About

I am inspired by my clients' achievements in overcoming their pain from anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, trauma, grief and loss, and loneliness. The process of being truly heard and believed in has enabled my clients to feel empowered to make changes in their lives. By focusing on family patterns, personal history, and cognitive and behavioral interventions, clients develop the tools to find happiness within themselves and with their family, friends and colleagues.
Events through out our life cycle such as infertility, job loss, physical decline, and retirement can cause pain and a sense of helplessness. I work closely with community resources and primary physicians to promote positive coping mechanisms, self growth and adaptation to life changes. My expertise in cognitive and behavioral interventions enables me to provide an integrated approach to helping people overcome the debilitating effects of anxiety and depression. The most important resource in therapy will be the strength rekindled within yourself.
