| Practice Description: |
 | I am offering tele-therapy/phone sessions during this COVID-19 pandemic. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if I can be of any help. |
I am a child and adult psychotherapist who works fluidly with clients based upon their diverse and changing needs. Many clients enter therapy feeling dislocated from their true selves, others, or their larger social environment. The therapy relationship is based upon trust, mutual respect, and openness. I am constantly aware of the need to strike a balance between accessing and using one's history in our work and moving forward. I work in a supportive, nurturing, interactive manner with my clients, and consider myself an active participant in their journey toward improved fulfillment and satisfaction.
My work with children often focuses on a combination of play therapy, artistic expression, and family meetings. I work with children and/or their families around issues of divorce/separation, adoption, postpartum depression/anxiety, school and separation anxiety, parenting, depression, social anxiety, and attention difficulties.

| Additional Comments: |
I am fortunate to share a suite with a group of 8 clinicians (psychiatrists and psychologists) who have been practicing together for over 20 years. Although we function as independent practitioners, we refer to one another frequently based upon our own clinical specializations. Our psychiatrists are able to provide medication evaluation and management when needed. Other areas of specialty include (but are not limited to) men's issues, couple's therapy, adolescent treatment, eating disorders, ADD/ADHD, and spectrum disorders. |
