Are you looking for an effective and experienced therapist? I have over 20 years of experience working with adults to address challenges that inevitably disrupt our lives, giving us an opportunity to reconsider our values while exploring and implementing new solutions aligned with those values. Life can be joyful at times, yet life can also bring anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. As a psychologist, I help adults 18-50+ years old navigate these difficult moments. Reach out to me to schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) Helps clients challenge and replace irrational beliefs. It is an action-oriented approach for lasting change.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.

Why did I choose a career as a psychologist? Well, I spent a few years after college working in my family’s retail business. I did not find it to be very inspiring nor satisfying. I soul searched for my path in life by thinking about the work I did previously that I loved, and the answer was being a camp counselor. Of course, that was not an option but it steered me in the direction of working with children in a therapeutic way. I became certified as a School Psychologist and was employed in a school district. A few years later I went back to school to attain my doctoral degree in psychology while maintaining my school psychology position. I started my private practice in 2002 and focused primarily on children and teenagers. My practice has expanded over the years to include, and primarily, focus on adults. Today my practice demographic is young adults and adults 18-50+ years old. Most of the work involves anxiety, phobias, depression, panic attacks, trauma and situational stress. I have consistently dedicated my post-graduate training to these areas of expertise. My practice also has a focus on music industry professionals. As a musician myself, with experience as a performer, sound engineer, production manager, and festival director, I have a unique skill set that often makes me a good fit with music industry clients.
