I see psychotherapy as a way to more fully empower and express one’s self in the world, whether as a child, teen, or adult, and, in the process, heal the various “symptoms” that stand in the way. It’s my belief and experience that that sense of self is, by nature, strong, clear, and caring, and yet can become problematic, in feelings and behavior, through the difficult experiences that life can bring. I see my role as helping to bring forth the experience of this successful and caring self, and, specifically to assist the client to heal the problematic traumas, attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and temperaments that interfere with this. I work with children, teens, adults, and families, using an eclectic range of methods, including sandplay, EMDR, CBT, dynamic and problem-solving therapy, along with family therapy, depending on the needs of the person. I particularly specialize in work with young, middle, and older adolescents, and have been providing psychotherapy as a Licensed Psychologist for over twenty-five years.
