My Approach to Therapy

I am a clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, and parents. My clinical work includes individual psychotherapy, group therapy, and neuropsychological and educational evaluations.

I am particularly interested in working with children, adolescents, and their families on developing healthy relationships with self, family, peers, and school.

While most of my work is built around a systems approach, I incorporate what I consider to be the best elements of several other approaches, including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and interpersonal psychotherapy. I consider each individual as a component of a larger family system and each family system as a member of even larger school and community systems. Therefore, I value the insights of parents and teachers and I keep in mind that healthy communication between people and systems feeds emotional well-being, relationship success, and academic achievement. My work with children and teens is informed by my belief that strong people are built on the shoulders of the people who surround and support them.
