I desire to facilitate a healthy therapeutic relationship, to guide my clients in discovering more about themselves and their patterns of behavior as well as identifying solutions to help them grow and thrive.
My personal philosophy in life is that you can do anything you set your mind to when you have the support and faith to spur you forward. Without support or a belief system, I believe it’s harder if not impossible to be a better/matured version of yourself. If you have felt stuck or felt unmotivated by life's present challenges or past hurts and pains or just overwhelmed by it all, You have a place to find that comfort, guidance, and solutions, where it was believed there, were not.

I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy enhanced by mindfulness meditation and value-based living.
Having OCD or anxiety can make make every day tasks seem nearly impossible. It can sap you of your energy and ability to enjoy the things you love. On top of that, you likely have harsh judgements about having anxiety, leading to frustration and sadness. Maybe you've tried therapy in the past but nothing seems to stick. Having worked with so many people who have suffered with these conditions, I hear and feel what you are going through. I have dedicated my career to helping you understand your anxiety and build the skills to address it.

I use science and compassion to provide cognitive, dialectical, and mindfulness-based behavior therapies exclusively through a secure telehealth platform.
It can be a deeply painful realization to notice that we are not living the life we want - one that is guided by a strong sense of values and that fills us with joy, passion, and vitality. We all have an intuitive wisdom that is meant to guide us through life. This wisdom can get lost in the loud voice of emotion, the dismissive voice of logic, and the pressures of our environment. Over time, we might start to feel stuck, lost, and hopeless. When our struggles seem insurmountable, our harsh inner critic grows stronger, and we may start to engage in problematic behaviors to avoid the pain.

Behavioral Issues Therapists
What happens in therapy for behavioral issues?
No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behavior issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.
What therapy types help with behavioral issues?
Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.
How long does therapy last for behavioral issues?
Among popular approaches to treating behavioral concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behavior management, often used when the underlying cause of behavior issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioral issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.
How effective is therapy for behavior issues?
Studies show that therapy for behavior issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behavior later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behavior. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
