I have counseled children, adolescents and adults for more than 20 years. I have extensive experience in helping clients who are suffering from situational stress,depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, and relationship issues. I use play therapy and family therapy in working with children who are experiencing depression, post traumatic stress, emotional turmoil, school problems, ADHD and behavioral issues. Children usually love to come to the "play doctor". I really enjoy working with adolescents. I have worked with those who are having difficulty in school or family life; those who are depressed, acting out or angry.
I use cognitive techniques to help people find ways to minimize their suffering and work through past trauma. I explore what's working and what's not working in one's life. I use a very practical, empathetic approach. With children I focus on both their internal experience and family structure.
I have much experience in working with mental illness. I am aware of resources in the community and include adding community supports to therapy. I focus on the positive in an individual and family's life as well as changing what's not working.
