Whether you are looking for a therapist because of recent difficulties or challenges that started years ago, you will find that I offer a rare combination of rigorous training with a down-to-earth style to help you achieve your goals. As an established professor and author in the field, I am well-versed in the latest research to ensure your problems are resolved as efficiently as possible using the most effective methods available.

Finding and reaching out to the right psychologist can be one of the hardest parts of therapy. I have extensive experience treating anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder ( OCD), insomnia, and trauma. Anxiety and trauma affect all aspects of life, including work, school, sleep, personal relationships, physical health, and overall functioning. Many people feel isolated, alone, and helpless. I've seen therapy make a huge positive difference in people's lives - and it can be a truly wonderful, though challenging, experience. My practice primarily focuses on these issues among older adolescents, adults, and pregnant/postpartum mothers.

My focus is to assist individuals, couples, and families in understanding how their thoughts affect their feelings and behavior. By using this approach, problems in every-day living (including but not limited to depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorder [especially in adults and adolescents] eating disorders, post-partum concerns, couple conflict, and teen/family problems) are addressed and resources are mobilized to provide effective change. Also, in an effort to strengthen marriage and families, I have created a comprehensive pre-marital program and effective parenting course.

I am an expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Common statements I hear: "Nobody can understand what I am going through; nobody can help, nothing works." Tired of dealing with your issue and feeling stuck? Tried therapy but were not given concrete tools/skills to resolve your issues? Most of us want to have a healthy self-esteem, confidence and belief in our own abilities so that we can achieve our goals and be motivated to change and excel. We want to have a healthy frame of mind and feel good about ourselves, others and the world. If you commit to CBT and do the work you will make changes and achieve what you are seeking.

You feel trapped somewhere between feeling like a kid and being an adult. While you may be working, in relationships, or managing certain aspects of life, you feel like you are chronically “faking it til you make it”. You find yourself imagining a life that feels more in control, but wonder how do I get there? You may not feel like you have all the answers, but what you do know is that you want to figure it out.

I am inspired by seeing clients grow and improve their lives. Having personal experience with evolving from an unhappy person to someone healthy and loving life, I wish to walk alongside my clients on that journey. I believe in honest, open, and collaborative therapy. I love to help a people identify their genuine values, beliefs, and goals and work with them to achieve positive change. No trick questions or manipulations! I love to work with young people who are skeptical about adults’ ideas, who needs to process their historical trauma at their own pace, and anyone who needs a respectful and compassionate person in their life.

I am compassionate, yet solution focused in my approach to therapy. I have helped many patients lead more happy and productive lives. My approach to therapy is primarily through cognitive/behavioral interventions for individual therapy and when working with children the entire family is often asked to participate. I like to promote an authentic helping therapeutic environment which promotes positive growth and greater self awareness. I am dedicated to my patients and their desire to reach their goals.

Sometimes we find ourselves seeking help and support when life hands us a path we aren't prepared to deal with. I believe that understanding and exploring the authentic self is essential in overcoming many complex struggles. I work to help uncover what my clients basic truth is, and in doing so work with anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, parenting, pregnancy, and family dynamics.
