I am an exceptional listener, mentor and guide who works with people dealing with depression, mood disorders, anxiety, and addiction. My practice is patient-centered: I am trained in a number of treatment modalities, but they can only be effective if an honest, trusting relationship is forged between me and my patient. Creating that relationship cannot be one-sided; it must be collaborative. My first order of business when meeting a new client is to begin developing trust on both sides. I ask questions. I listen. I offer honest feedback. I keep my mind and heart open.

I have worked in multiple settings such as medical centers and outpatient clinics and have experience treating a wide variety of mental health conditions including depression, anxiety/panic, phobias, post-traumatic stress, relationship difficulties, and more. A health psychologist by training, I am passionate about working with adults who are struggling with co-occurring medical and mental health symptoms (e.g., insomnia, coping with medical diagnoses & surgery, chronic pain, organ transplant, etc.). I am dedicated to working with healthcare providers, who are currently facing unprecedented struggles due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

How are you coping w/these challenging & unprecedented times? Whatever our normal coping strategies were, particularly if not the healthiest to begin with, they are likely to be even more present than ever before. Fear, dread, loneliness, isolation, frustration, & anger...all ingredients for us to eat more, drink more, use more, check out more, fight more, etc.. Please-there is no shame in asking for help during this pandemic (or ever, really). There are many great clinicians on PT-literally, someone for everyone. I hope that you find someone who fits YOU during this troubling time, &, if you think that might be me, pls reach out!

You struggle with how you see and feel about yourself. You never feel like you are “enough.” You are swimming in self-doubt and all you see are your imperfections. The inner critic that lives in your head is always on overdrive. Sometimes you just wish it would let up for a bit so you could have a moment of peace. It hurts to treat yourself this way, but you don't know another way to be. What would it be like if you weren't constantly berating yourself? In therapy, we will help you look at how you came to see yourself the way you do so you can contend with that voice of self-doubt differently.

To our Dear Future Client, If you're reading this, chances are you may have noticed that something does not feel right in your relationship. Perhaps you have known this for quite some time or maybe you have only now come to realize an important truth - that this is not how you want to feel, not where you want to be, & it's time for change. Change can be really scary and overwhelming, maybe even foreign. Of course, evolution doesn't happen overnight, so naturally you may ask how & when does it happen? Good questions!

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."--Aristotle. I believe that becoming self-aware and self-accepting is the path to positive change and fulfillment. If you are feeling stuck, scared, or depressed in any area of your life, if you find yourself repeating toxic patterns in your relationships, or are being taken advantage of at work, I will teach you effective short-term coping skills, while we simultaneously develop the insight needed to make the long-lasting changes that will make you happier and healthier. I also offer expertise in EAP issues and practice clinical supervision. PLEASE EMAIL TO MAKE INTIAL CONTACT!

One of the most magical components of therapy is how it provides a person with the opportunity to discover their true inner self. As a therapist who has worked with people of various backgrounds, I have witnessed the powerful growth clients have achieved in all facets of life. I work with children, adolescents and adults who are struggling with relationships affected by trauma, in addition to other interpersonal issues at home or in school. I employ a client based strength model of therapy that focuses on the enhancement of the client's unique strengths and capabilities.
