" As a licensed psychologist with over 25 years of clinical experience, I strive to support my clients in identifying and meeting their goals in order to move beyond obstacles and make desired changes. I provide a respectful, empathic, supportive therapeutic relationship and space that is responsive to each individuals needs and goals. It is truly an honor to be a part of the turmoil and the triumphs of the journeys my clients travel.TOGETHER we will work to resolve past traumas, change self-defeating behaviors and limiting beliefs and learn new skills in order to create integrated and lasting change. ", Psychotherapy - At its core, therapy is about exploring where you came from and determining where you want to go. Actual traumatic experiences are less important than how we resolve and make sense of those experiences. My areas of expertise include trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, divorce, parenting, and intellectual giftedness. , Parent Consultation & Coaching - As a child psychologist, I have special interest in working with parents of children with challenging behaviors. Starting with the premise that discipline means guidance not punishment, I provide support to help parents understand & respond to emotions underlying misbehavior & learn skills to discipline confidently with less drama.
