Tired of analyzing, re-analyzing and over-analyzing, but never getting anywhere? Feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed? Do you find yourself constantly resorting to the "quick fix" and/or negative patterns of behavior? My practice offers a unique blend of PSYCHOTHERAPY & COACHING where enhanced insight/self-awareness are accompanied by an "action plan." -Designed for the "do-ers," -versus those who prefer to "talk about doing," my practice promotes forward movement through the development of greater self-esteem/self-confidence, enhanced coping skills, improved problem-solving strategies, and a core belief that one CAN achieve stated personal, relationship & career-based goals.

At Feeling Good Psychotherapy, we care deeply about the individuals who come to us with a desire to feel more happiness in their lives. For Aristotle, the most notable of the metaphysical philosophers, happiness is the highest desire and ambition of all human beings. The ancient Greeks also believed happiness is attainable; something one cultivates within oneself, and this 2000-year-old approach to enlightenment is strikingly similar to a new scientifically-proven therapeutic approach called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).

No matter what you are going through, you deserve to feel supported and heard. By fostering a trusting and non judgemental atmosphere, we can work through your challenges and stressors together in order to get you on track to living a more fulfilling and joyous life. Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based practices, we will empower you to heal, grow, and thrive in your day-to-day life. Your wellbeing is my top priority, so come as you are and take the first step in working towards becoming the best version of yourself.

​Dealing with difficult feelings, thoughts, and situations can be challenging and isolating. I find so much value in people struggling with depression and anxiety, as well as those dealing with grief, relationship, and family issues. I also really enjoy working with people who struggle with body image and are looking to develop a better relationship with food, and a better relationship with the self in general. I am constantly learning from my clients who are the expert of their own lives. Additionally, I utilize an advanced evidence-based approach to cognitive behavioral therapy and my holistic approach aims to empower you!

Asking for help is not easy, so congratulations on taking the first step toward self-improvement and fulfillment. Through our partnership, I hope to help you better understand yourself in terms of how you function in your personal relationships, and help you see patterns that may be causing distress. My style is one that primarily focuses on empathy and insight. Though talking about issues that come up in therapy may initially be difficult, with time you will notice you are seeing yourself in a new light, and that you are able to accomplish positive change.

I feel that therapy is most effective when the patient and therapist work both in the present and the past. Often the patient seeks therapy in order to relieve a symptom (i.e. depression, anxiety) or to resolve a relationship issue and they want relief quickly. I understand this need to feel better as quickly as possible but also feel that it is important to address early interpersonal issues that are having an impact on current relationships. In working along these parallel paths patients often feel relief of symptoms and gain a better understanding of lifelong dysfunctional patterns.

I help patients struggling with death anxiety, narcissistic abuse, and relationship issues, seeking freedom from toxic dynamics, a robust sense of self, and healthy relationships built on mutual respect. They desire empowerment, self-worth, and confidence.

Above all, therapy is a place to be your real, authentic self. I support clients experiencing a range of life challenges by fostering a safe, trusting environment where they can develop self-compassion as they gain insight about current life situations, contextualize the impact of past experiences, and develop clarity on future goals. Through the use of highly effective evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we will create strategies for empowering you to take control of your thoughts and behaviors, and let go of the negative patterns that no longer serve you.

What life challenges are you facing? Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Maybe you're wrestling with addiction, a difficult relationship, or interpersonal interactions. Or, perhaps you want to improve some behavioral issues and develop healthier habits. I work with these issues and more. I am a trained Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and also utilize evidence-based therapy for treating individuals of all ages who have experienced trauma and physical, psychological, or sexual abuse. In addition to working with adults, I provide individual and group therapy to children and adolescents struggling with emotional and behavioral problems.

In life there are so many questions that are unanswered or you might feel the need to figure out. Whether it be to find a career you’re successful in, establish steady relationships or develop new hobbies, this uncertainty may create a lot of stress in your life. For this reason, you may be struggling with feelings of not being good enough, which results in a sense of hopelessness and frustration about life and what it should be. We receive these messages from family, friends and social media that it is important to be accepted, but can simultaneously struggle with feelings of loneliness and inadequacy from trying to achieve it.
