With over 25 years of experience and a Dual Ph.D. in clinical and industrial-organizational psychology, I offer mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy to adults, couples, adolescents, children, and families. I combine skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness to help clients with moodiness, irritability or anger, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, racing or worried thoughts, ADD/ADHD, insomnia, relationship conflict, weight gain, or loss, substance abuse, self-injury, or other self-destructive behaviors.

For most people, it is often helpful to have an unbiased adult to share life experiences with, especially children, preteens and teenagers. Adolescence can be a time of uncertainty, self doubt, and insecurities may arise. They are trying to discover who they are and who they want to become. Children and teens often find it helpful to have someone to speak with about their struggles with anxiety, depression, or life events, such as transitioning into high school or new relationships.

I enjoy working with clients who are confronting challenges in their lives. I seek to help them develop deeper understandings of themselves so they can enjoy enhanced relationships with others and live the authentic and meaningful lives they envision for themselves.

Is substance abuse preventing you from having the life you want? If yes, you’ve admitted the problem. The toughest step toward recovery is the very first one: recognizing that you have a problem and deciding to make a change. It’s normal to feel uncertain or torn about whether you’re ready to make a change. Committing to sobriety involves much change, including: the way you deal with stress, who you allow in your life, what you do in your free time, and how you think about yourself. Recovery requires time, motivation, and support, but by making a commitment to change, you can overcome your addiction and regain control of your life.

Hello! I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who's worked professionally for 8 yrs in addition to my prior 6 yrs of clinical training in various community outpatient, managed care, and hospital settings. While I have extensive experience across the age span, my current focus is adolescent, young adult, and adult therapy. My clinical specialties include trauma, adjustment/transitional challenges, and healthy identity development. Experiencing incongruence between one's expectations and reality at a critical time in one's life can lead to a cascade of mental health symptoms, impairing one's ability to respond adaptively and thrive.

There are many challenges one faces throughout their life span and reaching out for support, especially during the difficult times, is how one feels connected and supported in the healing journey. We are created for connection and while brokenness most often occurs in relationship, so too does healing occur with one another. Healing is not meant to happen in isolation. Whether you struggle with anxiety, symptoms of depression, broken relationships, and/or trauma, therapy can provide the safe setting and emotional holding for change.

If you are looking for a therapist with over 30 years experience and that regularly conducts consultations for other therapists, you might want to take a look at my specialties. Most people are heading in the right direction, but it is like they are driving this road of life with two wheels off the road. They just can't get up to speed. I love helping people, like you, figure out what keeps you from getting up to speed and how to move past those issues like PTSD / TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES, ADDICTIONS, MARITAL DISCORD, ANXIETY and DEPRESSION.

It's exhausting. Family and friends are worried and make comments about your use of alcohol or drugs. You get defensive, angry, and don't think there's an issue. You wish they would just listen and leave you alone. After all, you're not hurting anyone. To avoid confrontation you hide your use, lie, and isolate. Over time, your use has increased and you feel anxiety and depression more often.

Has the life you are living become overwhelming or filled with worries? Are you struggling to balance work, family, or relationship or life issues? Perhaps your child is facing their own burdens at school or at home, and you know they are not thriving. Then this is the time to reach out and accept help for you or your child. In a warm, caring, safe environment, we can explore ways to find solutions to the stress you are experiencing.
