About My Clients

The individuals and families I work with focus on a range of interests and priorities. Some arrive looking to address challenging patterns in relationships, their well-being, at school, or in their professional lives. Some arrive with a diagnosis, treatment plan, or an array of therapeutic services that they want to understand and align better for best results. Some arrive unsure of what they want to accomplish.

My Background and Approach

You can expect to begin with a conversation about how we'll know when we're successful. I apply an evidence-driven solution-focused consultative approach. You shouldn't expect to work with me indefinitely - but rather just long enough to successfully accomplish your goals. Advanced training and extensive experience in individual, group, and family systems work at the Yale Child Study Center, The University of Rhode Island, several hospitals and community-based agencies, and my own consulting practice have all taught me to never let a good theory get in the way of a great practical solution!
