Welcome
As a psychotherapist with more than 30 years of experience providing mental health therapy and consultation, I am committed to helping adults, children, and adolescents improve their lives. My approach to therapy focuses on in-depth treatment of emotional, behavioral, and relationship issues that impede functioning and well-being. I believe in addressing the roots of problems with the goal of creating lasting change. I strive to create an environment of safety, non-judgement and compassion to make room for the exploration of difficult emotions and experiences. Together we can work holistically to address current stressors, unhealthy patterns in relationships and past trauma that may be impacting the quality of your life.
As an Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant (IECMHC) I am committed to providing consultation and education to both home and center based early childhood professionals and family support specialists. The focus of these services is to support professionals in the field with training and consultation on mental health and social-emotional development as they develop a reflective practice.
