History
I began working therapeutically with children and adolescents close to 20 years ago as a music therapist. I'm currently a licensed clinical psychologist (CA 27984) though true to my roots as a music therapist my approach is creative and playful. I believe that self-development is often easiest and most meaningful when youth are fully engaged in motivating activities, which can span from music and video recording to outdoor adventure. My sessions are designed around the interest and needs of my young clients. When I am supporting parents, teachers, and related service providers, I emphasize developmental issues that help adults better understand, relate to, and encourage the young people in their lives.
Specialties
Specializing in serving children, adolescents, and families I offer a caring, solution-focused approach to therapy, psychoeducational assessment, and advocacy work. This includes a variety of service options to accommodate the diverse needs of the families and educational systems I serve, including in-home services, teletherapy, school consultations and trainings, and office spaces in both Mill Valley and Corte Madera, CA.
