I believe every individual has a chance at succeeding in life, regardless of his / their /her present or past circumstances. Sometimes, we find ourselves in a place where we just need to talk to someone without judgment or prejudice. Life's stressors can overwhelm us to the point where we don't know where to start to get back to our usual self. Regardless if you feel you need one session or more, therapy will be empowering for you and help you compartmentalize your worries into manageable tasks.

"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." While we cannot always change the world around us, we do have the power to make changes in ourselves which, in turn, affect our circumstances and the way we interact with others. Using a caring and insightful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach, I help clients have a better understanding of their emotions and experiences, which enables the ability to make better life choices. Each session is catered towards the individual, to ensure that your therapeutic journey is one that is most helpful to you.

Tell me if any of this sounds like you: you're relentlessly hard on yourself. You might feel uncomfy in your own skin and struggle with body image or disordered eating. You're burnt out on dating/relationships and wonder if you'll ever find what you're looking for. On the surface, it might seem like you have it all together, but underneath, you have a hard time speaking your mind, overthink, and run through "what ifs" endlessly. You're goal-oriented and hard-working, but regardless of what you achieve, nothing you do feels like it translates to truly feeling good enough. If any of this resonates with you, you're in the right place!

My clients often identify as feeling "stuck." Stuck doing the same things over and over again, stuck wanting to change but struggling to take action. Stuck in a job or in relationships that feel unfulfilling. I work closely with codependency recovery and learning healthy relationships.

Hello there! If you are reading this, chances are you have been experiencing difficulties for which you have not found lasting solutions. That is okay and it does happen to all of us at one point or another. Gaining a better understanding of these difficulties, where they stem from, how they are maintained, and barriers to making changes are part of the processes people find helpful in getting their life back on track. As a licensed psychologist, I hope to provide an empathic, nonjudgemental space for us to do just that.

Congratulations on finding your way here. While we have a tendency to wait on seeing a therapist until something has gotten worse in our lives, therapy is for everyone even if everything is going great. It’s a space carved out specifically for you to talk about anything on your mind. My practice believes in open communication whether there is something that needs to be addressed or not. There is an infinite number of reasons that can lead us to want to embark on a therapeutic journey. Maybe something’s going on in your life and your current behavioral patterns and coping strategies to manage challenges aren't working any longer.

I have helped over 7,000 patients take control of the terrifying symptoms of heart pounding, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, rubbery legs, inner trembling, and nausea, and eliminate the terror and false fear of having a heart attack, fainting in public, having a nervous breakdown, losing control, or even sudden death. My patients learn how to reduce health worry and stop needless anxiety-driven emergency room and doctor visits, as they regain peace of mind.

It has been said that the only recovery for any addiction is a spiritual recovery.

I work with people who have gone through the same things I've gone through - divorce, remarriage, blended family & parenting struggles, grief & loss due to death and suicide, and loving & care taking of someone with a severe mental illness and/or chronic illness.

You look at the picture and wonder if that person is someone you can talk to. I've been there & it stinks! You deserve to have someone listen, someone to connect to, someone who understands your struggles.
