My goal is to help people when they feel like they need a neutral, educated, opinion. I have found that when we feel as if we don't have an answer to our problems, talking to a therapist helps. I take this advice and seek a therapist when I feel stuck. when we have stress at work or home, It can often compound to other areas such as relationships, sleep, and health. Bringing balance back to one area can help to find relief in all the other aspects of our lives. Mental disorders can often complicate this process but with proper care, health and happiness can be achieved by everyone. it is my goal to provide that for my clients.
With many years of experience, I bring an eclectic, interactive approach to therapy. We each see the world through our unique lens, as well as how we see ourselves in relationships; all influenced by the larger systems we are part of. These different perspectives are honored. My style is to create a relaxed atmosphere , and our work is guided by our conversation. I listen for underlying patterns of behavior. This shapes my perceptions as to what interventions will be most beneficial. .

As a doctoral-level (PhD) psychologist, I have been working in private practice for over 12 years specializing in treating anxiety, depression, stress, career issues, life adjustments, and relationship problems. My expertise is in using a mindfulness-based therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is the next generation of cognitive behavioral therapies. ACT is a powerful treatment designed to help you get more present in your life, liberate yourself from old negative thoughts, and get into action toward creating a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I also provide emotional support animal (ESA) evaluations.
My starting point is that virtually all mental health issues result from habits of thought, feelings, or behavior that were adaptive when they were formed but become maladaptive later in life. I begin my work by asking, "What happened to you?" rather than "What's wrong with you?"
