I work with individuals, couples, and families with an emphasis on emotions. I believe emotions are powerful forces in our lives which can impact our happiness and satisfaction. Many people go through traumatic events or difficult experiences which block their ability to make sense of their feelings. I will work with you to understand your feelings and find greater satisfaction. My approach is based on what works for you, so I will help you discover this. When working with couples, I also help partners to uncover underlying emotions and unexpressed needs.

I work with adult and older adolescent clients who are struggling to find life beyond their diagnosis. Whether a mood disorder, a chronic or acute medical condition, or difficulty establishing a healthy lifestyle, I work with my clients to develop not only coping skills but also help them find vitality in their lives. Difficulties in life are a given; extreme suffering is not.

A lot of focus on people with anxiety and depression disorder. Mood swings or other emotional midsections that are causing some level of conflict in their family, social, educational or financial life. A majority of the people I work vary in what they know about themselves from just knowing somethings and wanting to fix it to others being forced by a friend, family member or just some stranger that passed along my name to someone. Range of symptoms from minor to discharges from high levels of care.

My goal as a clinical psychologist is to foster change by helping my clients to develop insight into their thought patterns and to understand how one's thinking impacts on behavior and current emotional functioning. Through the use of cognitive behavioral strategies, and exploration of current and past relationships, I work with my clients to help them develop the necessary tools and insight to improve their overall emotional health. I believe in working in conjunction with other mental health professionals, physicians and schools to maximize client success.

Often the people who come to see me are seeking something something different. Many have tried more traditional forms of therapy, and haven't felt the kind of relief or transformation that they had hoped. Many have a spiritual side and seek to learn more about who they really are, and work toward their highest and most authentic sense of self and full potential. This work involves a search for meaning and integration that often isn't found in modalities that do not integrate mind, body and spirit. As Carl Jung said, "Who looks outside dreams. Who looks inside awakens."
