Is your child acting in a challenging, confusing or troubling way? If so, please know that parents can take small steps that bring about big changes. I specialize in working with parents from the perinatal period throughout childhood. I believe that parents are their children's best bet for helping them develop mental health and emotional wellness. Parenting interventions don't mean that you are to blame for why your child is struggling, simply that you are capable of being involved in or facilitating the solution.

I am a Health Psychologist who approaches clients with empathy. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with an influence of Adlerian theory, to be goal-oriented and positive-focused in treating depression, anxiety, physical illnesses, sleep problems, weight management, recovery from substance use and other lifestyle conditions. I help people overcome their fears and resistance to change through the use of Motivational Interviewing (MI). This helps remove barriers to achieving goals and achieving them successfully. My purpose in my work is to help each client become the best version of their 'self'.

Healing begins when we are seen and heard, and can finally see & hear ourselves more clearly. Authentically. If you notice persistent negative thoughts, feel anxious when alone and/or with others, find yourself worrying, lack the motivation to accomplish your goals, are not sure what your goals are, and/or often feel frustrated with others, I believe I can help you. You will learn to reduce unnecessary mind chatter and focus on what's truly important to you. I am an active listener who will provide the ear for you to explore your habits, thoughts, and feelings and from there come closer to designing the life you want.

Maybe you or someone you care about seems to have lost control of your ability to drink, take medication, eat, gamble, have sex, use the internet, play video games in a way that is not disruptive or harmful to you or the ones you love. Is someone telling you that your behavior is a problem? Are you unable to consistently predict whether or not you can stop once you start? Do you find yourself planning, thinking about or engaging in the behavior when you need to be attending to other things in your life like relationships, work or school?
