Collaborative care tailored to your needs

In my private practice, I focus on caring for children, families and adults using a collaborative approach with an emphasis on evidence-based practice. I partner with clients to understand their strengths and difficulties to develop an effective treatment plan. I strive to understand clients’ values and experiences so that I can best work as a part of their team. The focus of my treatment is cognitive-behavioral, behavioral, and family systems oriented. I help clients to see the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and I use this understanding and the treatment relationship to enable clients take risks and try new skills. My goaI is to help clients transfer these skills to their lives so that they can apply them to new situations they face once therapy has ended. I have a strong knowledge of child development that informs my parenting work, and I am skillful at engaging children, adolescents, and adults in care. I use activities and humor to make therapy engaging and to bring concepts to life. Evidence-based treatments like CBT have much to offer to address challenging problems, but each person is different in how these skills can best be learned and applied. I tailor treatment to the individual needs of my clients, offering boutique care. I am adept at guiding families through times of conflict and helping families work through developmental challenges. My style is warm, genuine, outgoing, and transparent.
