Clinical Services
I strive to help individuals recognize and use their strengths to shift their perspectives, overcome challenges, and find balance. While the results of therapy can never be guaranteed, many of my patients have experienced personal growth that they find significant and sometimes surprising. Whether in short-term treatment (CBT) or therapy for longstanding concerns, my objective is always for my patients to leave with a better ability to tackle personal adversities and a greater sense of themselves.
I am trained and have experience treating many emotional, behavioral, and personality disorders but my expertise is helping people suffering from depression, anxiety, grief, traumatic experience, and relationship/family conflict each potentially related to a wide range of life circumstances. Together, we can choose to focus on managing and minimizing the these experiences alone or we can choose to additionally explore the larger context in which these difficulties emerged. To this end, I have helped people facing transitional difficulties of adolescence and early adulthood, women's mental health (including postpartum), parenting, and multicultural, interracial, and intergenerational issues.
Choosing a therapist for yourself or your teen can be intimidating. The aim is finding a good fit. I will listen to your concerns and work with you to develop a plan tailored to your preferences or help you to find a better fit elsewhere, while maintaining a safe, comfortable and therapeutic environment.

New and Expecting Parents
Becoming a parent is a major life transition that can elicit an array of unexpected emotional experiences, bring about new challenges, and stir up dormant insecurities. I enjoy working with new parents and can help you to find your identity as a parent, distinguish yourself from your own parents, or find balance between parenting and the rest of your life. As a psychologist with training and experience treating childhood behavior problems, I am uniquely positioned to help new parents with their own children in areas of discipline and behavior management. Interest permitting, I offer a group for expectant moms which offers low-cost therapy and helps women to build a support network with others in a similar stage of life.
