I provide psychotherapy for adults, teenagers and children, consultation regarding parenting issues, and play therapy for children with behavioral or emotional issues. My work with adults has covered a broad spectrum - from people who are having problems with relationships or need help with stress management and coping skills, to people suffering from anxiety disorders and depression. I specialize in women's issues and life transitions. My goal is to help people get through difficult and challenging times and see opportunities for growth. My work with children has similarly been varied; I've worked extensively with traumatized children, children experiencing anxiety and depression, and children who are having difficulty navigating bumps in everyday life. I can help parents understand and appreciate a child's temperament and strengths. My treatment approach is eclectric, based primarily on psychodynamic theories. My style is empathic, non-judgmental, interactive and collaborative. In therapy, my hope is to develop a relationship of mutual trust, respect and curiosity where we can work together to understand the connection between thoughts, feelings and self-limiting behavior.
