Are you struggling with feeling like yourself? Has it been a while since you've felt your usual energy, good mood, and positivity? Maybe you're a new mom getting used to caring for your little one.

Sometimes, it can be a challenge to see "the forest through the trees." Having someone to talk to who is outside your circle of family and friends, to reflect back what's important to you, can be the crucial piece that helps you build the bridge back to yourself. This is one aspect of what I do when working with people interested in creating improved health, positive relationships, or achieving an important goal. If you are struggling with depression or anxiety, or wanting to discover your specific formula for happiness, I'd consider it a privilege to work with you.

The client-therapist relationship is the single most important factor in successful therapy. Taking the time to build this rapport is a crucial step when I work with someone. I also believe therapy is a collaborative process. The client must feel empowered to lead their therapy process, while I can support and guide them to meet their goals. Ideal clients include those who genuinely want to identify areas of challenge in their life and make progress. At the end of therapy sessions, my goal is for my clients to feel better than when they walked into the session.

At Heart Light, we believe that personal growth is a natural psychological process that fundamentally belongs to you, not to us.
Some mental health professionals seem to imagine themselves as mental and emotional surgeons, whose goal is to identify problems and then fix them for you.
We envision ourselves as more akin to doctors that deliver babies. We are ready to intervene as and when needed, but our primary role is to facilitate a natural process that belongs, first and foremost, to you.
Our goal is to guide and encourage your growth by helping you to empower yourself.

Hippocrates once said, healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity. According to Hippocrates, to heal yourself, you must create the opportunity to do so. In a fast-paced world, healing takes a secondary role. Heavy workloads, family demands, and the pressures of society can cause us to feel drained mentally, physically, and emotionally.

There are so many individuals and families that I enjoy working with. What I am most passionate about is working with individuals struggling to find peace with his/her/their body, food, and self-worth. This topic has been the focus of my training and professional life for nearly a decade. Working in higher levels of care has provided extensive training with emphasis on disordered eating and mood and anxiety diagnoses, as well as substance abuse. This training has helped to address patterns that often appear in family milieus and where shame often perpetuates the cycle of maladaptive behaviors.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of experience in mental health and wellness. My passion stems from wanting to help others learn new ways of coping with their environment and garnering new skills to help manage current life stressors and hurdles. My belief is that from early childhood we learn healthy, and sometimes unhealthy, strategies to manage challenges. Coping styles, especially maladaptive ones, work for a period of time, but may become ineffective. When this occurs, people often seek therapy. My job as a therapist is to help you learn, and implement, healthier coping strategies.
