I have worked extensively with adolescents and children over the past years twenty years. My practice, however, is not devoted solely to teenagers. I also see many adults experiencing difficulties due to depression, role changes, relationship difficulties, or anxiety. The children and adolescents I work with may be struggling with ADHD, parental divorce, depression, anger issues, defiance, bullying, or recovering from sexual abuse. I work with parents extensively, while working with their children, to find strategies that are suitable. I am easy to talk to and willing to partner with the family to find solutions.

I see multiple families with adolescents who may be depressed, defiant, anxious, or not living up to their potential. I am both sensitive to the situation, but firm, in order to resolve the problem in as short a time as is possible; Often these solutions include the family.

I am able to quickly develop a working relationship with my clients. I use humor and, at times, metaphor to get across my point. I am also experienced in advocating for children who have an IEP, and work closely with the school to ensure its effectiveness.
