Are you struggling in the workplace and/or with your relationships ? I am a skilled licensed psychologist and I work with children and adults within the context of their families. I treat anxiety, depression, phobias, OCD , mood disorders and learning disabilities, and often use cognitive behavioral interventions such as systematic desensitization. My background in School Psychology has sensitized me to the impact that cognitive limitations, learning disabilities, ADHD and spectrum disorders have on day to day functioning in adulthood, where the most typical presenting problems are Anxiety, Depression, and Relationship issues.

We all have potential to be great friends, romantic partners, family members, or workers. But we all encounter roadblocks such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and other stressors that impact our mental health, which can make it more difficult to engage these roles in the way we'd want. Sometimes we feel lost as to how to maneuver around these roadblocks. I want you to know that you don't have to walk this path alone. In working together, we will focus on developing the skills to help you overcome these roadblocks, so that you can be the person you truly want to be.

I have been in private practice for the past twelve years, specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorders.

As a psychotherapist with extensive training and experience working with the adolescent and adult population, I’ve helped many individuals suffering from OCD, Anxiety, and Sex Addiction. My clients have seen powerful results as they learn to transform negative patterns towards living calm, productive, and meaningful lives. Having received training from Dr. Jonathan Grayson and Dr. Reid Wilson, world renowned OCD and Anxiety experts respectively, I have gained particular expertise in the treatment of these disorders.

People who seek treatment are often burdened with the worry that it might take too long, will "not work" or will come back. Since beginning clinical practice, I have always made it my business to have my patients engage in the therapy both in and out of session, understand the therapy process and stick to one's goals. The CBT model that I use and tailor to each particular individual's need, helps empower patients to reach their goals both in therapy and beyond... in life itself.

Psychologists provide a unique perspective when assisting clients in doing the often difficult work of facing their own emotions and the situation that led them to seek help. The goal is for clients to process their emotions, learn skills, and practice change-oriented strategies to help them overcome the hurdles they are facing. This often results in clients who feel more balanced, resilient, and confident in handling unexpected situations as they arise.
