Do you have a child or adolescent that is suffering from anxiety or depression? Transitions can be difficult and result in symptoms, stress and unhappiness for some youth. I work to help each person get through their challenges and find their strengths. Families can benefit from a therapist who helps them to process their feelings and experiences. Parents can feel overwelmed when their child is suffering.

Do you feel your life is spinning out of control? Do you worry too much or do you see life these days through a negative lens? Are you experiencing problems with your relationships or substances? If so, I can help. I am a non-judgmental therapist with over 15 years of expertise in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, relationship difficulties, substance use disorders, behavioral addictions, life transitions, and anger management issues. I also have significant experience with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, phobias, grief and loss, ADHD, and Tourette's Disorder. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples.

As a therapist who works with adults, I use a collaborative, very direct and insight-oriented approach to therapy, so that our time together is effective. This enables maximum growth potential for my clients, whatever the reason bringing them to therapy may be. I believe the therapeutic process differs for each individual, and in working together, it is possible to identify the areas of oneself that could benefit from change and improve emotional maturity.

My goal as a therapist is to help you prioritize yourself in a way that leads to growth and a life worth celebrating. Growth can be as straightforward as learning to cope with a difficult situation, or as complex as charting a brand new life for yourself. Together, we will work to uncover your unfulfilled needs, the related obstacles, and any thoughts and perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling life. Ultimately, my hope and the focus of our work together is to help you make meaningful changes that are good for you, and those around you.

I believe that a decision to change means you're halfway there. I understand that deciding to seek treatment can be a difficult choice to make. It is important to find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and one who challenges you in a way to facilitate and inspire change. I hope that we can work as a collaborative team to explore which aspects of your life may be holding you back from realizing a more emotionally healthy and satisfying life.
