I specialize in evaluating and working with adults, children, and families for a variety of common complaints -- complaints that may be labeled anxiety, depression, or trauma (single-incident or chronic) -- and which are causing problems at home, at work, at school or privately, in a person's thoughts and feelings. Near the start of our work we will make a plan to bring about the change you want to make. We may administer formal tests to assess your (or your child's) strengths and challenges.
I help adults, adolescents, and children unburden themselves after difficult life circumstances, including missing out on important positive experiences. My clients often say that they are bothered by: - Times when they had too much change, uncertainty
- Loss of a person close to them
- Worry that a child may have been abused or neglected
- Adult or child feeling anxious, obsessive, or depressed
- Relationship problems with romantic partners, family members, children, friends, or at work
- Worries about a child's behavior
- Problems of parenting, adoption, and post-divorce parenting
With parents I provide parenting consultations, to avoid the mistakes seen in other parents or to understand a hard-to-understand child. Parents use our short-term work to make their relationship with their child more loving, more respectful, and easier.
Even when life seems good, special circumstances -- temporary marital problems, divorce, or the death of someone close, job insecurity, or involvement with the military -- can create frustration with ourselves or with others.
Our consultation can be a short-term (or longer) service to help you do more, set more realistic goals, and feel better than you would on your own.
