Other areas of expertise include trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder for people coping with a wide range of painful experiences, and helping people cope with medical conditions, ranging from chronic pain to HIV to cancer.
I am a clinical psychologist practicing for more than two decades. My approach is to provide a safe and comfortable space in which clients can share their worries, concerns, and fears that are part of daily living. I use cognitive-behavioral treatment, which emphasizes the importance of how we understand events, ourselves, and others; these affect our feelings and the way we go about our daily lives. The goal is to improve insight AND making changes to improve our quality of life. Many of my clients struggle with adjusting to difficult situations, and want to move forward from difficult situations that affect day-to-day life.

It's ok to ask for help. It's true that I can't erase your past or instantly take away your pain (although I wish I could). However, I can help you carry your burdens more lightly, whether that means adjusting to major life transitions, processing grief, or learning new ways of coping with anxiety. Additionally, I have expertise in health-related issues and enjoy working with clients around eating concerns, chronic illness (cancer, diabetes, etc.) and prenatal/postpartum mental health. I can offer you a new perspective and help you overcome emotional challenges. Therapy is your time to feel supported and understood.

I believe that coming to therapy when your life is not proceeding in the way you wish is a courageous and important step in building the life you want. Although it is sometimes difficult or frightening to make that first phone call, it's a strong sign of your belief in yourself and your desire to live fully and joyfully. I respect the decision to begin therapy and understand that it's sometimes a hard step that requires great courage. I firmly believe that however you're feeling now, there is a capacity for healing, change, and joy within you.

You more than likely talk to many people throughout your day but how often are you making connections with others that feel truly authentic? Many people are currently feeling isolated even when surrounded by others because they do not have someone in their life creating a welcoming and safe space that allows them to feel comfortable enough to share their worries & struggles. Therapy can be this place, where building a trusting relationship with a compassionate practitioner can allow you to feel seen & can support improvements in your health & well-being.

As humans we all feel "out of balance" at different times throughout our lives. This can quickly get away from us and snowball into larger issues. Sometimes, life feels like something that "happens to us" and disrupts our ability to self-regulate or grow beyond our current circumstances, leaving us feeling stuck. Most of us desire to feel empowered and able to grow beyond issues that leave us feeling "less than" or "incapable of growth." I like to work with people with an integrative approach focusing on self-healing through empowered choices and balance. Working towards: "Taking back your power to create your ideal life."

As an Acute/Critical Care Nurse Practitioner, I was not cognizant of the impact of mental illness on family and society, until I decided to pursue a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Degree. I believe that societal stigmatization of mental illness, and the shame felt by families who have a loved one with mental illness, makes it difficult for these patients to recover, and live peacefully for the rest of their lives. Psychiatric illness should be treated like a medical illness with no stigma, no blame or shame.
