Life is challenging and it is not uncommon for people to feel overwhelmed. Seeking the help of a psychologist can be a powerful tool for overcoming barriers to happiness. Only 5% of psychologists are Board Certified; I am a seasoned psychologist with two Board Certifications (CBT and Addictions), professor, and founder of the Motivational Institute for Behavioral Health. I do evidence-based work, which means more than just chatting about difficulties. We actively work together to better understand behaviors and relationship difficulties, develop goals, and follow through with strategies to achieve positive change.

Recognizing that you need help is an incredible first step in the process of recovery. If you are willing to put in the emotional work, challenge unhealthy thoughts, and behaviors you will see progress in therapy.

I am an adult and pediatric psychologist. Having been a practicing psychologist for over 20 years, my focus is cognitive behavior therapy. This involves changing the irrational beliefs behind stress, anxiety, and depression. Some of my specialties include women's issues, trauma, rape, OCD, teens, children, divorce, drug & alcohol related issues. Life is stressful. It sometimes feels like it's just too much to handle. Perhaps you are feeling tired all the time, anxious, depressed, unfulfilled in your relationships or job, or as though you are going through the motions of life experiencing little joy. You are not alone.

When you're not feeling your best self, it’s difficult to show up in your life in a meaningful way. You miss everything! Of course, everyone wants to feel happy and confident, but it’s not easy to know exactly how to accomplish that. Sometimes we need someone to talk to; a professional to support us and show us the skills and strategies to build a successful, joyful life. We’ll guide you towards deeper self-understanding and help you skillfully manage life’s big and small challenges so that you can embody the happy & self-assured partner, parent, leader, and human that you are.

As human beings, we may go through life challenges and experience dissatisfaction, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, traumatic experiences, relationship issues, eating disorders, addiction, feeling "stuck" or "life is passing by me and I don't know where I belong." My passion is to help individuals unleash their own strengths, build/regain hope, and discover their inner potential to achieve their defined road of success. I am versatile in my therapeutic approaches, assess and determine collaboratively with the individual seeking help the best fit for him or her while utilizing an integral strength-based approach.

You keep replaying the incident in your mind even when you don’t want to. The event has left you feeling on edge and afraid. You can’t relax and it’s impossible to be in public without looking over your shoulder. You can’t stay anywhere too long, or you fear you will come apart. People around you don’t understand and tell you to get over it. You wish you could simply get over it, but this event has taken over your life. You don’t recognize yourself, and you don’t think you can ever be the person you were before. You can’t sleep or focus. You believe the incident was your fault and think of things you should have done differently.

Whether your needs involve coping with depression, anxiety, or trauma; childhood issues, work-related issues, relationship issues, or family issues; or you or someone you are/have been involved with is/has struggled with a substance use issue, I am willing to help you discover your personal goals, strategize a plan for meeting those goals, and to guide you along the path you are cutting. I enjoy working with individuals who have a strong desire to identify complex areas or situations in their own lives that they would like to re-evaluate.

Thank you for visiting my Psychology Today page. I am glad that you have found the courage in seeking a therapist, and I invite you to reach out to me to collaboratively assist you in achieving optimal emotional wellness and your life goals.
