Individual Therapy (For Adolescents and Adults)
I offer services to adolescents and adults of all ages, addressing a wide range of problems. Individuals struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, depression or other mood disorders, behavioral problems, and self-image issues are part of my clinical practice. My approach is psychodynamic as I work with my clients to help them develop greater understanding and insight into their personal and relational challenges. We often work to break patterns from the past that might be increasing stress in the present. I also incorporate a variety of psychotherapeutic approaches and techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), based on clinical research as well as your own individual needs.

Couples Therapy
In couples therapy I help couples, married or not, understand and resolve conflicts and improve their relationship. Couples therapy gives couples the tools to communicate better, negotiate differences, problem solve and even argue in a healthier way. My work with a couple can be short term as you may need only a few sessions to help you weather a crisis. Others may need couples therapy for longer term, particularly if your relationship has greatly deteriorated. Couples therapy can help you rebuild your relationship or decide that you'll both be better off if you split up. Either way, couples therapy can help you understand your relationship better and make well-thought-out decisions.

Child Therapy
Therapy can help children develop problem-solving skills and also teach them the value of seeking help. Many children need help dealing with school stress, such as homework, test anxiety, bullying, or peer pressure. Others need help to discuss their feelings about family issues, particularly if there's a major transition, such as a divorce, move, or serious illness. Significant life events can cause stress that might lead to problems with behavior, mood, sleep, appetite, and academic or social functioning. In some cases, it is not as clear what caused a child to suddenly seem withdrawn, worried, stressed, sulky, or tearful. But if you feel your child might have an emotional or behavioral problem or needs help coping with a difficult life event, trust your instincts.
Here are some signs that a child may benefit from seeing a therapist:
-
behavioral problems (such as excessive anger, acting out, bedwetting or eating disorders)
-
episodes of sadness, tearfulness, or depression
-
social withdrawal or isolation
-
a significant drop in grades
-
overly aggressive behavior (such as biting, kicking, or hitting)
-
sudden changes in appetite
-
insomnia or increased sleepiness
-
development of or an increase in physical complaints (such as headache, stomachache, or not feeling well) despite a normal physical exam by your doctor
-
problems in transitions (following separation, divorce, or relocation)
