Have you been feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed? Do you feel that it is becoming more difficult to manage school, work, and friends? Or are you finding it difficult to transition into college? These everyday struggles can lead us to become withdrawn, overwhelmed, unmotivated, and stuck.

I view therapy as a collaborative process that facilitates communication, problem-solving and self-exploration, which leads to lasting change in relationships and life. As a clinical psychologist in practice for over 27 years, I have learned that while no single type of therapy works for everyone, a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is essential to achieving growth and change. We use this relationship to learn about how you feel and behave in other significant relationships. Therapy becomes a place to try new ways of communicating and to develop new ways of seeing things. Ultimately, therapy leads to taking healthy risks in relationships and life.
