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.

We all experience suffering. For each of us, suffering can come from a different place. Are you a parent, feeling overwhelmed, and like your kids are out of control? Are you a teen, feeling that your parents are too demanding, and out of touch? Maybe you're struggling with sexual or gender identity issues, and feel like there is no one you can talk to about it? These are some of the sources of suffering my clients have shared.

The focus of our practice, is to assist adults, children, and families with obtaining relatable therapy. We assess past situations in your life which contribute to current emotions behaviors and thought patterns. With child and adolescent clients our focus is similar, with the addition of close communication with the family. Moreover, with child and adolescents, we will focus on depression, impulsive behavior, limited attention span, oppositional/defiant behaviors, dishonesty, and social issues in school/home. Family and/or friends are welcome in your sessions for support. We do offer 430p-630p, and weekend appointments.
