As psychologist, I try to approach you as a whole person in all your psychological and spiritual needs. If you have problems in living, may they be caused by mental illness or extreme stress; together, we will find solutions. I teach you to listen to yourself and use your resources to deal with the difficulties you encounter: like stress, loss, anxiety, worries, depression or hopelessness, and the psychological consequences of medical illness and disabilities. I believe that there is meaning in every life, that there is a worthwhile goal for everyone and that you can find it.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a doctoral degree in counseling psychology and a doctoral degree in Forensic Psychology. I have been licensed for nineteen years. My theoretical orientation is CBT, however, I also use some humanistic theory and solution focused theory. I work primarily with depression, anxiety, ptsd and trauma. I believe that it is important for you to feel completely comfortable with the person you choose for therapy because if you do not feel safe to share and be transparent, it can hinder and limit your ability to really address the issues that bring you to therapy.

I was trained in rendering brief and short term therapy since we all want quick results. How do I do that? I am interactive with my clients and not just provide “talk therapy”, but rather, we will co-create a plan together to help you achieve positive results. I hold my clients accountable and will assign homework. I will give you my input, impressions, and at times, challenge you when those defenses are up. In life, when we’re faced with challenges, it only promotes growth and strength. At the same time, we will give you the positive regard, reflective listening, and be your cheerleader. We will empower you, not enable you.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 18 years of experience working with individuals and couples, I have spent much of my career counseling clients from a variety of backgrounds and ages.

I have also received training in some of the most effective and relevant trauma treatments such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for clients with PTSD.

Each of us go through different seasons in our life where change can happen unexpectedly. At times there can be so much pressure to be successful personally and professionally and sometimes it can be challenging to be our authentic selves. Past or present circumstances can leave us feeling stuck, confused, fearful or hopeless. Those feelings are valid and it is important that they are heard and understood. I am a strong believer in the power of therapy where an individual can truly be their honest self. We all deserve a safe place to be open about our history, our emotions, and our dreams and I am here to offer that space.
