You've tried to think your way through it. You've told yourself to calm down, to let it go, to stop overthinking — and yet here you are, still caught in the same loop. Whether it's anxiety that won't quiet, stress that seeps into every corner of your life, or a heaviness you can't quite name, you're not broken. You've just never had the right tools to challenge the thinking driving those feelings. That's exactly where I come in. Together, we figure out what your mind is telling you — and whether it's actually true.
I'm a licensed psychologist with over 40 years of experience, a PhD from Duke University, and post-doctoral training under Dr. Albert Ellis — the psychologist who developed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I use CBT, REBT, and mindfulness to help adults and seniors reshape the thinking patterns keeping them stuck, with genuine optimism about what's possible.
I offer telehealth sessions across North Carolina & New York and accept Aetna, Cigna, and Carelon. If you're ready to understand your own mind better — and actually feel different — reach out through my wesbite to book a session. Afternoons and weekends are available, and we can get started quickly.

We often have emotions that seem to overwhelm us. We will uncover some of your ingrained thinking habits that have kept you from overcoming depression, anxiety and other disruptive emotions. Many of these thinking habits were acquired when you were very young. It is very freeing to let go of these habits of thought. You can develop different thinking to overcome feeling unwanted emotions.

I enjoy helping my clients uncover thoughts and behaviors that might be causing distress. This is called Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Rational Emotive Therapy. We create thought habits early in life and many of these habits need to be changed as we mature or experience different life trauma. Thoughts create our emotions. We can create more positive emotional experiences through our sessions.
