I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues with children, teens and adults. I provide a combination of therapeutic approaches that have been supported by the most up-to-date clinical research. I infuse empirically supported Western psychology along with well-established, Ancient Eastern approaches. My clients are active participants and take full responsibility for learning and mastering the agreed upon coping strategies and helpful perspectives about themselves and others that can be applied to all aspects of their life. In a comfortable, non-judgmental, and compassionate atmosphere, I provide a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my client's individual needs.
