Pushing through everyday life can sometimes be a challenge, especially when your mental health is suffering. Your mental health plays an integral role in your ability to flourish in all aspects of your life. These days, there are so many things that can impact your mental health and make it difficult for you to live up to your full potential. Providing individuals, couples and families with unconditional support and understanding is of great importance to me. I strive to create a safe environment for you, free of judgement and expectations, so healing can begin.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with sadness or anxiety? Initially, change can be difficult to make but seeking help is the first step to empowering yourself to feel better. We will work collaboratively with each client to identify underlying sources of their emotional distress and maladaptive patterns that interfere with personal and work relationships in order to develop more effective ways of coping with life's stressors. On Course Psychological Counseling, P.C. is a multidisciplinary group practice comprised of psychologists, social workers, mental health counselors and marriage and family therapists.

You deserve to live a happier and healthier life. Together, we can begin the exploration of understanding where you are and where you want to be. Together, we can uncover your strengths and help you learn new skills that will allow you to cope more effectively. I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 17 years of clinical experience working in community-based mental health clinics, forensic settings, public schools, and higher education settings. My experience is with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families with various behavioral, mental health, substance abuse, and relational issues.

At one time or another, any one of us may feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. We may feel we are alone in our suffering or going through something no one else can understand. We may turn to drugs, alcohol or reckless behaviors. Our relationships suffer, our identity and self-worth collapse, and the vision we have for a happy, fulfilled future seems impossible to achieve. For many, therapy provides the guidance, skills, support and insight to unravel the source of suffering and change limiting thoughts, beliefs and behaviors into healthy, adaptive ones.

Building our trusting relationship is the surest way I know to reduce your anxiety, depression, and quiet those punishing parts of yourself that seem to threaten your confidence and safety. We work together to make room to experience yourself in new ways, to feel the ground under your feet. Our relationship opens pathways to your life to feel your better self. Doubt, fear and depression will be lessened. Relationships will evolve, and options will open. We will talk and challenge automatic thoughts. We will also use your bodily experience to bypass the loops of stories stored in your critical mind.

Inevitably, we all encounter periods in our lives in which what we've learned to that point isn't sufficient for the challenges we now face. I believe therapy can be a rich environment in which to better understand ourselves and the world and to revisit what we want in life and how to get there. Whether you are dealing with significant anxiety or depression, or simply need a new environment to learn your way through new challenges with a helping eye and ear, I bring a creative, curious and open-minded approach to helping you progress through life's challenges.

I believe that life is all about experience and relationships that affect different individuals in different ways, and for different reasons. For that reason, I have an integrated and eclectic approach using relational, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, supportive and family psychotherapy treatment modalities to treat Eating Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, OCD and Personality Disorders including self injurious behaviors. Treatment is individualized to the needs of each client and collaboration can be coordinated with a nutritionist, psychiatrist and physician when appropriate. I have a group therapy program for adolescents, young adults and women struggling with eating disorders, body image and self -esteem issues.
