I help people not just survive, but thrive. Everyone encounters various levels of loss, life stressors and at times major hurdles - it’s how we negotiate those challenges and integrate them that creates true grit and resilience.

I also work with veterans, law enforcement and individuals in other high-threat positions. As a health psychologist, I’m fluent in medical terminology and procedures. I can help you manage a new or chronic illness, achieve your fertility goals, or manage chronic pain.

I work with individuals who feel their lives are hindered by unwanted or distressing feelings, or self-defeating patterns of behavior, and who experience depression, anxiety, anger, low self esteem, compulsive or impulsive behaviors, or relationship difficulties. By establishing more effective coping skills and responses, positive changes can develop and lead to a greater sense of fulfillment. I approach each individual treatment collaboratively, exploring the foundation of the problem, identifying problematic patterns, and then developing treatment goals tailored to the unique needs of each individual client.
