I have always loved listening to people and helping them through all kinds of feelings stemming from losses, to relationships and family, to physical pain and emotional pain. My fascination in the mind, lead me into training as a therapist 22 years ago and have not stopped. I continue to want to know more about theories in psychoanalysis, art therapy and counseling. Understanding the intricacies and complexities of being human has been my life's work. I believe the act of talking about every part of ones life, in the presence of a therapist with an open ear and who’s able to understand ones emotional needs is curative in its self.

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.

Exploring the lived human experience involves acknowledging its diverse challenges, wide range of emotions, and the essential role of healthy relationships. Therapy is a blend of empathy, empowerment, unwavering support, and professional guidance. It provides a constructive framework for individuals to explore, understand, and ultimately embrace their authentic selves. The focus should always be on the client's growth and progress. I take immense pride in my clients' accomplishments, celebrating them as if they were my own.

Sometimes, you just need someone to talk to, someone who is a good listener and, most importantly, non-judgmental. Talking to a stranger about very personal issues is hard. It takes time to develop a bond and establish trust with a therapist. I am aware of that and strive to give the client as much time as he or she needs. Feeling worried and nervous is a reasonable response to uncertain circumstances, exacerbated by the stressors caused by the pandemic. Deciding to get help is a proactive and healthy step towards change and self-acceptance.
