"My approach to counseling stems from the belief that people will flourish if given the right tools. They're often struggling because they lack a set of skills that come more naturally to others. I help clients take an overwhelming, undefinable 'problem', and break it down into its component parts so that there's a clear understanding of the factors at play, and skills that need to be acquired. Whether it be anxiety, depression, anger management, interpersonal relationship or behavioral challenges, this approach arms my clients with resources they can leverage long after therapy has concluded."

"I feel that therapy is most effective when the patient and therapist work both in the present and the past. Often the patient seeks therapy in order to relieve a symptom (i.e. depression, anxiety) or to resolve a relationship issue and they want relief quickly. I understand this need to feel better as quickly as possible but also feel that it is important to address early interpersonal issues that are having an impact on current relationships. In working along these parallel paths patients often feel relief of symptoms and gain a better understanding of lifelong dysfunctional patterns."

"Once you have made the decision to seek therapy, the next step is to find the "best fit" therapist for you. My goal as a clinical psychologist is to assist each client on his/her journey to personal success. I've helped people make positive and meaningful changes in their lives by assisting them to work through feelings and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Thus assisting clients to create and maintain the life they desire. My areas of interest and expertise include, but are not limited to, mood and anxiety disorders and borderline personality disorder."

"People usually seek therapy when feeling overwhelmed by daily stressors/demands and want to make a change in their life. You may be experiencing issues in your relationships, work life, or trying to find new ways to cope with any difficulties. I am kind and sensitive in my approach. I prioritize creating a safe space for you to address these issues in order to thrive and achieve your goals. I am passionate to help and bring a set of skills to address behavioral issues, manage symptoms related to ADHD, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, and self-injurious behaviors."

"As a licensed clinical social worker and private psychotherapist, I am interested in supporting individuals, couples, and families coping with such issues as anxiety, depression, infertility, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have extensive experience working with those facing chronic illness, end-of-life- challenges, and bereavement and have completed advanced clinical training in family therapy at the Ackerman Institute for the Family. I take a client-centered, relational approach and strive to create a safe, warm, and supportive space for joint exploration, in which clients can feel comfortable exploring and addressing their thoughts and challenges."
