the goal of therapy being short term, helping you develop the skills and support system necessary to achieve and maintain desired changes and successful adjustment. Long term therapy is also provided given the complexity of issues and related needs.

    I accept most insurance. Day, evening and Saturday appointments are available.
