We all want to be happy. We may feel stuck or face challenges. Getting support from someone on the outside, in the counseling or psychology field, can help you gain a new perspective. You can learn to make better choices, feel less anxious and feel more optimistic; find peace in the day-to-day. In my practice, I see adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families, and here’s a little bit about how I work: I work in the here-and-now and have background training in Gestalt theory and util...

My work prepared me to differentiate my therapeutic approaches and enable connections that...

As a psychologist, I work to help clients understand themselves better in the unique context and experiences of their own lives so as to figure out what each...
