As an experienced adolescent therapist, I am passionate in helping teens figure out who they are, who they want to be, and the barriers keeping them from realizing these goals. My goal is to provide professional, compassionate care while addressing the challenges you or your teen face. I have assisted hundreds of adolescents through academic challenges, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, substance use, ADHD, traumatic experiences, social anxiety and divorce. While I specialize in working with adolescents, I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, with families, and with single and coupled parents navigating the challenges and rewards of parenting. My goal is to support you and your teen identify and minimize self-limiting patterns that no longer work, while accessing and encouraging innate strengths and resilience. My approach is based on respect and compassion, while drawing on tools of mindfulness, depth psychology, adolescent development and other evidence-based practices. I am an experienced addictions counselor, and view substance use as only one aspect of an individual. With compassion and encouragement, I support my clients to restore the life balance they seek. A former professional symphony musician, I specialize in the management of performance anxiety with musicians, dancers and actors.
