I am a licensed Psychologist and have been providing therapeutic services to adults, children, couples, and families for the past 10 years. Often, I find that clients are struggling to find the right tools for lasting change and are lost in their negative cycles. Individuals are painfully masking their feelings only to realize they are not meeting their full potential. Parents are challenged by their children's never ending emotional struggles that take over the family life. The tools they have are short lived and the emotional struggles persist. Clients are often looking for any sort of relief but unsure how to achieve it.

Therapy is a safe space to explore changes you'd like to make in yourself and in your relationships. Depression, anxiety and anger are normal parts of the human experience and we all suffer to some degree, but when our usual coping skills fail us and we can't shake these feelings it's time to get support. Change is difficult, even when we want it. Getting guidance, support and accountability can help you to create lasting change.

As a therapist, I am passionate about supporting others in their search for greater awareness, meaning, integration, clarity, relief, freedom, and authenticity. This process often takes space and time as well as willingness and courage. I feel honored to be invited into others' unique and powerful narratives (which often may include loss, pain, loneliness, and uncertainty) and to journey alongside in a supportive and compassionate way.

Many of my clients enter into therapy with varying levels of ambivalence, fear, and confusion about the therapeutic process. I spend the first sessions getting to know my clients and build a strong therapeutic relationship with them so that they feel safe enough to look deeper into the issues that have brought them into therapy. As the therapeutic process unfolds, I most enjoy helping clients learn to better understand themselves, as well as their environment, and eventually come to a place where they can accept themselves fully. I believe that self-acceptance is the key to living a more fulfilling life.

As a psychologist specializing in children and adolescents I am best suited to provide a clear idea of problems, developing an effective treatment plan, working with families, schools and other support services to create effective positive change. Only by focusing on parents' concerns, supporting their parenting style can satisfactory treatment occur. Treatment choices are provided based on the plan, evaluating progress and what works best. Through Quest group treatment, many peer problems can be improved as well as self-esteem and those emotional reaction that interfere with success. Currently, I am only taking assessment clients.

You follow the cycles of the moon, know your astrological chart, and believe in the power of intuition. And you know that the same ol’ talk therapy you had before (or heard about) isn’t going to quite cut it for you now. If you want a little more spirituality in your growth, a little guidance toward finding your inner voice and power, a little peek into your subconscious, you’ve come to the right place.

I work with adults, couples and families - and what remains consistent is the thread of hope we each have to be better, to do better, to feel better. We inherently possess that capacity and intensive therapy can bring about positive transformation. Through therapy and assessment I determine strengths, target goals and anticipated challenges. Collaboratively, we create and execute a customized treatment plan.

As a psychologist, I provide psychotherapy and psychological evaluation services. I typically utilize a CBT approach when providing psychotherapy. However, each parent and client comes to therapy with specific concerns which they would like addressed. To provide the most effective treatment, other modalities may be incorporated after taking into account concerns, diagnosis, and age. Whether it's CBT, mindfulness techniques, ACT, schema therapy, Gottman method, or narrative therapy, our sessions will be unique and goal driven.

One doesn't plan for a late in life divorce; the death of a spouse or becoming a caregiver to an elderly parent or friend. These late life transitions have become common for people in their 50's and upwards - leaving many feeling alone, afraid, unsupported and inadequate. The need to "reinvent" and "redefine" who you are now can be paralyzing. As a therapist with an extensive background in grief and loss, we will explore the "unknown" together; define your strengths and personal goals; and remove barriers to finding meaning at any age.

Most people go through times in life of feeling strong emotional pain and wishing they could feel better. They may also want to have more control, to function at a higher level, and to have more satisfying relationships. I work with people who are feeling this way, applying the Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) model which entails teaching clients skills for managing painful emotions. DBT is effective for treating anxiety, anger, relationship problems, trauma, and substance abuse. I offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents, and I co-facilitate DBT groups.
