Chronic pain and illness can have a significant impact on the lives of those living with it. They can take a toll on mental and emotional wellbeing, relationships, and the way we feel about ourselves. People often describe feeling frustrated with their body, unable to keep up with day to day tasks, or anxious for when they may feel unwell again. Interactions with the medical system and insurance companies can be exhausting and traumatic. Pain and illness can play a big part in our relationship dynamics; creating challenges with the people we care about most who want to help but don't seem to understand or know how.

As a mental health clinican with over forty years of life experience, I believe that perception affects an individual's performance. I find that if a person believes they can do something well, they will do it well and vice versa. I am especially interested in this observable fact and how an individual's perception and cognitive process affects their behavior. Interestingly enough most people normalize behaviors, behaving according to how their community, family, friends or worst yet life long patterns of maladaptive behaviors; equipping my clients with a diverse set of tools to handle life stressors is essential for optimum living.

We understand how daunting and even intimidating seeking help can be. Both culture and society have conditioned us to look at therapy through a negative lense, as something that is punitive, unnecessary, and in some cases as a sign of weakness. On the contrary , participating in therapy can be a liberating experience. It is a place where you can begin your process of obtaining closure to unresolved conflicts, that every so often seem to come to the surface and interfere with your daily life. We are here to genuinely assist you in making sense of it all. No Judgement, and our services are confidential.

I am experienced in helping clients recapture the person they previously were. Many clients say to me, "I just want to go back to being the person I used to be", and that's exactly what we focus on. Clients also often say to me, "I just don't know what to do or what I want", and we work together until we figure out how to alleviate their confusion. We achieve this in various ways, most often through exploration of the presenting issues, examination of past relationships and significant experiences as well as decision-making and behavioral patterns.

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I help individuals, couples and families understand their current circumstances in order to make changes that will have lasting, positive effects.
