I'm a clinical/health psychologist, inter-faith minister and hypnotherapist with over 30 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, children, teenagers, couples, geriatrics, family, special needs, cultural issues, food, weight issues, viruses, autoimmune diseases & nutritional needs. Anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, cultural stress, career counseling, parenting, men’s issues are just a few of the specialties I work with. Most of us go through life with uncontrolled thoughts allowing our minds to dictate perceptions and meaning to situations we encounter, often in unproductive and/or distressful ways.

Are you an individual who is experiencing anxiety, prenatal, parenting, trauma, depression, or low self-esteem? I can help! I have experience working with individuals from multicultural backgrounds.

Furthermore, I have worked with individuals who have experienced Domestic Violence and their families.

Potential clients can expect a welcoming environment that fosters new ideas and attitudes to managing daily stressors. We will identify triggers and create coping skills to help with anxious systems. Develop and identify core themes in communication issues in relationships. Process experiences from the past and how they could be affecting current functioning. My approach to therapy first requires time to build rapport and trust with the client. Clients will feel heard and their feelings validated. Once a problem or goal has been identified, I utilize a core concepts from motivational interviewing, CBT and solution-focused therapy.
