My therapeutic approach is integrative, inclusive and flexible based on the unique life experience, goals and needs of each individual. Therapy involves taking steps towards understanding yourself, and learning how to navigate your life in healthier and more satisfying ways. Therapy can involve reducing negative thoughts, anxiety and sadness; gaining control over behaviors and relationships you want to change; and facilitating the development of an optimal lifestyle. I work with people to develop a life that better meet one's needs, fostering deeper connections to the self and others and improving quality of life.

There is no ideal client. Each client is a unique subject who has been shaped by an infinitely complex set of circumstances; family , culture and inherited predispositions. The one thing that they have in common is that somehow there is a sense that things are somehow not right and yet still entertain a suspicion that things can improve. Working in an open, honest and interactive way, marked by curiosity, compassion and courage we will work together to discover patterns and styles that hinder the experience of joy, intimacy and achievement. Together we will work to overcome the crisis of debilitating guilt, anxiety and depression.

If you are struggling to succeed in work or school, dealing with anxiety, depression or loneliness, having problems with relationships, therapy can help you get unstuck so that you can feel more in control of your life.  Through cultivating openness, curiosity and warmth, I work to create a safe place for you to explore what is getting in your way, build your confidence, learn how to deal with difficult emotions, and connect to your strengths. My training and work as a health psychologist have awarded me with a deep appreciation of cognitive and physical health to support your journey towards well-being and life balance.
