"As a psychotherapist, I cultivate a safe & supportive atmosphere in which my clients explore thoughts and feelings about the important areas in their lives that may be broken, or not working as well as one hoped and planned.

"As a Clinical Psychologist, I specialize in psychotherapy and psychological testing/evaluation. People often come to me because, despite their efforts to change, they always end up in the same cycles...cycles of anxiety, depression, disordered eating, relationship struggles, isolation, procrastination, workaholism...the list goes on and on. People often wonder "why can't I just *change*?" These cycles of behavior are driven by our life experiences and sense of ourself and others. Together, we will explore these ideas so that you can begin to create newer positive cycles...of peace, calm, happiness and joy, contentment, intimacy, health, and fulfillment."

" ***Not accepting new clients at this time. Some pursue happiness, others create it; however, creating happiness isn’t always an easy task. Whether you’re experiencing difficulty adjusting to a new environment, relational conflicts, past or current trauma, or just seeking general guidance in your life, with the help of a professional, happiness can be within your reach. The key to a happy life isn’t just achieving success, or having a perfect job/income/family/relationship, it is more about how we perceive the world around us. Our thoughts are powerful and have a great influence on how we feel and how we act. "
