You want to explore your values and feel like your life is aligned with them. You’re feeling a...
Hi! I like to utilize CBT, Strengths Perspective, Mindfulness and coping skills in my work with teens and adults. I feel people want to find their happiness and realize their purpose.

Trust, humor, compassion and respect goes a long way while looking toward growth and understanding....
If you are reading this, then you are looking for some help. I got you. Mind Matters Therapeutics is my brain child (see what I did there?). I taught for a decade, then I decided to go back to school to practice medicine. Best decision I ever made. The best part of all this? I know the ups, downs, inside-outs, stressors, and joys of being a student. I know the demands of college coursework. I have expertise in advocating for young adults in the educational setting regardless of the individua...

You’ve managed to get by—you’ve handled the worries, feel like you've moved (mostly) past the traumas (if you can even call them that, you wonder). But "gettin...

As a Clinician I have worked with clients experiencing addiction, the impact of trauma, and family dysfunction. Perhaps these challenges have led to unhealthy behaviors that don't fit who you...
