I understand the concern and confusion that parents may have when their child experiences difficulties in school, home, or elsewhere. I believe in working together with parents to help their children. I take time to get to know my clients so I can offer the most appropriate, individualized care for them. I trained in educational and behavioral psychology and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. In addition to direct treatment services, I am able to provide evaluations with extensive reports to aid in treatment planning.

Therapy is different with each person. At the heart of my therapeutic approach is careful, thoughtful, and non-judgmental listening. It is important that you feel understood and hopeful, and that we can work together. Starting therapy, people hope to find relief, yet often feel ambivalent, unsure about what they want, and afraid of the unknown. I view therapy as a two-person process. We will focus on understanding the feeling of being at an impasse in life, and roots of repetitive relationships and life patterns. This will help us develop individualized ways to decrease suffering, promote insight, and foster a sense of ownership of your life.

If you find yourself experiencing problems that defy simple solutions, therapy can provide the caring, confidential conversation that your situation requires. Whether you seek treatment to alleviate anxiety or depression, to improve your experience of close relationships, or to emerge from a rut in your professional life, therapy can assist you in recognizing the connections between your personal history and your present problems—and in so doing, to stop dysfunctional patterns and increase your openness to new experiences. Where indicated or requested, I also provide psychological testing and assessment.

I am particularly skilled working alongside pre-adolescents, adolescent, young adult females, and parents of teens, who feel stuck and in the trenches of family dynamics, significant relationships, life circumstances, and/or mental health conditions. Your teen may be desperately trying to find an outlet to channel their feelings. Are they overachievers pouring all their energy into school or sports? Does your teen feel lost, anxious, confused, or indecisive? Perhaps they bottle their anger, cut, or show you their rebellious side.

Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you is pivotal to a beneficial and meaningful experience in therapy. A strong therapeutic relationship is the vehicle for change and the strongest predictor of treatment success. My international education encouraged me to adopt a flexible, curious, and inclusive perspective on the factors that contribute to one's identity and difficulties (e.g., religion, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, etc.). I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space to support clients' introspective journeys, exploration of identities, and understanding of the self, others, and the world.

My ideal client is one who is curious about his/her emotional life. My treatment philosophy is to engage a person in an exploration of their problems in ways that can lead to better relationships, feelings about themselves, and overall day-to-day functioning. My patients should find relief from their symptoms - whatever they may be - while making changes that will help them stay emotionally healthy and symptom-free in the long-term. It is my belief that therapy is a growth process that can only happen by collaboration and genuine trust between patient and therapist.

Would you like to gain a better understanding of how to navigate life’s challenges? Research continues to show that mental health plays an integral role in our general health and well-being. In a busy world, full of demands and stressors, it can be difficult to find the time to care for our mental health needs. I applaud you for making the time and taking the steps that got you here. It is my belief that a person can implement all the physical health and wellness rituals yet without a healthy mind, still not be fully well. A healthy mind creates space for a more fulfilling life and more stable relationships.
