| Practice Description: |
I have nearly 25 years of experience providing individual, family, and couples therapy to people of all ages and diagnoses. My areas of specialty include adult/adolescent Anxiety, Depression, Anger Management, Bipolar Disorder, and Addiction (all types). In addition, I work well with families whose children struggle with emotional and behavioral problems, including diagnoses of ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and Autism. With each of these challenges, therapy can help you overcome obstacles that are hard to manage alone, and finding a therapist that is "the right fit" will be crucial for doing so.
I believe that the rapport and trust built in therapy are the most important and necessary agents for meaningful, lasting change, and that compassionate care is essential to your feeling validated and empowered throughout the process. Without these connections, even the most qualified and well-intentioned therapist may fail in attempting to help.
In our therapy, I will offer a practical, solution-focused approach, often providing you direct feedback for coping with stressors, resolving their underlying causes, and reaching your goals. Above all, I will always listen carefully and empathetically, so as to fully understand the sensitive issues discussed from your perspective and at your pace.
