Are you overwhelmed by persistent worries that interfere with your daily life? Are you grappling with a heavy burden of sadness that seems to linger despite your best efforts to shake it off? Have past traumatic experiences left you replaying distressing memories? Do you want more out of your relationships? Are you overwhelmed with being a support system for those around you? Do you find yourself struggling through your daily routines and obligations? As a licensed clinical psychologist, I work with clients suffering from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, OCD, and adult ADHD.
You are unique, so I take an individualized approach. I draw from therapies like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mentalization-based therapy, and Narrative Therapy, and adapt research-backed techniques that fit your specific needs.
Not sure if therapy is right for you? Have you been disillusioned by previous therapy attempts? Not sure if therapy will work? Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we can figure it out together.

I like to take an individualized approach - we will explore what brought you to therapy, what coping strategies you already use. Some clients need to figure out where certain feelings are coming from; others need to learn skills to help them cope. Based on your needs and preferences we will decide on the most appropriate way to help you make progress.
