I am passionate about helping adults, couples, and people struggling with tic disorders. Have you already tried "talk therapy" and found it unhelpful? I do a lot more than just listen. I help you identify your goals for treatment and collaborate with you every step of the way. I utilize methods and techniques, tailored to your diagnosis and needs, that have been proven to work. Individually, you are ready to free yourself of depression, anxiety, social phobia, OCD, panic, health anxiety, insomnia, or tics. As a couple, you are ready for a healthy relationship. You'd like to do the work and make change. I walk alongside you in this.
I am a trauma-informed, culturally competent, Cognitive Behavioral Therapist helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and tics. I also love working with couples, whether they are seeking pre-marital counseling, counseling for co-parenting issues, or struggling with problems such as infidelity or impending separation.
I would love to hear from you. I offer a free 10-15 minute phone consultation to answer any questions you may have. I am Co-Author of "The Other Woman's Affair: Gambling Your Heart and Reclaiming Your Life When Your Partner is Married." Original research published in peer-reviewed journal, Psychological Thought. Regular contributor to OC Family Magazine.
