As a licensed psychologist, I have had extensive experience assisting different types of people confronting numerous issues. I understand the process of personal growth and know that people possess a remarkable ability to change. Since a sound therapeutic relationship is essential for success, clients must experience safety and trust. Therefore, I use an integrative approach which is engaged, collaborative and individualizes treatment for each client. Clients are supported and encouraged to take an active role in the therapeutic process, build upon their strengths, establish new learnings and implement genuine changes in their lives.

Do problems with memory or attention have a negative impact on your functioning? Do you seek diagnostic clarity related to these struggles and are not sure where to go from here? Have you recently been diagnosed with a neurological condition and wonder how this condition will impact your thinking and mood over time?

It is natural to feel frightened and to seek answers.

I specialize in helping people cope with challenging life transitions, especially as related to difficult emotional situations, physical health or medical conditions. Some transitions, such as the birth of a child, are joyous, but still trying. Other transitions, like diagnosis of an illness or disability, can be frightening, necessitating reevaluation of life choices and daily routines. It's common to feel overpowered by questions about the future, but you may need skilled help to face the big questions and work out manageable solutions. I can help you reduce anxiety, fear, anger, or depression, and move towards productivity, happiness, and acceptance.
