Psychotherapy can benefit people facing a range of challenges. Currently, I see adults and adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship or interpersonal difficulties, and sometimes with health/illness issues. I see many people experiencing distress and other symptoms associated with life transitions such as adolescence, marriage, new parenthood or challenges in family planning, divorce, professional or personal role redefinition, retirement, and aging. I provide counseling to individuals and couples struggling with the shifting roles and demands of these complicated times.

I work with individuals and couples who feel a need for change in their lives, and want help to do so. Many of my patients are seeking help for depression, stress, anxiety, and relationship problems.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in evidence-based treatment, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

My approach is evidence-based, while also collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to the individual's needs.

When I work with adults, couples , families or children I believe taking a collaborative and introspective approach to treatment helps patients access their own wisdom and healing potential. We can often become disillusioned with ourselves or others as a result of deep pain, wounds, and burdens that we carry with us on a daily basis. For many of us, turning away or avoiding these difficulties is a natural reaction and attempt to cope with these struggles. Despite the temporary relief that may accompany this style of coping it often maintains extreme beliefs, negative feelings, and unproductive behaviors.

The adults and adolescents I treat, typically come into psychotherapy because they feel the need to develop a better understanding and/or make a change in a relationship that is faltering with a family member or partner . Many of the women I see are contending with problematic romantic relationships, some dealing with infidelity, some wondering about divorce or just trying to manage day to day in marriage. These days I see more and more people in relationships with others who have narcissistic tendencies and are struggling with how to cope and negotiate with difficult people.
