"Anxiety is the worst. It can steal all your joy and make even the very best things in life feel burdensome. On the outside, everything might appear to be just fine. In fact, you might have achieved a great deal in academics, your career, family life, friendships or life experiences. But behind the scenes is an underlying anxiety that you are desperately trying to avoid with all of this "doing." And this anxiety has left you feeling like you are stuck between the life you are currently living and the life you know is possible. A life free from the anxiety that has prevented you from experiencing real joy and contentment."

"Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I can promise you that I am as real as it gets! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, I don't believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help."

"Therapy will provide you with the space and safety to talk about your inner life as well as to identify habits as areas of behavior for change. I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds as being bilingual and bi-cultural I relate well to diverse experiences and life transitions. My approach to therapy is based mainly on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Existential Psychotherapy. The goal of cognitive behavior therapy is to teach individuals that while they cannot control every aspect of the world around them, they can take control of how they interpret and deal with positive and negative situations in their environment."

"Let's be real, parenting is insanely hard! Add in the complexities of parenting tweens and teens. Do you find yourself constantly worried about your teen? Do you think your teen is overwhelmed, anxious, depressed? Are you afraid that your teen might be experimenting with drugs and/or alcohol? Is your teenager having gender identity issues, relationship difficulties, cutting behavior and etc? If you are afraid that your "baby" is going through a messy journey, therapy may be a good option for your teen."

"Therapy, to me, is like a car ride. You’re in the drivers seat and I (the therapist) in the passenger seat. Now I may suggest which direction to go and provide you with road maps. Yet you at all times are in control of the "gas and the breaks." Seeking help can be daunting--maybe even getting out of bed is difficult. This is why I also provide online based treatment plans for those with high social anxiety, limited availability, in need of last minute anger management classes, or merely find it more convenient to speak to their therapist from the comfort of their own home."

"We offer comprehensive testing for children and adults, to assess for disorders such as ADHD, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, information/sensory processing disorders, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders."

"When you have tried to resolve issues on your own, and things just aren't changing, it is time to seek professional help. Perhaps your or your significant other's past and unresolved issues are what is creating the distress; an inability to trust, to feel joy and happiness, to pursue dreams. It is important to seek help early on so that things do not worsen."
