"What would you give to feel happy again? I can help. Together, we'll help you implement practices demonstrated by psychological science for over fifty years to be highly effective in restoring peace of mind and offering hope for the future. You will begin to understand how certain thoughts and behaviors interfere with well-being, how others create happiness, and how to consciously choose to live in a way that contributes to greater life satisfaction for yourself and others. I have seen countless lives transformed through learning these straightforward and easy-to-understand techniques. In fact, I practice them myself."

"Life can be tough and at those times psychotherapy can be a lifeline. For over 40 years I have worked with men and women dealing with personal and relationship issues. My practice provides a safe place where you can give voice to your struggles, find perspective and get support while developing strategies to help you cope and move through life's challenges."

"Are you feeling stuck? Is anxiety or depression interfering with the life you want to lead? Is there a disconnect between you and your significant other? Please know that you do not have to face these challenges alone. Counseling can uncover what it is that you personally need to live your best life, and assist you in moving toward it. You don't have to stay stuck. Decide that you deserve to be happy, that you are worthy of satisfying relationships, and that you are capable of making positive changes. Come as you are, and let's get to work."

"Life can be challenging and stressful at times. Perhaps you struggle in your relationships, feel stuck in your life, or experience feelings of unhappiness, depression, or anxiety. Often our busy life prevents us from caring for ourselves. Psychotherapy is a space for you to understand your needs, address your concerns, and build self-compassion. In a safe and trusting relationship, we will identify your strengths and unearth your resiliency while working on your struggles. In therapy, I tailor my therapeutic approach to clients' needs and pay attention to their context (environment, spirituality, culture, and multiple identities)."
