​Are you thinking about therapy for yourself or a loved one?


Finding the right therapist is your first step in this important process. I encourage you to “interview” me so that you feel assured that I am:
  • Qualified to work with you
  • Competent in the area where you need help
  • Have a demeanor that invites assurance, confidence, and trust
  • Give you a sense of hope and direction

Specialty Areas
With expertise in a wide variety of modalities, I tailor client plans to the needs of each individual. My therapeutic approach draws from the following diverse sources:
  • “Classical” psychological practices: Psychoanalytic, cognitive, behavioral, humanist
  • Adolescents
  • “Modern” psychological practices: Positive psychology, solution-oriented psychology, transpersonal psychology
  • Eastern practices: Buddhist psychology, mindfulness practices, meditation, mind-body practices

My specialty areas of treatment include:
  • Adolescents
  • Depression
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Couples Therapy
  • Life Transitions
