Most people who come in to see me usually wind up uttering a version of this in the first weeks: “This is not how I thought my life would turn out.” They seem unaware that many of us have felt this way at one time or another. People are hurting when they make a call to a therapist. They’re “stuck,” and yet anxious about the therapy process. They want change. But how to go about making it happen? Llfe is by definition unpredictable. No matter how we plan or adequately prepare for it, it comes down to sorting out the difficult from the more difficult when decisions have to be made.

Life is full of changes and challenges. Sometimes we have the tools to manage all of the stress but sometimes we find that we need some support and guidance to help us get through the rough times. You don't have to go through these times alone. If you are experiencing a major life transition or just feel like things have become too difficult to manage on your own, reaching out for help is a wonderful first step toward getting your life to where you want it to be. Asking for help is not a weakness. It is actually a sign of strength!

I believe that every person possesses the strengths that they need, in order to not only survive, but to thrive. I hope to help you find it, within yourself. Telehealth only, for now.

I come from a relational, holistic, strength-based perspective. My practice of over 30 years has taught me that psychotherapy is a blend of art and science.

Is your anxiety at an all time high? Are you feeling isolated and fearful more often? Maybe you developed behaviors that seem to be irrational. My hope is for you to find some peace in knowing and believing that though there are some things in life that we cannot control, there are also many things in which we can. I would love the opportunity to explore these thoughts and feelings with you and together uncover the answers that already lie with in you. We will work towards developing new coping skills and techniques which will allow you to work through these unwanted barriers to your overall well-being and feel like YOU again.

A certain amount of stress, sadness, and anxiety is expected in our lives. However, when these feelings become overwhelming, they can interfere with daily functioning, relationships, work, and physical health. As a licensed psychologist, I am here to help you cope with life's challenges, learn about yourself, and change problematic thoughts and behaviors. I favor cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) because of its proven effectiveness in treating the problems that I most commonly see, including anxiety, stress, depression, and chronic pain/illness. It is based on the premise that the way we think directly affects how we feel and act.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for the past 15 years. My philosophy, which draws from both cognitive and psychodynamic theories, emphasizes an empowering, solution-focused approach. Psychotherapy sessions encourage self-awareness, coping skills, problem solving, boundary setting, self-acceptance, assertiveness, and creating a healthy balance in life and relationships. My specialties include working with patients that struggle with depression and anxiety disorders, as well as those with attention deficit disorder.

The work I do focuses on the problems of today while considering how coping with these may be complicated by maladaptive patterns of understanding and problem solving from the past. Learning about ourselves involves discovering how often we have, without knowing it, clung to thoughts, feelings and conclusions that can keep us "safe" but end up limiting our experience. Much of the facts of our early lives were beyond our control, but counseling can help unravel the ways we may be keeping ourselves caught up in that past and therefore not fully available to a future we might shape differently.

Being a teenager is difficult! Navigating the teen social scene is a challenging experience for the majority of adolescents. I have worked exclusively with teenagers for the past 16 years focusing on a wide range of issues including substance abuse, eating disorders, family related matters, sexuality, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, academics, social concerns and more. I have dealt extensively with the many peculiarities that come with adolescence and the often difficult fallout for families as the teenager struggles to gain independence.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

By applying complementary therapy approaches, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative thinking that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
