Life has many challenges. It's how you grow from your past that defines who you are in life. You may feel alone, misunderstood, and unfulfilled with your life or personal relationships. Perhaps you're having intense negative emotions. People typically enter therapy when they are in distress, although it's usually the long-term and underlying struggles that concern them the most. Initially, we will work quickly to address your immediate pain and provide relief. As therapy progresses, our focus may shift so you develop more positive and enriching relationships with yourself and others.

Are your emotions getting the best of you, influencing behaviors that impact your relationships, career, or sense of self? Are worry thoughts or your mood becoming increasingly challenging? Building the life you want is tough when strong emotions interfere and it's possible to rein them in. In our sessions, we'll work diligently to understand what needs to change and what skills you can learn to get back on track.

Let's work together to help your child, your family, or you navigate these networks, and to learn the skills to live a mindful and joyful life. As a licensed clinical psychologist with experience working in schools, I am here to guide you through the ups and downs of your journey.

My areas of expertise include addictions, life transitions (divorce, parenting, aging), trauma and abuse, and forensic or court-related psychological evaluations (Juvenile, Criminal, and Immigration courts).
Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. Many of our pitfalls, our "relapses" in behavior, are related to maladaptive patterns with family or intimate partners. Our work in therapy is to understand these patterns and learn how to change them. If depression is dwelling in the past, and anxiety is living in the future, our therapeutic goal is to live in the present, towards a more authentic and mindful reality.
