Do you feel stuck? Is life overwhelming? Are your feelings getting in your way? Coming to therapy can be intimidating, but it is a step toward lifelong changes that can make your life happier and more fulfilling. For 20 years, I have worked as a clinical psychologist in private practice, schools, medical centers, hospitals, and mental health clinics helping people learn effective ways of dealing with their emotions, behaviors, and thoughts in a compassionate and supportive environment. I hope the changes you learn here will guide you when handling future life challenges.

The foundation of my work as a therapist is the knowledge that attunement in a therapeutic relationship helps people make lasting positive changes in their lives. We are all entitled to happiness, and to live with meaning and purpose. I work with my clients in partnership as we define personal strengths, and rediscover their authentic self. My clients are people who have struggled with a myriad of challenges. My philosophy is that these challenges do not define who you are. I do not treat depression or anxiety. I work with people who struggle with relational patterns that result in depression and anxiety, and want to change.

Taking the first step to make changes in your life is the beginning of a new path to enhancing your well-being. Are you stressed, anxious, experiencing trauma, a recent loss or developing an eating disorder or depression? I have helped numerous individuals, including children, teens, for more than 30 years to learn effective coping strategies and become more resilient in the face of life's challenges.

Everyone can benefit from therapy and yet it takes great courage to engage in the process.

I create a safe, supportive, caring environment, in which we work together for you to fulfill your greatest potential. As a seasoned, well-trained psychologist, I will help you to indentiy and understand troubling patterns and issues which have impacted your present relationships and life choices.

Has a stressful or traumatic event left you feeling depleted, depressed, anxious, or disconnected from your loved ones? By getting lodged in our bodies, stress makes it very difficult to “just get over it,” or "move on." Moving forward and healing, however, is possible. Even by considering psychotherapy, you are making a very important first step towards regaining control of your life. Your choice to value your mental health is the key to getting back your feelings of agency, self-confidence, and sense of control of our own emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
