My practice includes adolescents and adults with a variety of concerns. In particular, I focus on the developmental issues of adulthood, including the decision to enter college. Students with special needs, including learning differences, learning disabilities, or those re-entering school after time away, may need particular help to successfully navigate this path. My goal is to help adolescents and adults with this transition through interpersonal, family-focused, and problem-solving therapy, which can be short-term or of longer duration.
