I believe that we all have the innate ability to thrive and be well in mind, given the right guidance, support and tools. To that goal, I provide individual psychotherapy to adults, couples, adolescents and families in a safe and supportive environment. Some of my specialty areas include anxiety disorders, depression and mood disorders, relational issues, family conflict, adjusting to life transitions, trauma, multicultural issues and LGBTQ clients.
My clients range in ages from adolescents to seniors and from all walks of life. And, my treatment modalities include CBT, DBT, ACT, Mindfulness based psychotherapy and positive psychology in the context of a trusting and warm relationship.
With many years of mental health treatment practice, specialized training and certifications, I effectively help my clients to reach and maintain a state of wellness in mind, and overcome emotional distress and conflicts, as they experience positive growth in their relationships and career and continue to achieve all of their therapeutic goals.
