My professional strengths include work with families and adolescents. To resolve behavioral problems and to improve the quality of their relationships. My understanding of unique dynamics present in stepfamilies has been helpful in working with this population as well. In addition, I have worked extensively with depression, substance abuse and other related issues. I also enjoy helping people to navigate life's ever changing paths including relational issues, loss and grief. My preferred methods of treatment include Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Family Systems approaches. I also employ a 12-step model for treatment of addictions. If someone is questioning whether therapy is right for him or her I am happy to offer a free phone consultation.
