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.

I work with people who struggle with excessive worrying, overthinking, and restlessness, trauma, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, as well as those who generally just want to improve their lives. I work with many college age individuals, as well as adults across the lifespan, who are exploring issues around identity, relationships, and life crises. I work best with clients who are wanting to grow and are willing to look inward to develop a deeper, more profound sense of self.

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.
