You are a high achiever with perfectionistic tendencies and often feel overwhelmed by your thoughts or feelings, avoiding them is easier but may not be working anymore. You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, depersonalization, ADHD, chronic pain, OCD, overwhelm, or desire increased self-care and self-esteem. Relationships often feel challenging, causing you to question if you do in fact deserve meaningful connections with others. You yearn for deeper connections, however, may be uncertain where to begin. You question if the fragments of your past came together, perhaps your story would feel more complete.

Depression can feel like living in a deep, dark hole. You may have no energy, no hope that things will improve. You may be hearing some of the lies that depression tells us; it will never get better, you've already tried everything, why bother, you're always going to feel this way. Depression may tell you that you aren't strong enough to make changes in your life. Depression can drain the joy out of a sunny day, leaving you feeling hopeless and exhausted. You may be wondering how everyone else has it all sorted, and believe that if you were just a better person, you'd be ok.

I love to work with people of all ages, but I have a passion for working with children and young adults. While we are not born with the emotional skills and knowledge needed to navigate life and form lasting relationships, they are crucial to our happiness. Whether learning basic coping skills or exploring more complex mental health issues, my clients all share a common goal: improving their day-to-day lives.

It is possible to feel better and make changes in your life. As a clinical psychologist, I can help you explore emotions related to current problems and teach you new ways of communicating and managing your feelings. My role is to help you feel better and increase your awareness both about yourself and the things you do. By increasing your understanding of past and present experiences, you can also improve your mood, your relationships, and overall functioning.

Therapy can be helpful for everyone, not just for people struggling with mental health diagnoses. Whether you’re looking to better manage symptoms of a disorder or simply pursue internal growth, I can help you through it. I provide weekly therapy sessions where we work together to explore patterns of behavior, symptoms, relationships, and anything else that is important to you in your life – both past and present. I work best with clients who are committed to therapy sessions at least once a week - this creates consistency for you and it allows us the time to do this transformative work together.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS via Telehealth! I enjoy working with clients as they gain insight into their struggles so they can identify healthy tools to overcome those struggles. My clients will encounter a non-judgmental and caring environment that promotes growth, healing and empowerment. Because everyone comes to therapy with unique challenges and values, I use an individualized approach to meet clients' specific needs, incorporating research-based strategies that draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction approach.

Clients who have an interest in understanding the underlying dynamics of their feelings and how they translate to behaviors, often find our work together to be a good fit. Gradually, we work together to help you get comfortable as you consider authentic trust and honesty in session, even when topics might be awkward or deeply personal. Therapy feels and works best when a client is open to emotional discomfort, as well as open to the revelation that can come as we work together to explore their inner world with courage and curiosity.

With over 40 years of experience as a psychotherapist I am committed to helping others find solutions to their problems in a safe, caring and confidential environment. I believe as adults we are responsible for the choices we make in life. If we don't like the way things are, and can't accept our past, it is our responsibility to learn to recognize and change the things we can, especially our self-defeating behaviors. I believe that with professional counseling we can increase our knowledge and skills for making better choices, finding solutions to our problems, and making changes that last.

I currently have immediate telehealth availability! Therapy can be intimidating and challenging so I make it my top priority to provide a safe and trusting environment where you can just be yourself. I focus on providing a caring, safe, and nonjudgmental environment to support you as you begin to address and cope with the challenges in your life. For LLPCs: I am taking on LLPCs for supervision.

Are you finding yourself at a moment in your life where you've lost track of who you are? Maybe it's a new baby, change in career or you're suddenly an empty nester. Maybe you're experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety that you can't pinpoint a cause for. Regardless of the circumstances, it can feel disorienting and you may suddenly find yourself in need of support. Specifically, someone to talk to and someone to help you figure out how to get yourself back on track.

Hi there, thanks for stopping by. You are here looking for support. Does life feel overwhelming? Are you watching your child struggling and you're at a loss for what to do? Is your family stuck in a bad rut and you're not sure how to make it better? Are all of the current social issues causing you to lose sleep at night?

I am a fully licensed psychologist with over 40 years of experience treating adolescents, adults, elderly, individuals, couples and families. My approach is eclectic, using whatever therapeutic techniques are appropriate to each individual's needs. I am an interactive therapist. Short term therapy is my preferred approach, in order to enable individuals to become healthier, more functional and to move on without interminable therapy. My practice also consists of forensic psychology and industrial/organizational psychological consultation. I coach employees, managers and corporate executives. Initial appointments are within at most within one week of client's contact.

I believe in a client-centered approach to meet you where you are in your journey. I seek to identify what motivates you and what you’d like to achieve to help you reach your desired goals. Together we will uncover your strengths, find your inner voice, and discover your unique characteristics and values to determine your path forward. You will be empowered to find who and what is important to you and address the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that serve as a barrier to being present in your day to day life. Through insight and willingness to activate behavioral change you will see what is within your control with clarity.

I am a clinical psychologist. I strive to give everyone who enters my office the opportunity to search deep in themselves, and truly find who they are and who they want to be. I listen objectively and without judgment. In order for healing to take place I believe a client needs to be heard but also understood and validated and given the tools that work for them. My goal is to help clients understand, manage, and learn to cope with any trauma, depression, anxiety, and addiction. My hope is to help be a support as the people I work with find healing.
