I enjoy working with individuals of all ages including geriatrics. The majority of my experience has been with children and adolescents with emotional disorders, behavioral disorders, autism, and PANS/ PANDAS.

Do you ever feel like what you know in your head doesn't seem to connect to your heart , resulting in this feeling of being "stuck"? ( I know I should set goals. I just can't seem to follow through). My ideal client(s) are looking for a therapist who is practical, warm, funny and authentic. I have over 15 years experience helping people get "unstuck" by using both top down and bottom up therapy. Top down therapy helps you identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns. Bottom up therapy helps you regulate the inevitable ups and downs of life and connect what you know to what you do and how you feel in order to move forward.

I believe in providing a safe, compassionate and nonjudgemental environment that allows clients to use their own strengths and insights to create positive and meaningful growth in their lives. Everyone has the ability to change painful experiences into resilience. Sometimes, we just need a helping hand to grab onto for guidance and support along the way.

I am licensed Clinical Psychologist. My mission is to help individuals uncover their true potential and lead lives that are more connected and fulfilling. I'm here to tell you that you don’t have to be controlled by your thoughts and you can bounce back from adverse life events. With cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), you can challenge the thoughts and behaviors that are holding you back. I want you to use your emotions instead of being used by them and to use your strengths to find and enjoy more things you are naturally good at. Becoming resilient will allow you to cope effectively with both negative and positive life events.

An awakening is emerging as you seek professional counseling. By noticing the personal imbalance within you or with someone you care about, you are paying attention to your deeper intuition. Perhaps the incongruities have to do with depression; anxiety; relationship dissonances; family of origin woundedness; separation and grief; parenting challenges; trauma-related experiences; or wonderment about your current being.

I work with children, teenagers, and young adults who have survived traumatic experiences or are dealing with behavioral-based, emotional disorders, school stress, identity formation, and relationship concerns. I value incorporating parents and caregivers in their child's therapy, as well as working with families through divorce, grief, and life transitions. In addition, I perform diagnostic evaluations for individuals of all ages including cognitive, emotional, social, and personality assessments that can be used to inform therapeutic intervention and gain resources outside of therapy.

We’ve all been there. One minute you feel like you've got it all together, and the next you feel overwhelmed, emotionally and physically exhausted, and unmotivated. Maybe your frustration tolerance has gotten low, maybe you find yourself unable to get up out of bed, or maybe you've lost complete interest in all the things and people that used to bring you joy. Growing demands in our every day lives and busier than ever schedules make it easy to experience burn out. As debilitating as it can be, it's not something you have to go through alone. My goals as a counselor include helping you find meaning and passion in your life again.

Accepting New Clients: You look in the mirror and the person looking back at you is not person you were expecting to see. You have given up seemingly everything for everybody else. You keep saying yes to others, and you continuously say no to yourself and your own needs. You feel you can’t do it anymore. You cry for help, but nobody bothers to listen. You feel like even those you used to be closest to do not understand what you are going through. You fell down into a dark hole, and no matter what you do, you can’t seem to climb out of it. You are not exactly sure when it happened or how it happened, but you somehow lost yourself.

I work with individuals to realize their potential for positive change. Too often, the drive for the life we want is stalled by shame, fear, and anxiety. Events in our past cause us to miss the promise of our future. Together, we will explore, identify and process your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to lead you towards a clear understanding of who you are and what you need to live the life you want.

I approach counseling with empathy and acceptance through an intersectional lens. I support clients through short-term goals, long-term processing of trauma/past experiences, and the impact on the present using their existing strengths and interests. The therapeutic relationship itself is an effective avenue of healing and as such I value open communication.
