My work with clients covers the lifespan – from helping parents with young children to working with seniors making decisions as they age. Common themes in my work include resolving relationship difficulties; easing communication struggles; moving beyond substance abuse; and transforming emotional distress such as anxiety or depression, grief, and loss. In my work with Children and Adolescents, I provide a collaborative diagnostic and treatment approach, always taking into account the perspective of parents. My work with couples starts with a compassionate understanding of the couple’s relational strengths, not just their struggles. I take the time to hear the pain of each partner prior to engaging in solutions. Ultimately, I will help move my clients from dwelling on the past to working together to create a positive future. For couples that come to therapy, uncertain of what they want for the relationship, I am adept at engaging them in a process of discerning and exploring different paths for working on the relationship or ending it in the best possible way. In addition to my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I hold a certificate of advanced studies in Child Therapy from Syracuse University where I was trained to understand principles of child development, human sexuality, gender development and family development processes, especially within the context of trauma.
