I work with children, adolescents and adults in individual, group, family, and marriage counseling settings. My treatment techniques take into account the unique qualities of each person. While my therapeutic approach is largely eclectic, I tend to empahsis Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) techniques to help my clients develop self awareness and to help them understand how their emotions, beliefs and thoughts contribute to the behaviors and situations that are causing them unhappiness. I help guide them to change negative thoughts and life long habits into new and positive beliefs, thereby helping to increase their success in meeting goals and enjoying life.

My specialties include:

Anxiety and Stress

Anger

Depression

Relationship Issues

Couples/Marriage Counseling

Self-Esteem Issues

Social Skills Development

Support Groups

Parenting Skills

Resource and Referral

Education about Autism

IEP Coaching

Skills for Advocacy

There are times when everyone needs a little extra help. Everyday life is stressful in our fast paced world, and we often put ourselves last on the list. If you are ready to put yourself and your happiness as a top priority, if you are willing to consider making some changes to improve your life, I am here to help. I am a positive, take charge person and encourage my clients to do the same for themselves. Professional counseling can aid in resolving problems and facilitate positive change; with guidance and support you can recognize your inner strength and resources. My goal is to help you find new solutions to current problems.
