Great to meet you!

Overwhelmed, stressed-out everyday? Feeling over-burdened? You could be suffering from anxiety, depression or something THAT IS TREATABLE! I believe in the potential of every human being to grow and change, with love, care, support, and knowledge.

I have helped people for over 20 years to manage their lives better and cope with anxiety, depression, and other disorders.

My approach to therapy

Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and other therapies, I help individuals and couples understand and manage their difficulties to improve their well being. In my experience, people are seeking relief, hoping for life improvement. They want to feel better quickly. My approach is practical and present-focused.

I have expertise in treating anxiety, including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

I also treat Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRB's), including hair pulling and skin picking.

What you can expect from me

I set out to make people feel safe and heard in therapy sessions. Then we can begin the work of therapy. I believe that a trusting, empathic relationship is the "vehicle" through which change can take place.

I look forward to meeting you and helping to make your life more manageable and meaningful.
