Success in psychotherapy is based on expectations and goals set forth in treatment, on the connection I make with you. I use evidence-based practices. It is not the absence of problems that concerns me, but more importantly, it is how we respond to them because life is full of problems. I am firmly committed to working closely with all clients helping them achieve long-lasting change… I believe strongly in the capacity for change, and I use a collaborative approach to reach short and long-ter...

I believe how we think about our experiences and what we do in response matters as much as what actually happens to us. I help my clients develop awareness of their thoughts, feelings, action, and their bodies, and help them explore how those experiences might interact with one another, both in the past and present. I also believe in balancing acceptance and change, both in the work and in the therapeutic relationship itself. I strive to create a validating and nonjudgmental space for...

Whether you have feelings of depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, or a challenging life t...
Do you feel as if you’re expected to know what to do with your life but don't know how to figure it all out? Being a young adult comes with a greater responsibility to make decisions and plan for your future. Around you, everyone seems to be finding the right relationships, advancing their careers, but you feel lost, unsure of which direction to head.

Your anxiety and OCD may show up in different ways: panic attacks, "derealization," obsessive doubting, or even with chronic IBS/abdominal pain. A cycle is born when these symptoms then trigger more anxiety/fear. It can be exhausting to focus on, and these problems can really affect your everyday life and choices. Trying to get rid of, avoid, or change the anxiety with breathing exercises, journaling, or other techniques can paradoxically make it all worse and perpetuate or exacerbate the discom...

In addition to helping the client cope with immediate distress and challenging problems, together we will explore these old patterns to discover their root causes. By doing so we unlock the potential for new ways of relating wi...
