Hello and Welcome!  

I’m so happy you found me!! 

I truly hope you find something on this web site that: 

  • answers some of the most common questions about my practice 

  • inspires you in some way or gives you hope for a better tomorrow 

  • leads you to some other useful helping resources

  • helps you within the scope of what this web site can provide (click for disclaimers)

For teens and young adults…

There is so much to share with you that will hopefully help to always bring you back to your original goodness.  Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, or other mood states which are getting in the way of a happier life, there is so much to share with you that will help you.

For parents…

It is not easy these days.  The electronic 24/7 nature of your children’s lives seems to pull them away from you, especially their reliance on electronic communication instead of talking with and being with you.  For some parents, their own issues have become such a burden that the prospect of raising happy and well-adjusted children can seem overwhelming at times.  There is hope and help for you as well.

For educators and fellow mental health practitioners…

I stand ready to collaborate with you.  As a School Psychologist of thirty plus years, I can appreciate your unique challenges as you try to provide a quality education to our young people.  Together, we can tackle any issue and bring it to a better place.  Since it is recognized that sound emotional well-being supports a more effective learner, it is often a combination of school-based resources along with outside therapeutic support that can get the job done. 

Additional thoughts...

Remember... "Begin each day by saying to yourself:   Today I shall be meeting with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill-will, and selfishness."   Marcus Aurelius, Roman Philosopher

Marcus may sound pessimistic, but he does tell it like it is.  Reality is our best teacher.  When you drive defensively, and watch out for the other driver, you have fewer accidents.  Similarly,  when you expect people to act imperfectly and you do not demand that they conform to your will, you will become a healthier human being who will spend much less time in your therapist's office.
