With over 20 years of experience treating children and young adults, I specialize in supporting those facing emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and learning differences. My approach integrates evidence-based strategies such as cognitive based therapy (CBT), mindfulness based tools, and, when appropriate, medication. As a physician, I am able to provide both talk-based support and pharmacologic treatment, offering a well-rounded and individualized approach to care.

The approach I bring to my work is one of compassionate curiosity in which we work together to develop a therapy that works for you. Therapy is only as effective as the strength and authenticity of the relationship you develop with your counselor. I incorporate elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness and existential therapy, but largely rely on the development of our relationship to inform our work.

I am passionate about working with adult individuals and couples. I collaborate with my clients to identify their goals for their relationships with self and others, effective coping mechanisms, and desires for their emotional health. As a therapist, I grew to love working with young adults as they aim to discover who they are on a deep emotional level. I named my practice ‘Higher Self Healing’ to reflect my belief that everyone deserves to live as their ‘highest’, most authentic self. In therapy, I work with all clients to explore their sense of self, relational patterns, core values, and the fulfillment they seek in life.

I love to work with kids and adolescents and their families. I believe people don't have "problems" but rather "challenges" they learn to move through or re-frame. Together we learn new ways of doing things; new ways of looking at things; find a new path of our own choosing that feels better than the one we were on; relate to ourselves and others in a healthier way; learn to smile and laugh more; find the things we are good at doing; make a contribution; stress less; be who we are meant to be, and love who we are as a person!

Psychotherapy, as I define it to my patients and students, is the collaborative inquiry between patient and therapist into the patient's patterns of interaction and patterns of expectation. This kind of study leads to greater personal and interpersonal freedom, which allows for the reduction or the elimination of symptoms. Psychotherapy can be of brief duration or an extended enterprise focusing on long term difficulties. The decision on which form of psychotherapy to undertake is usually based on an evaluation of 1 to 3 sessions, where a treatment plan is developed. I am interactive in my approach.

Therapy can be a profound experience, but it can also be a simple one. I help my patients figure out what they want out of life so they can go out and get it. My approach is centered around providing the time and space for you to talk, explore, study your feelings, and truly listen to yourself. In my experience, this is where the magic of psychotherapy begins. My patients are often individuals who are genuinely curious about themselves and their feelings. They want to set aside an hour each week to sit and talk.

I view therapy as a collaboration to help my clients learn about themselves, to access and build upon their internal natural resources, and to remove the barriers that inhibit their satisfaction and success. We work as a team to co-create a road map to reach goals. I do that by creating a safe and nonjudgmental environment to explore concerns and hopes. I serve as an effective and respectful sounding board, offering support to navigate in times of transition, cope with loss or illness, or deal with conflict.

Hello. I work with couples who wish to repair and strengthen their relationship. Some of the outcomes that my clients seek are improved ways of managing conflict, restoring affection and intimacy and creating greater stability in their relationship. While presenting concerns among couples seeking therapy are varied, almost all couples desire a secure love relationship that can help them face any adversity together. I hold this need central to my work with couples and help facilitate change that can be maintained over the long term.

As a therapist, I work not as a "shrink" but an "enhancer," helping clients work through past problems, engage the challenges of the present, and move towards a more fulfilling future. I am client-focused rather than technique-focused because each client-therapist relationship is unique, and techniques should be employed selectively to optimize change and growth. That said, clients can expect that I will:
1) Act as a strong ally, adding emotional and intellectual energy to their efforts to change,
2) Provide insight and fresh perspective that takes them beyond their usual patterns of perceiving and responding to life circumstances.

When we feel deeply connected and understood, we can live more authentically and joyfully. But when we feel stuck or conflicted, clarity can seem out of reach. With over 20 years of experience, I help clients work through challenges, heal from the past, and shift from simply doing to truly being—clear, connected, and engaged in life.
I specialize in supporting individuals and families who find themselves at a crossroads—whether in their relationships, careers, or ways of living. In my couples work, I help partners communicate more openly, understand each other more deeply, and create a stronger, more compassionate connection.

I use a psychodynamic approach that helps one understand how prior relationships and experiences understandably influence present day life. People come to see me to better understand themselves as well as feel and function better. Working together, we often find that the person has certain ways of dealing with life that hinder rather than help them have a fuller life. I help people understand why they feel, think and behave in ways that may have gone unexplored up to the time they see me. It is important to understand how culture, family, gender, and race affect one's life.

Even successful professionals & busy couples may feel powerless when facing a partner’s infidelity. Betrayal can feel like the one challenge that can’t be solved on it's own. Whether it was an emotional or physical affair, the shock can leave you heartbroken, confused, & unsure of what to do next. The long hours, high stress, & constant demands of work, family, and responsibilities can leave little room for connection at home. Unfortunately, if nothing changes, this can sometimes lead to cheating. Couples counseling provides a focused, results-driven space to process the pain, address relationship issues, & begin rebuilding trust.

Sometimes life throws us curveballs, and we might feel stressed, overloaded, or struggle to make decisions. You might be struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, mood dysregulation, unhealthy relationship patterns, major life decisions, professional and academic performance, or parenting issues. These challenges might be keeping you up at night or are interfering with your peace of mind. As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental environment for my clients, to explore their thoughts and feelings.

Change is hard. People often seek psychotherapy around change. They want to change. People in their life want them to change. Or some life change is affecting them in a meaningful way. Often, it's a combination. By working together I can help you in this challenge. I frequently work with adolescents and adults struggling with addiction in themselves or in their families. Many of my patients are addressing anxiety, depression, questions or challenges regarding their sexual orientation, infertility, life transitions, traumatic experiences or eating disorders and other compulsive behaviors. A lot of my patients are college or graduate students.
