"Are you feeling anxious or down? Are you unsure about the future of a relationship, or wondering why you find yourself repeating the same patterns and behaviors? Therapy is a collaborative process of self-discovery and personal growth. I focus on helping my clients through the development of greater self-understanding, self-awareness and self-acceptance. I want to support you to make the changes you desire, and to live your life to the fullest.

"Quality Mental Health Assessments...…Made Better with Telemedicine. We offer accessible, convenient, high-quality behavioral screenings to assess risks and improve patient outcomes. Through our network of therapists across the country we specialize in providing high quality, thorough behavioral assessments for patients requiring an evaluation and for companies and physicians requesting an assessment as part of their protocol. Unlike many private practices, we focus 100% on behavioral assessments—it is all we do, and we do it well."

"I believe that the work of therapy is to help you (re)discover your areas of greatest joy and to chart a path towards attaining a life of meaning, value, and purpose. To do that, however, requires us to lean into the pain and the sorrows. Rather than becoming distracted by a diagnosis, the aim is to figure out what is no longer working for you, as we can become trapped in patterns of behavior that continue to result in pain and suffering. My goal, then, is to help you become un-stuck, choose your joys, and move freely, fully, and confidently into a life that matters."

"It takes a lot to reach out to a complete stranger and ask for help. Your story is what is most important to me. Therapy helps people by allowing them to process events that have happened in the past that are difficult to get over. Therapy can also be effective to help address future anxieties or current stressors. My clients benefit from my welcoming approach. Knowing you as a person is important to me. You are not someone who just comes in with a lot of “problems”. I like to see my clients laugh, know what makes them happy, and see them learn more about themselves through the process of therapy. "

""The purpose of therapy is to remove blocks to truth; to help you abandon any patterns of belief that no longer serve you in a productive way; to implement self-forgiveness. Therapy can alleviate suffering and open the door to peace of mind. It can assist in separating illusion from reality and even reality from truth. Finally, it can help you to learn to make your decisions from internal prompts because you have created an internal locus of control." From "A Course in Miracles" Most clients start noticing change in their perspectives, outlook and coping skills early in the process."

"I help individuals and couples understand and overcome barriers that get in the way of living a meaningful and fulfilling life; this can include professional, emotional, or interpersonal challenges. My approach draws on narrative and cognitive based principles, that value the understanding of how our experiences, self-awareness, and relationships impact how we cope with life. I believe the process of therapy is one that encourages collaboration and curiosity, and in doing so creates a hospitable environment to explore a variety of life experiences and achieve a healthy life balance."

"My goal is to heal and restore emotional balance in individuals, families and couples who experience stress, anxiety or depression in their lives. The journey to personal change starts when we explore your emotional pain and unresolved issues in a safe and empathic environment. With our collaborative work, you will learn how to restore positive energy, live in the present moment, create loving relationships, reduce stress and have a meaningful and joyful life. Based on my studies in clinical psychology and holistic medicine, I integrate different aspects of treatment to create a path to your well-being."

"It takes courage and commitment to begin the therapy process. It is my hope that through the creation of a safe, non-judgmental space and a collaborative relationship, clients will be able to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. As the therapist, I will provide that space and that relationship, as well as insight, skills, knowledge, emotional support, guidance, and encouragement that can lead each person to make the changes he or she is seeking. Together, we can help you achieve your goals of developing a life that is happier and more meaningful."

"We humans have an innate desire to grow and develop to our fullest. For full development, we need a secure relationship with human connection, secure attachment and a sense of belonging are core. While many of us did not experience that deep connection and secure attachment earlier in our lives due to caretakers who were not optimally available to us because of their own unmet needs, preoccupations and human frailties. I am dedicated to providing that kind of secure attachment for you NOW. Out of this secure base, you CAN become the "best that you can be.""
