I know how difficult making changes in your life can be. Asking for help and support is a sign of strength and commitment to improving your life. I am here to help you on your personal journey to achieve a life filled with peace, happiness, and emotional well-being. My goal is to empower you to find personal strategies to discover your full potential. Using therapeutic approaches with proven results, I am able to help identify behaviors and/or thoughts might be holding you back from living a meaningful and happy life. To make an appointment, please visit my website and choose "Initial Assessment.”
Psychological Testing & Evaluations for teens & adults (ADHD, Learning Problems, Autism, Cognitive Functioning/IQ) and veterans (DBQs). Individual therapy for adults: Depression, Anxiety, women's issues, life transitions (divorce, college, career), grief, relationships, family/parenting, chronic pain and illness, self-esteem, social-skills, and weight loss.
My therapeutic style is warm, person-centered, solution-focused, and collaborative. I focus on solutions, encouraging my clients to challenge their distorted thinking and change negative patterns of behavior. My clients gain insight, understanding, and clarity. They build self-confidence, find peace and contentment, and develop positive coping strategies.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
