Hello. I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience. Reaching out for treatment can be a difficult task. My approach is to meet you where you are, focus on your needs, and work with you to get to where you want to be in the future. I offer skills for coping or if you are seeking change.
After a brief introduction I will ask questions to understand your current needs and goals for the future.
This is about you and your needs. With over 20 years of experience I utilize various treatment methods that best fit the client. The goal is to provide coping tools to navigate challenges and improve outcomes. I have worked with executive level clients in workplace settings offering tools to navigate complex stressful situations, hierarchy, and staff motivation. These tools apply to the everyday workplace and a wide range of staff levels. If you are interested in improving your career game this can be an option.
Much of my work is with diverse clients in a wide range of settings who are dealing with issues like anxiety, depression, identity, relationship, and life changing stressors.

CBT allows clients to challenge bothersome reoccuring thoughts and moods. CBT helps to identify how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Using the newly gained insight can change thinking patterns and lessens stress and discomfort.
Psychodynamic therapy provides the opportunity to increase self-awareness and understanding how past experiences contribute to our current mindset.
I have over 20 years of experience working with a diverse population in a wide range of settings. I am passionate about my work and tailor my approach to the individual's needs. I offer a judgement free, safe environment to explore what fits best. You might experinece acute stress, feel stuck, or want to initiate changes.
