I have been helping clients of all ages, races, and backgrounds live more fulfilling, rewarding, hopeful lives for as long as I can remember. It was natural for me to become a psychologist and make my mark on the world by doing exactly what I loved to do. Although my clients continually tell me how much they are helped by therapy, I can honestly say that I am the one who is truly changed by helping others. No matter what your difficulties are, I can assure you that you will be changed in some way by entering therapy. There is no difficulty too great or too small to work on in therapy. The only constant in life is change.
Whether you are struggling with parenting issues, relationship difficulties, problems with your work or career, addiction, depression, anxiety, loneliness, guilt, shame, trauma, or you simply don't feel that you are being your best "you," my team of therapists and I have a wealth of knowledge that we are just waiting to share with you.
In addition to therapy, I also provide psychological and neuropsychological testing, EEG neurofeedback and consulting. I will work comprehensively with your other physicians to make sure that you receive a well-rounded and useful plan for feeling better. As your psychologist, I am committed to helping you live the life you dream of.
