Whether you’re looking to make changes or work through existing challenges, you don’t have to do it alone. My role is to collaborate with you to help facilitate an even greater understanding and awareness of yourself. My therapy style is warm, supportive, interactive, and empowering. I specialize in working with individuals who experience anxiety, conflicts within their relationships, depression, or simply want to change a pattern of behavior.

Let's begin by acknowledging that you have taken a crucial step forward just by beginning to search for a therapist. You are here because there is a part of you that wants to make a change in your life or to understand yourself better. You are hoping to become your best self at work and in your relationships, feeling ready to address a trauma or loss, or looking for help getting through a bout of depression or anxiety so you can feel like yourself again. My job is to support your process of discovering what is getting in your way, and to help you develop the skills, mindset, or insight you need to move forward.

I'm a therapist who works collaboratively with you to identify challenges that are getting in the way of having a rewarding and successful life. I use a cognitive-behavioral approach, focusing on how patterns in your thinking and behaviors could be impacting how you feel. I combine acceptance-based strategies, mindfulness , and goal-oriented techniques. Together, we'll focus on solving problems and reducing and managing bothersome symptoms brought about by anxiety, depression, or the stress of daily life. Treatment is tailored to meet your needs, and we will work together to get you to where you want to be in your life.

Are you feeling unhappy, stuck, or overwhelmed? Are you struggling with relationship issues, work stress, or challenges with family members? Are you or your loved ones struggling with addiction? Together, we can explore your current behaviors and beliefs and begin to unpack how your experiences from the past may be impeding your ability to live peacefully and purposefully in the present. I will help you relieve your distress, strengthen your inner resources and sense of self and develop more authentic ways of communicating in order to enrich the relationships in your life.

Life can sometimes feel challenging, overwhelming, and lonely - but it doesn’t have to be that way. You deserve to experience happiness and connection. In therapy, I will work with you to ensure that you feel safe, heard, and understood. My hope is to help you build upon your strengths, gain insight into patterns of behavior you would like to change, and enhance your self-understanding while alleviating your suffering. You will leave each session with practical tools and perspective. I believe that change is possible and your goals are achievable.

Someday I'd like to write about "Living Fully and Meaningfully When Times Are Hard". Meanwhile, I am committed to providing a therapeutic relationship that helps people find resilience in themselves to do that. Times are hard for many reasons: relational, financial, vocational, or physiology that stops us: anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder or ADD. I treat adults, couples, adolescents, and children with a soft spot in my heart, and clinical expertise, for young children and parents with attachment, relational, communication, regulatory, separation and self esteem issues. Things can change. Through work that uses relational talk therapy, mindfulness , problem solving and trauma based strategies.

According to A. Maslow, you must first have your basic physiological needs met before you can reach self-actualization.

I mostly work with those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders and/or addictions. Some of my clients only require a few sessions while others have been with me for several years. I have found that the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance in the outcome of treatment. Trust and safety are key ingredients in reaching therapeutic goals.

I usually work from a mindfulness -based cognitive-behavioral perspective, in which we examine how your thinking affects your emotions and behaviors. By becoming aware of unhealthy thought patterns, we can learn to think differently; and similarly, change our relationship with the associated negative feelings. I usually work in a more direct manner, giving you concrete tools that you can use to help yourself. Of course, all of this will depend upon you! Each treatment will be a collaborative process, depending on what works best for you.

We are a group of clinical psychologists offering cognitive-behavioral approaches to help clients realize their full potential. Cognitive behavioral therapy provides practical tools to help people overcome obstacles. We work with adults, children and adolescents stuck by emotions such as anxiety, sadness, fear or anger. Many of our clients also come to us with the burden of worrisome, disturbing thoughts. Others are managing behaviors like insomnia, procrastination, anger outbursts and addictive or repetitive behaviors. Attention disorders may also impede the success of children and adults. Many just have difficulty coping with the stress of daily life and the demands of a fast paced city.
