I pride myself on my professionalism, insight, and ability to listen with both empathy and an analytical perspective. I take my work seriously, but find humor to be helpful, too. While therapy works on a number of levels at the same time, one of my main roles is to provide an outsider's objective view of how clients understand themselves in the world, and the beliefs and assumptions that can prove to be counterproductive or problematic. I enjoy treating anxiety, depression, and OCD, and I appreciate working with couples, families, and older adolescents and young adults. I have a side interest in sports psychology.

We are all human beings going through the experience of life together, although in the current age, it seems as though there is a movement of separateness, judgment, and shame. Presently, this trend is causing an epidemic of underlying unhappiness. Ask yourself: Am I having problems with the following?: **Getting up and facing the day? **Dealing with "difficult" people in my life? **Being vulnerable and sharing your feelings? ** Navigating romance and intimacy? **Wondering "Who am I?" and " Why am I here?" **Shutting off negative thinking?** Letting go of the need to be right or what "should" be? **Living in the present moment?**

I work best with clients ages 18 to 70 who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, loss, trauma or addiction.

I support diversity and welcome persons of all faiths or those who are atheists or humanists. In addition, I support the LGBT community. I believe that I connect well with most clients and find that those seeking treatment are much healthier and lovable than they believe they are.
