I am a therapist specializing in cognitive-based therapies where we take an active stance at changing the way you talk to yourself and act in your life. While we cannot erase traumas from the past or inevitable pain we may encounter today or in the future, I can equip you with tools to face these obstacles and feel confident in your ability to tackle problems as they arise.

How does "therapy" work? Psychotherapy works by helping you look at feelings, thoughts and behavior in situations which you find problematic. It helps you to learn more effective ways in dealing with those situations. Psychotherapy is a collaborative effort. You and I will identify your goals -- what you want to have happen, and agree on how you'll know when you're making progress. I will talk to you about the length of time it may take to help you see changes. Progress, and change, can happen.

Accepting new clients! It is not always easy separating our personal lives from our professional lives when the boundaries we try to maintain in order to excel in both spheres often bleed into each other. You want to bring the best of yourself to all facets of your life, but when issues such as substance abuse, depression, marital strife, family problems, & conflicts with co-workers are so prevalent, how do we cope? What do we do with our mental and emotional baggage? How do we remain balanced and calm when the world we live in demands so much of us?

Are you concerned about your child's wellbeing? As a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of clinical experience, I specialize in treating children/adolescents who present with anxiety, depression, and disruptive behaviors that impact their functioning in home, school, and social settings. I enjoy working with children and their parents helping children learn how to regulate and tolerate feelings (anger, frustration, sadness, and anxiety), manage challenging/disruptive/impulsive behaviors, and acquire adaptive, positive coping skills. I assist parents in learning how to regulate their own feelings and be aware of their behaviors so they can help their child.

One of my favorite quotes in life is “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” I believe that every person on earth has a gift, a talent, or something unique that they can offer and use to change their lives, their community, and eventually their environment. As a clinical therapist, I assist clients in discovering and empowering themselves so that they can create the life that they always dreamed of having.

Are you and your partner having the same argument on repeat? Has the intimacy and romance been replaced with distance and frustration? Seemingly little things become explosive arguments. And trying to talk about it leads to more conflict. Worse yet, the distance and disconnection is deafening. The unresolved issues are getting worse, and you are left feeling exhausted, invalidated, and alone. Every passing day feels like one step closer to your breaking point. Your family means everything to you and you worry it's taking a toll on your kids. You want more than anything to reconnect with your partner and finally feel heard.

My goal as a therapist is to work collaboratively to understand and address the issues that are standing in the way of you leading your most meaningful and satisfying life. I believe that healing occurs in relationships and therefore it is important that we work together to relieve the symptoms of distress that brought you to therapy while simultaneously developing and exploring our therapeutic relationship. My approach is highly tailored to the individual and integrates psychodynamic perspectives along side evidenced-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness.

Stressed, stretched, or scattered doesn’t have to be your normal. The people I work with usually have spent months thinking about doing therapy before taking action. Some hesitate thinking, “I’m just being lazy, I need to be more disciplined, more organized, and stop procrastinating. I just need to try harder.” Others think, “I’m worrying over nothing, it’s silly, I just need to ignore the worry. It’s not that hard.” But it’s not working, hasn’t worked, and it’s fueling the “just try harder loop.” You still feel stressed, stretched, or scattered. If you’ve tried trying hard and trying harder, maybe it’s time to try something else.

I'm told I'm warm, smart, and that I have a good sense of humor. I believe therapy has got to change lives -- and be enjoyable. Unlike some therapists, I believe in setting goals and tracking progress. Why go to therapy without results? What's my specialty? Helping people free themselves from what holds them back. My approach combines Positive Psychology and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) with mindfulness and a creative mix of the best approaches known to modern psychology.
