My Approach to Helping

If you are a parent who is feeling overwhelmed by the needs of a struggling child, confused and frustrated by family discord or at a loss as to how to communicate with your loved ones, I can help you restore the balance, calm and cooperation that have gone missing in your home. I have more than 20 years’ experience working with children and families who are grappling with problems such as divorce, adoption, major transitions, defiant behavior, ADHD, gendersexidentity issues, griefloss, learning challenges, drug and alcohol useabuse, and more.

With younger children, I offer play therapy, which can provide your child an opportunity to express their feelings, fears, anxieties, conflicts and wishes through the metaphorical medium of play. I also offer family and parent sessions to help you better support and communicate with your child.

With tweens and teens, I try to match my interventions with your child’s developmental level and communication style. Talk therapy, games, art, or specific exercises are commonly utilized, along with family therapy to help you communicate with, guide and support your child with confidence and compassion.

More Info About My Practice

I currently accept both out-of-pocket and insurance-paying clients. I am an in-network provider for Anthem Blue Cross. Additionally, for insurance plans in which I am not in-network, I provide Super Bills that allow clients to seek reimbursement based on applicable out-of-network rates. Please feel free to call me to discuss my rates and review your payment options. I will do my best to help you make an informed payment decision that works for you.

I love celebrating the changes my clients make, however subtle or profound. I love the diversity of working with all ages and utilizing a variety of approaches, such as talk, play, art, music and more. I love honoring the laughter and the tears, the absurdity and the seriousness of life's challenges.
