Therapy not working? Work smarter, not harder. Let's clear the path to your liberation by more clearly understanding what you need and how to get there. Skills-based therapies often don't work, feel condescending, and can make you feel like a failure. Classic talk therapy can feel pointless and irritating (why am I the only one talking? isn't the therapist going to contribute?) I'm the clinical director at Psych Lab, a practice based on using high-quality assessment and depth-oriented psychotherapy to help you achieve total health. Not just symptom relief - real mental health and well-being. Joy. Happiness. Fulfillment.

Seeking out therapy can be a difficult choice to make. It may also mean that you are ready to make some changes in your life. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed or stuck due to a stressful life event. Maybe you want to further explore some of your underlying issues or traumas. I have experience working with teenagers and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, family conflict, self-esteem, and life transitions. Together, we can explore how your current choices may be connected with your past experiences or how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors are interlinked.

Sometimes life becomes challenging. We get sad, depressed, overwhelmed, and often we can’t seem to get back to our “old self.” Sometimes we just need someone to talk through our feelings with no judgement. Therapy is a great way to navigate through these feelings and experiences and I look forward to working through it with you.

When we are in a happy and fulfilling relationship we can take on the world. Humans, we weren't meant to do it alone. I specialize in love & relationships. Do you ever find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no? Or saying nothing at all because you're walking on eggshells? Afraid the next thing you say will kick off the dynamic you know all too well. The highs are high and the lows are low. The good moments keep you around, keep you longing and hoping for when things will get better. The rest of the time you're emotionally exhausted. I help couples find the "us" again so they can fight the problem instead of each other.
