As a Marriage and Family Therapist I work with individuals and couples treating a variety of relational and mental health issues. As an assistant neuropsychological associate to our staff Psychiatrist, I assist in the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, attentional issues and cognitive complaints. Through the assessment process, together and in collaboration with our staff Psychiatrist, we establish differential diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We are now testing for Autism Diagnosis.

The process of selecting a therapist can add stress to the issue you are seeking help for. You want someone knowledgeable, someone you feel comfortable with, someone you can trust, and most of all, someone who will take the time to really listen to you and understand what you are experiencing. I've been a mental health professional for over 25 years working in settings including community mental health, private practice, and over half my career in military hospitals and clinics. I offer Telehealth to Hawaii. Florida, Virginia, & Rhode Island residents. Appointments outside of work hours for those on the East Coast available.

As a therapist, I thrive to help others achieve their goals, understand their diagnosis, and provide psychoeducation on navigating challenges. I am most experienced with those aged 13-35 who are struggling with anxiety, depression, family issues, and struggling with life transitions. I love helping new parents, pregnant mothers, teen mothers, and postpartum. I also have extensive background in those diagnosed with Epilepsy and Autism. I am ready to work with those navigating new medical diagnosis aside from Epilepsy such as Crohn's, Diabetes, Cancer, and more!

Obesity Therapists
Can obesity be a cause of depression and anxiety?
Yes. It can be stressful and debilitating to carry excess weight. Many people make inaccurate assumptions about people who are overweight. This stigma may lead individuals to feel badly about themselves, decreasing their self-esteem, or leading to feelings of worthlessness. An association between obesity and depression is well-established.
When should an individual seek treatment for obesity?
When obesity, or the feelings it causes, creates a disruption in your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Examples include avoiding social situations due to anxiety, an inability to participate in family life as a result of health problems, or poor performance at work due to low self-esteem or other concerns.
Are there specific medications for weight loss?
There are several prescription drugs that can help with weight loss, including semaglutide and phentermine. These drugs reduce appetite and must be prescribed by a physician. Professionals will suggest lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, before turning to drugs, which have side effects and typically are prescribed only for a short duration. Many people regain weight after taking weight loss drugs if they have not made significant lifestyle changes.
What is body positivity?
Body positivity is a cultural movement that promotes the acceptance of bodies of all sizes and types, rather than those that conform to societal ideals of beauty. It places self-worth, self-acceptance, and an appreciation for one’s body as goals to achieve a happier, healthier attitude about oneself and others, focusing on who a person is rather than what they look like.
