I provide therapy services for the full age spectrum using a model of intervention grounded primarily in cognitive behavioral therapy. I am committed to providing a non-judgmental, peaceful, and accepting therapeutic environment for clients who are experiencing situational stressors, medical issues, and/or mental health challenges. Those with Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Trauma, Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Adjustment Disorders (anger management, grief and loss, divorce/separation, work stress, job displacement, and life transitions), Learning Differences, Sensory Differences, Autism, ADHD, and Developmental Disabilities are welcome. I partner with clients as they build inner resources that allow them to move toward their relationship, personal, health, school, and work goals.

I provide therapy for a wide breadth of problems including but not limited to depression, anxiety, panic, trauma, addiction, grief, anger, relationship issues, and general stress. I work with patients with diverse demographic backgrounds (e.g., age, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, etc.). I do my best to establish honest and compassionate working relationships with my clients. I use a various methods within treatment that are effective in research and practice. I have significant experience in working with individuals and couples who are experiencing relationship distress. Young children (under 10 years of age) and those who are not able to participate in talk therapy may find better care with other providers.
