My ideal client is someone who is ready to take the risk to fully embrace their strengths and their vulnerabilities in order to live a meaningful life.

The life pressures we feel can manifest as anxiety, anger or sadness that blocks our view and holds us back from the life fulfillment that we know can be ours. Therapy is not a mystery: it is logical, structured and often, life-changing. The goal of therapy is to bring awareness to patterns of self-defeating behavior, and emerge with a plan; steps that can heal relationships and bring control to your life. My therapeutic approach is short-term, practical and compassionate.

It is a priority of mine to provide clients with a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental space where we can build a therapeutic relationship based on trust. I believe that when people truly try to understand each other and get curious about one another as humans, essentially all behaviors just make sense. There is no place for judgment in healing. My skills are rooted in empathy and compassion, as we all have a desire to feel seen, heard, and understood. When my clients feel like I am in their corner and can be with them in their emotional experiences, I offer them the opportunity to create positive change in their lives.

I work with adolescents and adults as they work through issues related to mood, anxiety, grief, sexuality and relationship issues. I believe in the importance of finding satisfaction in your relationships. In my view, the majority of mood symptoms stem from relational issues and the way we interact with people. Positive, satisfying connections to people is fundamental to mental health.

Our work together will be suited to your needs. That is, one client may choose talk therapy, whereas another prefers the hands-on approach of energy field healing, and a third opts to combine both of these approaches. Regardless of the mode of treatment, we are always aware that the whole person includes body, mind and spirit and so will involve and integrate them as much as possible. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques including cognitive, skill building, Gestalt, client-centered, guided imagery, inner child work, or energy healing depending on the needs and style of growth of the client.

As a clinical neuropsychologist, I specialize in evaluating complex cognitive and behavioral problems that often pose a dilemma for individuals, parents, teachers, and treating professionals. I believe that a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation should provide an in-depth understanding of the entire person, including their cognitive style, emotional style, and strengths as well as weaknesses. The immediate goal is to arrive at an accurate diagnosis that will guide treatment, but the ultimate purpose is to promote deeper self-understanding and to enable each person to achieve his or her true potential.

You are absolutely exhausted and utterly frustrated with the amount of ideas and tasks you have in a given day or week that you mean to start or pick back up, but don’t. You feel too tired, overwhelmed, unmotivated or emotionally spent. You don’t know where to start. It all feels equally important…and then you feel ashamed, guilty, and discouraged with the lack of forward movement; thoughts like “What is wrong with me? Why can’t I get it together?!” are regularly crossing your mind...
