If your problem is anxiety such as phobias (driving, bridges, heights, flying), constant worries, panic attacks, OCD, trauma, health concerns, and depression, I can help you. Persons who are otherwise function well can suffer from these problems. I'd like to help you with what you want to change. I want to understand your thinking patterns and how they impact your body, emotions, and behaviors, which may be affecting your problems. I will help you learn effective anxiety coping skills and problem solving skills so that after treatment, you will be equipped to deal with problems that arise in life.

It is a mystery as to why things happen to us. It becomes even more complex as to how we will heal. Sometimes the emotional pain can become too difficult to get through alone and we often seek additional help. Whether you're suffering from a loss of a loved one, a marital conflict, stress, anxiety, or even PTSD, there is still hope. I believe that true healing comes from healthy attachments to self and others, meaningful mind-body connections, and by gaining better control over your thoughts, emotions and physical being.

I firmly believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the curative factor for any mental health concern. In keeping with this belief I am a collaborative therapist who uses a supportive approach to challenge clients to push themselves to create change in their lives in a way that aligns with their beliefs, goals, and values. My therapeutic framework is integrative, drawing upon a spectrum of modalities such as psychodynamic theory, motivational interviewing, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. This versatile approach enables me to tailor interventions to suit the unique needs and circumstances of each individual client.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed? Struggling with your relationships? We humans are wired for connection. When life's experiences damage those connections, we end up depressed, anxious, angry & unhappy, often turning to unhealthy lifestyles including alcohol, food, drugs & overspending. We suffer & our relationships suffer. Therapy allows time for exploring these disconnections & learning new skills for connecting to ourselves, others & the world, so we can live the life we want. I can help you clarify & work productively with these issues, develop your strengths, & experience a greater overall sense of well-being.

My clinical practice is specialized to help adolescents & adults struggling with eating disorders, body image, OCD, PTSD, phobias, & other anxiety concerns. My ideal client has goals related to behavior change to improve functioning and quality of life. I believe that such goals are achieved by reconstructing problematic thoughts, exposing to fears, tolerating discomfort, effectively regulating emotions, and changing unhelpful behaviors. I also believe that a strong therapeutic alliance functions as a vehicle for change. I emphasize scientifically-proven treatments to help clients make measurable progress in a time-efficient manner.

I work with clients by utilizing their strengths in order to find solutions to their emotional and behavioral concerns. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral techniques that are individualized to your needs and focusing on a collaborative relationship we will work together to improve your ability to cope with life's stressors. We will identify the negative thought patterns that interfere with your ability to reach your maximum potential by learning more adaptive thought patterns that don't interfere with what you hope to accomplish.

Have you suffered a trauma - rape, auto accident, military incident and relive the horror? Are you anxious and constantly afraid? You may have PTSD. Call for a free consultation.
