I work to help people navigating through life's challenges and seeking a path to a more fulfilling, balanced, and vibrant life. They might be dealing with issues like depression, anxiety, stress, adjustment problems, performance issues at work or in sports, or simply the "blahs" that make each day feel like a struggle. I work with clients to find relief from their emotional burdens as they find a path that improves their overall well-being, enhances their performance in various aspects of life, and find sustainable ways to manage stress and emotional turbulence. Everyone's situation is unique and I work with you to understand the causes of your imbalance and create a plan together that builds a path forward to the life you desire. I incorporate powerful psychotherapy approaches along with exploring powerful metabolic health options that oftentimes create a synergy of improvements in people. I invite you to reach out to me. Let's talk about your challenges, your goals, and how we can work together to transform your life. Your journey to finding answers, feeling better starts here, and I'd be honored to be a part of it. Contact me today, and let's take the first step towards a healthier, happier you.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

ACT is an evidence-based approach that helps clients embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling overwhelmed by them. Through ACT, I guide clients to identify their core values, develop mindfulness skills, and take committed action aligned with what truly matters to them. Together, we work to foster psychological flexibility, empowering clients to navigate challenges and live more meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I work with clients to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to their struggles. Together, we develop practical strategies to reframe negative thinking, build healthier coping mechanisms, and create positive change. By focusing on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions, CBT helps clients gain greater control over their lives and achieve their personal goals.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

In Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help clients build skills to manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and navigate challenging situations with greater balance and resilience. Together, we focus on core areas such as mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. By blending acceptance and change strategies, DBT empowers clients to create a life they value while managing the ups and downs with greater confidence and control.

Mind-body approach

In a Mind-Body approach, I help you learn to harness the potential of powerful biological forces by integrating and guiding people through a transformative journey of lifestyle changes, cognitive shifts, and behavioral adjustments. By combining these approaches a synergy is realized. The potential benefits experienced become exponential, unlocking profound improvements that surpass the individual impact of each method alone.

Positive Psychology

In my work with Positive Psychology, I help clients focus on their strengths, cultivate gratitude, and build a greater sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. Together, we identify what brings joy and fulfillment, leveraging these insights to enhance well-being and resilience. By emphasizing optimism and growth, I support clients in fostering a mindset that empowers them to thrive and achieve their full potential.
