I have over 23 years of experience helping children, adolescents, individuals, couples and families lead healthier and more rewarding lives. I empower clients from a wide range of backgrounds, including many with special needs, by helping them build self-awareness, identify their challenges, and gain the tools to regain confidence and purpose in their lives. My skills and expertise can help you tackle your emotional, behavioral, or professional challenges, strengthen your innate abilities, and help you achieve your goals.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
