I am a licensed clinical psychologist (California and New Mexico) who specializes in treating children and adolescents. My main areas of interest include the treatment of young people who are coping with acute or chronic illness, or grief and loss. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds who show signs of depression or anxiety, or who are coping with trauma, post-traumatic stress, loss, or major life transitions.
I am less of a good fit for folks whose primary concern is an eating disorder, substance abuse, or autism spectrum. I also do not specialize in couples' therapy. These all require specialized treatment, and I am happy to help you find trusted referrals.
In the therapeutic relationship, my style is warm and flexible, tailoring sessions to the client's needs, using talk therapy, family interventions, play therapy and art therapy. While I approach each client as a unique individual, I work closely with family members of children and adolescents to facilitate lasting change.
