"I work with a variety of people including families of children with medical and behavioral issues (toileting, feeding, anxiety, school difficulties, ADHD), couples and families. I utilize a variety of techniques with an emphasis on empirically supported therapies, meaning that these techniques have been studied and found to be effective. When I am not working with families, my favorite places are in the water, on a bike and downhill skis, or playing in the sand with my own family. I also enjoy tackling home-improvement projects.
I consider it a great privilege for people to share their private thoughts, feelings, hopes, and fears with me. My goal in therapy is for people to feel comfortable and safe enough to discover solutions that fit by exploring these private matters."
