Feel like you are constantly trying to achieve a healthy you, but with frustrating results? Let's get to the bottom of it so you can stop repeating the same unhelpful behaviors and live a healthy and happy life. I focus on helping my clients achieve both emotional and physical health, as it can be difficult to achieve one without the other. My clients describe me as a straightforward, down to earth therapist. I don't sugar coat things, but rather let's cut out the fluff and get you feeling better physically and emotionally.

With almost 35 years working as a psychologist, I work with a variety of clients struggling with mental health and life issues. Many clients seek my help for anxiety, depression, serious and persistent mental illness and life transitions. My patients include children as young as 7, adolescents, adults and seniors in their 80's. Clients are often referred to me for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, relationship issues and sports-related performance concerns. I also have experience working with individuals and families where there are life-threatening health issues, infertility and pregnancy loss for both mothers and fathers.

Since 1994 I have been in the helping profession. I have worked with individuals of various ages, from young adults to the elderly. My belief is that growth/change happens through relationship with another. Therefore, my approach to therapy is client-centered with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. I focus on providing a safe environment where each individual can risk, to experience themselves in a caring and respectful relationship with another. It is from this relationship that a person often finds new and more adaptive ways of being in relationship with themselves and others.

Spring is here - it's time to take action. Aren't you tired of being miserable, depressed, sad, anxious, or just simply being unhappy with your life? Let this be your season to change and learn how to be happy and content and stop sabotaging your life. How about learning to do things differently so that you just don't keep creating the same dynamics. I am a down-to-earth, straight-forward psychologist. I am well versed in treating a wide variety of disorders and mental health issues and I am comfortable working with individuals from a variety of professions.

As a Licensed Psychologist, my professional approach encourages a person's strengths, inherent resilience, and individual differences that contribute to personal development and meaningfulness. My previous experiences include providing psychotherapy services to a diverse range of individuals, couples, families, and groups in a variety of settings, from college counseling and career assessment centers to community mental health and specialty clinics. I earned both a Master's and Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from the University of Minnesota, and I completed my Pre-doctoral Internship at the University of Michigan and Post-doctoral Fellowship at an eating disorder treatment center.

What would you say if I told you that you could hope again? That your relationships with your spouse, your family, and your friends could be improved? That you don't need to be controlled by your fears and that you could find relief from worry? Taking the first steps to explore these challenges can be the most difficult. I understand how fear and doubt can keep you from finding the courage to seek healing. I am willing to walk by your side as you face the concerns that have kept you from enjoying your life to its fullest.

I believe in encouraging clients to find their inner strength, resilience, and confidence. My approach to therapy includes offering hope and the skills to overcome struggles, no matter how difficult they might seem. Engaging in therapy will work to develop your own strengths and allow you to feel more comfortable in your own skin, leading to a greater sense of vitality and peace of mind. When you are ready to open yourself to these changes, don't wait. Call me today. I currently have openings in my schedule for day appointments and can get an appointment setup quickly.

I believe that healing happens within a supportive, authentic relationship that creates space for repair. My practice as a clinical psychologist is grounded in the field of interpersonal neurobiology and I specialize in the treatment of trauma, attachment wounds, mood disorders and eating disorders with adult clients. Personally and professionally, I work to embody the beliefs that boundaries and direct communication are kind.

We are all doing what we can to be healthy. Are you in need of some more emotional support? I specialize in anxiety, depression, and other mental health diagnoses. I work with clients to help develop closer, and deeper relationships. I treat alcoholism, and their loved ones affected by it. I completed training in trauma informed therapy. I am a Psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience, speak some Spanish, and have expertise in multicultural approaches to therapy. I have experience with treating infertility.

Whether you are struggling with self-esteem, weight loss/gain, low mood, anxiety, food, relationships, or questioning your place in life, I can help. It is easy to find yourself keeping up on appearances; not only trying to look your best physically, but also mentally and emotionally. Learning how to balance what you need/want and what the world is asking of you is possible and will create space for you to grow into a more authentic you.

CURRENTLY CONDUCTING ALL SESSIONS ONLINE DUE TO COVID19. Many people struggle with symptoms of depression, anxiety or insomnia. Others have difficulty in relationships, are dissatisfied with work or face serious health challenges. And many others struggle to adapt to life changes, or simply feel discouraged or unhappy. I work collaboratively with my clients to target the issues most challenging to them and use evidence-based approaches to improve those problems. I believe that developing a strong relationship with my clients provides the essential base from which sustainable change can be achieved.

As a therapist I facilitate the process of self-awareness which enables us to live fully in the present. This entails working with the parts of us mired in the past with anger or resentment or into the future, frozen by anxiety. As we heal these reactive parts of us we are able to live consciously in the present with freedom and joy. I use a number of modalities including Internal Family Systems,Relational life work for couples, guided imagery, and self-soothing tools like breath work and meditation. I work with individuals, couples and groups.and have been doing so for over 34 years.

When clients come to me they are often overwhelmed, stressed out, discouraged, and experiencing significant self-doubt. I help people find calm, focus, motivation, and self-confidence as quickly and effectively as possible. I will challenge you to build on your strengths and expand your skills to get you moving forward in your life again. My specialty is in interpersonal relationships (be they personal, familial, professional, or romantic), because how we relate to others is vital to our overall well-being. I am endlessly optimistic about your ability to create a life rich with honesty, meaning, self-reflection, and connection!

People who I see for individual therapy are usually facing turmoil either due to current stressors or past issues that keep surfacing and prevent them from moving forward in their lives. Often, people tell me that they feel "stuck" and need direction/guidance. By working with me they identify their inner strengths and capabilities; they feel confident in themselves to take on challenges that come their way. In therapy we identify things that should change because what they are doing currently is not working for them. We problem solve and discuss ways to make their present meaningful.

You are feeling alone and overwhelmed. You are anxious and the negative thoughts in your head are becoming louder and more difficult to control.

Your relationships and your health will improve. A "fresh look" look at your difficulties might bring hope into a situation that you have considered to be hopeless.
