I am a firm believer that what we truly need in life is a safe space where we are seen, heard, and listened to. We want to be accepted for who we are and not be judged for our mistakes and/or shortcomings. I have an array of client experience with mental health struggles such as depression, anxiety, PTSD/history of trauma, life transitioning, parenting dilemmas, career challenges, and much more. The steps and needs may look different, but the goal of providing everyone with a safe space is the same.

Though rooted in a humanistic approach to psychotherapy, I am also trained and certified in several Evidence-Based Treatments including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD (CPT), prolonged exposure (PE), EMDR and Cognitive Behavior therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
As a Board Certified Clinical Psychologist, I have expertise in the treatment of survivors of adversity and unforeseen life events. For some of us, life is often unpredictable and certain experiences may throw us off balance. Yet for others, life seems to have been difficult and unmanageable since the beginning and getting on track has been unmet despite the desperation and effort. If you have accepted the need to "make a change", you may consider reaching out to me as an objective and nonjudgemental professional who can support and guide you towards building a life that you experience as "worth living"; whatever that may look like.

Although I have extensive training and education in Humanistic Psychology and Cognitive-Behavioral approaches to mental health treatment, another important approach to therapy comes from a wellness-based model of health.
Clients seeking treatment typically find that their coping skills which had previously worked, are no longer working. I help individuals and couples regain resilience and strength, which may have been lost during challenging and trying times as well as during major life transitions. My strengths lie in providing pre-surgical evaluations as well as counseling for individuals undergoing Bariatric Surgery for weight loss. As a service to my clients, my office will handle insurance billing for you. Privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance. Therapy takes place in a quiet, safe, and peaceful environment.

In the individual setting I use a humanistic and cognitive-behavioral approach that is very client-centered.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and overly emotional? Trying to "fix" things on your own without success? Untreated, these feelings often lead to anxiety, depression, family conflict and increase stress; this prevents you from living your life to the fullest. Coping during stressful times requires talking to a compassionate professional who will treat you with dignity and respect. The goal of therapy is for each person to reach their highest potential in all areas of their lives. I treat children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing various emotional and psychological symptoms.
