I take a whole body approach to health and illness with a focus on how the mind influences the body just as the body influences the mind. Anxiety, depression, and stress can impact health and exacerbate chronic pain, heart disease, insomnia, and other medical problems. However, addressing the emotional aspects of medical conditions can improve quality of life and physical health. Also, psychological principles can help enhance wellness and lead to lasting behavioral changes. As a health psychologist, I can help you emotionally cope with medical conditions, make healthy lifestyle choices, and learn skills to move forward with your life.

I strive to create a caring, compassionate, understanding, and supportive environment where you can feel safe and comfortable enough to discuss your important issues. I deeply respect you and your inner resources and ability to move towards growth and wholeness. My goal is to help you mobilize your hidden strengths while affirming your ability to grow using a custom tailored approach that will best fit your needs and help you reach your goals. During our initial sessions we will work together to create a treatment plan and set goals for therapy.

I work with individuals, couples, and families in helping them achieve control over "emotional hijacking" and poor decision making. Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection prevent people from experiencing connectedness with life and with others. Therefore, the ideal client is one who is struggling with relationship problems, anger, addictions (sexual or chemical), poor stress control, depression, or anxiety-I provide a safe environment where the individual's pain and/or struggle is met with understanding alongside a plan of action to address the issue(s).

The "get over it" advice is not always helpful. I'm here to help get you unstuck and find relief from impairing panic attacks, suicidal depression, and traumatic memories. Those who seek help face a better outcome. Replace sadness, worry and anger with self-acceptance, inner peace and empowerment.

Do you need someone to talk to? Are you looking for a change in your life? It would be an honor to speak with you about your counseling and/or ADD/ADHD Testing needs.

I believe that counseling has the potential to help a person unlock his/her ultimate potential. I utilize a humanistic approach to therapy that seeks to help a person integrate mind and body, in an effort to achieve wholeness. I incorporate modalities such as play therapy expressive arts, and sand tray therapy. However, I believe the power of the therapeutic relationship is quintessential for success with clients. My priority is to help clients feel safe and open in order to explore past and/or current issues.

I have extensive inpatient and outpatient experience in assisting adult and senior clients who have been diagnosed with mood disorders, anxiety, psychosis, and personality disorders. I also assist clients who are in crisis and/or dealing with stress, sadness, worry, grief/loss, caregiver burden, and unhealthy habits and behaviors. I also provide services to couples and families geared toward helping them develop skills and insight that will increase communication and problem solving skills. I view therapy as a means to highlight healthy and unhealthy thoughts and behaviors while providing a direction for clear and lasting change.

My goal is your self acceptance, which is the foundation for your happiness. We achieve this together by changing your perspective about yourself, by identifying your unconscious beliefs that hold you back from reaching your full potential. My method is effective, simple and practical. I teach you THE CLARITY KEY (my model) which allows you to identify the hidden motivations driving your troubled relationships, emotions and self destructive behaviors. Once these beliefs are exposed and understood, your perspective shifts and your experience of yourself and life changes. You rapidly achieve self acceptance/confidence with lasting compassion for yourself and others.

I am honored to have the opportunity to work with you and assist you in reaching your desired goals and optimal level of health. My approach to service provision is based in the foundational precept that every individual is a special, unique being that deserves unconditional positive regard, respect, and full autonomy. If you choose to receive services from me I can assure you that you will be afforded the highest level of commitment to your concerns; precise and thoughtful interventions; and efficiency in reaching your targets.
