Hello and welcome! My practice specializes in assisting individuals through transitional points in their life whether that is the loss of a relationship, new employment/career, retirement, job loss, infertility, the diagnosis of a chronic health condition, divorce, unemployment, accident/injury, or the death of a loved one. Often these transitions produce anxiety, fear, sadness, depression, and anger. It is not uncommon to feel "stuck" during these transitional points and speaking with a professional is often beneficial to process these changes/challenges.
A peaceful room to contemplate your concerns and receive guidance on processing associated emotions.
My services vary in length and focus on cognitive and behavioral change in order to improve resiliency and quality of life. My therapeutic strategies assist an individual with recognizing how thoughts, emotions, and behavioral responses are connected as well as the benefit of using a mindful approach to mitigate transitional challenges.
Taking the first step and reaching out for help is often the hardest. Rest assured, psychologists are uniquely trained to assist you in taking the necessary steps and developing a plan of action to address the challenge(s) you are experiencing. I encourage my patients to move in the direction of growth by challenging their hesitancy to change.

My work uses an approach of curious and non-judgmental exploration to develop an understanding of presenting concerns (e.g. anxiety). We focus initially on understanding how habitual patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving may trigger recurrent undesired outcomes and emotional distress. Together we identify a proactive plan to challenge these habitual patterns with a new awareness/approach.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
