My practice includes adults, adolescents, and children.  I provide individual, family, and couples counseling.  I have particular expertise in counseling children, adolescents, families, and individual adults who are coping with their own or a family members’ abuse, mood or anxiety disorders, relationship or self-esteem concerns, ADD/ADHD, trauma and other disorders.  My primary theoretical orientations are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR Therapy, and Play Therapy; however, I often use other orientations as the need arises.

Within the first few sessions, we will establish goals for our work together, and I will form a fluid treatment plan, which may change as our counseling progresses.  I have found counseling to be most effective if we work collaboratively; I expect you to come to your sessions on time, to complete any tasks we agree upon, and to do your best to talk about the concerns, behaviors, thoughts, and feelings that are bothering you.  If anything about our counseling troubles or disappoints you, I strongly encourage you to talk about that in our session so that we can address your concerns.
