I am a psychologist working with everyday people with everyday struggles. My philosophy is guided by my unwavering belief in people's ability to achieve their greatest potential & become their true authentic self. I coach people who are feeling down, overwhelmed, anxious, conflicted, coping with change and transitions, making decisions, or struggling with marital or relationship challenges. While many people can manage their problems on their own, the therapeutic process often enables them to reach their goals and decrease symptoms and stress more quickly.

I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds. Each individual brings new and different elements to culturally reoccuring problems. Our work together usually enriches us both. As a CBT therapist, I believe the value of changing thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. These strategies are especially effective for anxiety, depression, addictions, anger and interpersonal interactions. I am also an advocate for personal choice and self care. So while changing thoughts and attitudes is helpful, the client decides which thoughts and attitudes they want to change. Finally, I supplement CBT with practical strategies for relationships, healthy lifestyles, relaxation, problem solving and general coping.

In my practice I work with individuals that struggle with relationships, addiction, mental health diagnoses, unwanted life changes, and trauma. My goal as your therapist is to create a trusting, open, compassionate, nonjudgmental and collaborative environment so that you feel safe sharing your struggles, needs and hopes with me. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help. In our work together you will not be defined by labels or your struggles in life but by who you are as a person.

You are not alone or defective. Persistent feelings of worthlessness, shame, fear, isolation, anger, self-consciousness, guilt, sadness, resentment, loss, despair, rage, and exhaustion coupled with thoughts that you are unlovable and that nothing good will ever happen to you or last, are often the effects of repeated, painful, humiliating, and frightening life experiences. While you cannot change the past, avoidance of and denial about it's very tangible and lingering detrimental impact, won't stop the pain. Recovering from those experiences and changing the way you think and behave are skills that can be learned.

At some time or another in life, everyone feels stuck, unable to overcome some problem despite his or her best efforts. Talking therapy can be invaluable in helping one gain new perspectives on oneself . By helping clients see themselves in new, broader, more realistic and more accepting ways, I help them gain the emotional and psychological energy and understanding to make needed changes. I believe I am most helpful to people by listening carefully to what they are saying and by helping them put into words what seems hard to say or even to understand right now.
