It is normal to experience feelings of anxiety, worry and overall dissatisfaction in your life. They key is to find a comforting environment in which you can work toward reducing those unwanted thoughts or behaviors and replacing them with results-driven, goal-oriented actions.

As a certified cognitive therapist, I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is an effective, proven method for treating anxiety, depression, OCD, panic disorders, phobias, and more. I provide patients with, and teach them to use, the tools needed to succeed in and outside of our sessions.

I am a warm, compassionate provider, and emphasize the importance of establishing a strong relationship built around understanding and trust.
