“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”
—Maya Angelou
Currently offering sessions both in-person and through teletherapy (secure video sessions).
Individual Therapy
I provide individual therapy services to children ages 3 and up, teens and adults. My approach is relational but also practical and goal-oriented. Play therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, combined with experience and insights gained from working with clients over the years, inform my work. I have a special interest in therapy for anxiety including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, phobias and selective mutism.
Family Therapy
I provide family therapy primarily for parents and their minor children. My approach is to help strengthen family relationships and appropriate boundaries through improved communication and ways of relating to one another.
Parent Coaching
I have experience with a variety of parenting approaches, including collaborative problem solving and Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). The primary parenting model I use is the Nurtured Heart Approach®, which is a relationship-based method that works to bring forth children’s greatness through the right balance of clear boundaries, energizing positive behaviors, and refusal to energize negative behavior. I am a Nurtured Heart Approach® Certified Trainer. Visit the Nurtured Heart Institute website for more information: https://nurturedheartinstitute.com/. I am also a trained SPACE (Supportive Therapy for Anxious Childhood Emotions) provider.
Consultation
I offer a free 20-minute phone or video consultation to anyone considering ongoing services who would like to discuss current concerns and how I may help. I also offer one-time or ongoing parent and/or school consultation services, most frequently for selective mutism.
