I am a Licensed Psychologist with over 7 years of experience. I hold several graduate degrees, including a Doctor of Psychology and Master of Business Administration. In addition to working with individuals, I help couples and families identify and overcome problems in relationships, especially balancing the demands of family, career, and life. I provide a personalized approach of empirically supported techniques that are tailored to individual needs. More specifically, I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it is one of the most efficacious and cost effective platforms to achieve long-term improvement. However, I am also trained in other evidenced based treatment modalities, such as Humanistic, Rational-Emotive, Interpersonal, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
My primary areas of expertise include:
- Stress and Anxiety - Therapy for yourself or your child can help identify problems and create solutions for a happier and healthier life. As Psychologist, I provide high quality and effective therapy to address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, work life balance and issues in stress management.
- Relationship & Intimacy Issues - No relationship is perfect and all relationships require time, energy and effort to thrive. Working with a Psychologist can help you resolve issues and improve the quality of your relationship. Additionally, premarital counseling can help you secure great start to your life together. I work with dating, engaged and married couples to help them achieve balance and success in all areas of their lives, including their relationship.
- Family Conflict & Parenting Issues - Every family will be challenged by significant problems at some point. When one member is off, the whole family can be thrown into a tailspin. However, the sooner the problem is addressed, the easier it is to change. Common issues address conflict, work life balance, behavioral problems, remarriage and divorce.
- Motivation, Self-esteem and Confidence - Therapy can help you identify problems and create solutions to achieve a happier, healthier and more successful life. Although the focus of therapy varies from person to person, therapy generally involves changing patterns that have been identified as impacting self-concept, interactions with other people and expectations about the future. While a large portion of therapy is focused around your current state, it is also important to understand the deeper explanations behind behaviors, feelings and thoughts to achieve sustainable, long-term change.
- Career Difficulties - Whether we admit it or not, our career is a large influence on our happiness in life. Balancing work, life, and family has become even more difficult than before. As a former leadership development consultant, I work with people to help create plans for success in managing every area of their life. Additionally, I can help you think though a career change or career options.
- High Achieving and Gifted Adults (i.e. Entrepreneurs) - Are you or your child high achieving in some areas of life, but struggling in others? High achievement does not shield individuals from hardships. In fact, these individuals are more likely to experience unique set of concerns related to their drive and success. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a Psychologist can help.
I look forward to hearing from you!
