I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience in evidence-based treatments and have particular expertise in the cognitive-behavioral treatment of PTSD, anxiety disorders, depression, and self-harm behaviors.
I believe that long-lasting and meaningful change is most likely to occur in the context of validation and acceptance. I approach my clients with openness, compassion, and curiosity. This stance ensures that any treatment plan we develop is comprehensive, culturally-sensitive, personalized, and effectively considers the unique experiences and situations that contribute to the challenges you face. Moreover, although it is important that you experience relief from your symptoms, it is even more important that this relief is in service of helping you build the meaningful and fulfilling life you want to live.

My ideal clients are driven to achieve their goals but grapple with stress, anxiety, and depression.

They want to break free from the mental health challenges that are holding them back so that they can live the life they want to live.

For me, there is no ideal client. To some extent, everyone is on a spectrum of depression and anxiety, and I seek to work with clients who need assistance becoming oriented toward improvement. I have personal and professional experience and understand how difficult it is to find someone patient enough to grow alongside a client through the therapeutic process. I want to work alongside you to help you live a happy, meaningful life with these conditions.

What if I told you that you can stop having anxiety, intrusive thoughts or that pit in your stomach feeling? You might think, ‘Doesn’t everyone feel like this? This is just life, right?’ The answer is no! You don’t have to carry this yuck around with you anymore. Change is possible with EMDR therapy. We all have life experiences that impact us in minor and major ways that leave a lasting impression on us. Imagine a life where you have lessened anxiety or depression symptoms. You can have less inner conflict, better decision making, and enhanced self-control.

If you are anxious, depressed or struggling with a difficult situation, therapy gives you tools to reduce your distress and function more effectively. It provides you with an opportunity to look at behaviors, relationship dynamics and environmental factors which you can change to reach your goals. Therapy will also help you identify strategies to come to terms with the difficult elements in your life which cannot be changed.
Psychotherapy is particularly helpful in managing relationships and adjusting to life's challenges associated with parenting, aging, illness and loss, including the death of loved ones.
