Despite difficult events or stressors which have occurred or are ongoing, it is our ability to choose how to respond to our situations which impacts our well-being.
Paramount to successful therapy is a readiness and commitment to change. I provide a safe environment for individuals to feel heard and seen in sharing about their life and circumstances. My therapy style is a combination of a Mindfulness-based approach and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (examining the interaction between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors). I have over a decade of experience treating people with a wide variety of presenting concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, adjustment issues, and trauma.

I have experience working with individuals, adolescents, families and couples where we worked collaboratively in navigating through a range of struggles such as depression, anxiety, life transitions and stress- to name a few.
Life throws us curveballs each and every day. Sometimes, those very curveballs leave us with feelings and thoughts that are hard to understand, hard to handle or to accept. Our work together will center around getting reacquainted with who you are, understanding your struggles and ultimately encourage healing from life's ups and downs. "You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from and how you can still come out of it." - Maya Angelou

A certain amount of stress, sadness, and anxiety is expected in our lives. However, when these feelings become overwhelming, they can interfere with daily functioning, relationships, work, and physical health. As a licensed psychologist, I am here to help you cope with life's challenges, learn about yourself, and change problematic thoughts and behaviors. I favor cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) because of its proven effectiveness in treating the problems that I most commonly see, including anxiety, stress, depression, and chronic pain/illness. It is based on the premise that the way we think directly affects how we feel and act.
