Due to a referral increase, please email me in lieu of phone calls. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment in which to explore the issues creating difficulty for each individual or couple. I treat a range of issues, from depression, anxiety disorders, unresolved grief, adjustment problems, stress management, relationship concerns, GLBT issues, past trauma to an immediate crisis to a general feeling of dissatisfaction with the present state of your life. All of these issues cause a great deal of distress, but can also be opportunities for immense personal growth and change.

Currently accepting 12 Steps of Anger Management group members! Through my experience as a therapist in the mental health field, I've come to believe that change occurs through gaining insight into our own thinking processes. When we begin to learn more about our thinking patterns, which generally arise from past experiences, we begin to change the way we feel. The therapeutic journey begins by identifying reoccurring themes. The process continues by coaching you to master your triggers and develop counter actions. It is through this process that you will be empowered to handle your life problems with more ease.

Do you struggle with challenging your anxious thoughts? Do you struggle with low self-esteem? Well, if you're looking at PsychologyToday, it means you're ready to make some positive changes! Honestly, that's the most important trait in a client - the motivation and openness to change and grow. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and any other mental health challenges do not need to stop your life. Mental health is a part of you; I can teach you how to work WITH your mental health rather than trying to suppress, deny, or reject it. (And if I do not have any current openings, I'm happy to refer you to one of my amazing colleagues!)
