Great to meet you!

I believe strongly in the healing power of empathy and support in my relationship with clients. I also believe that every person can be resilient. An important part of therapy is to tap into a client's strengths to build lasting coping skills.

My approach to therapy

I have an eclectic, and, always compassionate approach to treatment. Since clients are very different and issues can be very complex, I work hard to customize therapy to meet the needs of each client. I employ current research and the latest technology to maximize positive results in therapy. I assist clients to break destructive patterns, using mindfulness techniques and biofeedback. I also teach coping skills that are easily learned and easily used.

What you can expect from me

I incorporate client centered and cognitive- behavioral approaches, with new technology to provide relief of symptoms, and give clients the ability to improve their lives. I also coach to improve performance in sports, academics, career or the performing arts.
