I am a licensed psychologist with 10 years of specialized neuropsychology training. I have evaluated hundreds of patients with complex psychiatric and neurological difficulties. I believe the first step to overcoming personal, occupational and academic difficulties is understanding the underlying causes. I believe personality, emotions and cognition are a product of biology and past experiences. In order to understand my patients, I rely on thorough assessment of their presenting difficulties, medical history and personal experiences. I use this information to create personalized, comprehensive evaluations of emotional and cognitive functioning. This allows me to accurately determine the causes of their difficulties and devise effective treatment recommendations.

People seek out therapy for a variety of reasons, such as to address an already identified concern, to develop a particular coping skill set, or to enhance self-confidence and quality of life. I work to establish a trusting therapeutic relationship within which a client can share their unique story with a felt sense of validation, empathy, and hope. I work collaboratively with clients as we bare witness to the client's lived experiences looking through a lens of compassionate curiosity and establishing empowered self-agency that leads to patterns of intentional action and overall well-being.

When our children hurt, we hurt. Teaching young children, adolescents and young adults coping skills that they will use for a lifetime is a wonderful gift for the entire family. Adult women experience a tremendous amount of stress. Habitual behaviors or ways of thinking that served us as children are often of no use and even harmful during adulthood. Feeling better requires challenging these old habits and creating new pathways to suit our current goals.

For 30 years, I have worked with adolescents and adults to improve the quality of their lives and to enhance their relationships. Depression, anxiety, work-related stress, and family/relationship issues can be resolved by working together. Couples may start treatment to improve communication and problem-solving skills as well as to explore sexual and emotional intimacy issues. My experience as a therapist has provided me with various approaches to help people better understand and accept themselves, and to develop more satisfying relationships.

Life can be hard sometimes. Just when you think that things are going well, anxiety and depression can strike at a moment's notice, leaving you feeling lost, confused, and not sure where to turn. Your mood begins to sink, as you try desperately to stay afloat, only to face more adversity with each tug. You begin to cast judgment on yourself, lose hope, and fill your mind with self-deprecating banter. Health problems - old and new - may complicate the picture, leaving you feeling even more vulnerable to life's misfortunes.

I have passion for working with individuals of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and backgrounds who have experienced trauma. The definition of trauma is subjective, but I believe it to mean any experience that hinders you from functioning in the way you did prior to the experience.
