I am a dedicated professional driven by a mission to educate, empower, and transform the lives of individuals, placing a special emphasis on men, women, and children of color. I firmly believe that honesty, integrity, and self-acceptance are fundamental principles that foster personal growth and enhance overall well-being. By embracing these values, I strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment where individuals can flourish and reach their fullest potential. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and age groups, ranging from children to adults.

Psychotherapy is a deeply personal journey into getting to know yourself. The start of treatment is truly an important first step into understanding yourself and your past, finding ways to cope with your current struggles, and ultimately improving your overall quality of life. I specialize in helping people to manage emotional and anxiety-related difficulties, as these tend to strongly impact interpersonal relationships and general life-satisfaction. My goal is to meet you where you are while guiding you in getting to the root of these issues so that we can work collaboratively toward your treatment goals.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I work with people to help increase their awareness of thoughts, feelings and behaviors -- such as fear, sadness and anger-- that can hold them back from being fully engaged in the world. I try to create an environment that will encourage curiosity and help you garner insight into the situations that may cause you to act in ways that feel unproductive. We will work to find news ways to think, feel and respond.

People generally come to therapy when they are experiencing pain, suffering or stagnation and they want to look into the meaning, purpose or direction in their lives. I am a warm, engaging and empathic individual. I aim to provide a safe haven to examine your issues, your concerns, your wishes, dreams, fantasies, fears and frustrations. I believe in the strength of the connection between us to bring about understanding, change and/or, alternatively, acceptance, leading to a fuller, more satisfying life. The psychotherapeutic process is most successful when you feel safe and understood.

Suffering is an integral part of life, the same way manure is an integral part of the farmer's life. As a wise farmer learns to use manure as a fertilizer, I can assist you in understanding and using your suffering wisely, and learning to profit from it. I am silent when need be, yet I am also very willing to respond to your questions and to dialogue with you in a very direct way when necessary.

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Do you find yourself feeling hopeless? Are you going through a difficult transition? Are you and your partner feeling emotionally distant from each other?

My social work education and continuing teaching in the field commit me to an eclectic approach to psychotherapy. What does that mean to you? While I lean toward the object relations and intersubjectivist schools, it means I'm listening to you and thinking about you not simply through these (or other) theoretical lenses, but as the person you are and the situation you're in.

Do you or a family member feel that life is so difficult and everything you try appears to be falling apart at the seam. Disappointment, hurt, grief and anger can morph into complicated unwanted behavior if left unresolved. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating and sleep disorders can arise when life circumstances are overwhelmingly stressful.

Psychotherapy is rational and accessible. It is not some esoteric, undefinable, mystical process that only some people can grasp, a faith that only converts believe in and others do not. It is a logical process which anyone can understand and follow. There is no reason for anything in a session to be unreasonable or mysterious. On the contrary, in good psychotherapy every step should make complete sense to you, the patient; you may end up in strange territory, but it should be entirely clear to you how you got there.
