I am honored to have received the #Candela 2024 award from Spring Health which recognizes the collective effort and dedication we share towards providing exceptional mental healthcare to clients such as yourself!!! With over 20 years of experience, I believe that psychotherapy is an invaluable way to help people recognize and change painful patterns of behavior so they can live a more fulfilling and joyful life. I respect the courage it takes to start this process and together we’ll tackle the challenges that you are facing. Therapy is a collaborative process and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I strive to build a trusting relationship with all of my clients as feeling seen and heard are cornerstones of successful outcomes. My initial training was based on psychodynamic principles which allows me to explore people's experiences throughout the lifespan. I have added a variety of modalities that are effective in augmenting this treatment and also allow me to help clients develop an array of coping skills that can be utilized immediately. I tailor my approach to what is needed at the time and what will be most beneficial for my client. Please note, I do work with clients individually on relationship issues but I do not provide couples counseling. I also have a specialization in the treatment of OCD.
