The therapies I offer have been systematically studied and shown to improve quality of life by reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and problem behaviors.  These therapies are goal-oriented and short-term.  We will work together to help you change the way you think, feel, and act, and we will do so at a pace that feels comfortable for you.  Along the way, we'll use research-validated questionnaires selected for your presenting concerns to track progress.  It can be challenging work, but you will carry the benefits with you even after therapy ends.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults.  I work directly with children over the age of 7.  For younger children, I work with parents to teach them tools to help their child.

The first two sessions would be an initial evaluation period.  The purpose of these sessions is to: 

(a) make sure I can offer the services I believe you need 

(b) ensure that you all feel comfortable moving forward with me.  

As of January 2024, I'm offering therapy services in-person or via video.
