I realize that no two people are the same and as such tailor my therapy to meet the specific needs of my clients. One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is that I have received extensive training in many different research-supported psychotherapy techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness meditation. So whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression or any other issue, I will have the right tools to help you recognize underlying problems, fully realize your strengths, and adjust certain behaviors and thoughts to see things a different, healthier way.

My practice specializes in treating adults and I offer comprehensive services dealing with:

Are stress and anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control anxiety no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective? You might be finding yourself in the midst of an overwhelming life crisis such as divorce, serious illness, loss, or unemployment. Or there may not even be something major happening but you find yourself feeling as if there were. If this sounds like you, I’m confident I can help. Talking about the challenges you're facing and how you're feeling can bring you the relief you're looking for. 

Whether we like it or not, we need to relate to others to survive and thrive in the world. A lot of times we can develop problems connecting with others or resolving conflicts successfully because we've never had good social role models or because others have mistreated us too much and too often. 

Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster. While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed. Many times people will not even be aware of the ways in which the trauma affects their mood and ways they relate to others in the present-day. 

There are many things in our lives that can make us feel so good in the moment that we can become addicted to them. Classic examples are drugs and alcohol, but other activities can be equally addictive as well. Upon reflection, you may realize that sex, dating, food, pornography, or video games are controlling your life and causing you more pain in the long-run than they are relieving. More often than not, addictions start with periods of casual use of a substance or involvement in an activity. For some people, the activity or drug use becomes more frequent.

Some people go back and forth from periods in which they feel depressed to periods in which they feel incredibly irritable or on a high. Or your issue may just be that you find yourself angry much of the time or your anger causes serious complications in your life. Whatever your mood problem is, you are not alone and there are people who can help. Many of my clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not own them and that there are many options available to once again have hope for their lives.
