Are you looking for exceptional therapy? Are you finding it difficult to call? It is sometimes not easy to take the first step toward beginning therapy. For some it is about having thought they could do it themselves, for others they think it is a sign of weakness, and yet others sometimes worry about using therapy as a crutch. Then there are those who can hardly wait to begin, perhaps begin again, with a new and different therapist, eager to enter the journey of self discovery and self improvement. All this is normal. Either way, you will feel understood and cared for.

Are you tired of sending your child to school each day and worrying that it is going to be another "bad" day? Do you wish you were able to do more to help your child be successful?

Perhaps you've been in therapy before, but still feel stuck. Maybe you're lonely and can't find the right relationship or your relationship is breaking your heart. Maybe you want a closer connection with your kids, friends or family. Or perhaps you just aren't happy at work. If you're ready to transform your life, call me and let's begin the journey. It's my mission to help you end the pain, find internal peace, let go of patterns that aren't working for you, experience more joyous relationships, and have more success at work.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in treating adults, kids, and teens with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic, agoraphobia, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), social anxiety, phobias, hoarding, depression, anxiety, trichotillomania, dermatillomania, and other conditions. I use evidence-based treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and habit-reversal training (HRT). My approach is based on action, and it's embedded in your real life (not just my office). As such, I will ask you to work on things outside of our sessions together in order to facilitate progress and improve your quality of life.
