I am an adult and pediatric psychologist. Having been a practicing psychologist for over 20 years, my focus is cognitive behavior therapy. This involves changing the irrational beliefs behind stress, anxiety, and depression. Some of my specialties include women's issues, trauma, rape, OCD, teens, children, divorce, drug & alcohol related issues. Life is stressful. It sometimes feels like it's just too much to handle. Perhaps you are feeling tired all the time, anxious, depressed, unfulfilled in your relationships or job, or as though you are going through the motions of life experiencing little joy. You are not alone.

The main reason why I became a therapist and life coach was because as a school teacher I came in contact with a lot of children and adolescents who had issues that weren't being addressed properly. I made a commitment and took it upon myself to help children and teens so that they could become happy, confident, independent, self-sufficient members of society. I will help you and your family members get through uncertain and difficult times successfully by working with your child on developing better coping skills, communication skills, more positive behaviors, enhanced self-esteem and different ways to overcome life's adversities.

Life can be difficult and challenging at times. You might be struggling with depression, anxiety, loss, relationship problems, career issues, or simply looking to live a happier and more stress- free life. We often believe that seeking help is a sign of weakness, and that counseling can be an intimidating prospect. Taking that first step in finding help is scary, but you do not have to struggle alone. Even if you are feeling hopeless and overwhelmed, you can overcome the obstacles that hold you back from success and happiness. Challenges or crises can be opportunities for growth and change.

I'm in my 40s. At some point in life, all of us have felt the toll of stress, anxiety, sadness or conflict. Stressors are part of our lives and affect us in different ways. How we respond to them is an exercise of resilience that requires personal effort – sometimes more than we are capable of offering at the moment. If you ever felt that way, you are not alone. A great therapist can make you feel like you are simply having a conversation and yet prompts you to revisit concepts and possible outcomes or solutions. Client and therapist should work together in a therapeutic relationship supported by trust, respect and confidentiality.

Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists
How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
