About Me

From my earliest experiences to the present time, I have had the privilege of working with adolescent clients in both in-patient and outpatient settings. My longitudinal experiences range from eating disorders, suicidal ideations, thru substance abuse, bipolar disorders (Types 1 and 2) and depression. With over 40+ years of clinical experience, I have a track record of gaining client confidence and successful outcomes. I focus on solid, achievable goals and benefit from having feedback over the decades of how successful the outcomes have become.
My approach is eclectic and I keep current through continuing education which keeps my skill sets up to date and relevant. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapies and treatments. I am not bound by the conventions of dated treatment modalities and having experienced feedback over the decades has allowed me to provide targeted treatments that are most helpful to reach desired outcomes.

I use humor, reality goals, and incremental steps to reach satisfactory targets in therapy, I am gratified to receive the feedback from patients that what we have accomplished has met their goals and allowed them to move on and past the presenting issues that brought them to me,

I want my patients to know they can trust my approaches and gain a better outcome if they stick with the goals we set.
