My Mission Statement

To provide children, adolescents, adults, couples and families with support for all of life's transitions, by welcoming change through proactive, future-based, playful experiences that leave each person feeling powerful, positive, nurtured, and accepted.

Who I Am

I am trained as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist as well as a Life and Business Coach. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents and adults on various life transition issues,such as--death, divorce, deployment and drug addiction.  I have over 15 years of experience in trauma work such as domestic violence, child abuse, relational aggression,(aka girl bullying) and cyberbullying. Also, I am available for speaking engagements at schools or other organizations regarding bullying issues.  My practice is geared toward utilizing a positive psychological approach and I believe in the Self-Psychology model. This means that your personal experiences are of utmost importance.  Your reality is not considered a distortion or a projection but rather as your truth.  I fully believe that YOU know the answers to your own problems or concerns, and it is my job to help you to see them better!  I am trained to use play therapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques as well as a psychodynamic approach. In addition to individual and couples therapy I facilitate sessions regarding mother and daughter issues and conduct Emotional Intelligence (EQ-i) assessments which can be completed online and are useful for a myriad of reasons.
