"The brain is a powerful, yet often, greatly underestimated resource for life change and life management.
Cutting edge research is proving that chemical intervention (i.e., pills for your ills) is often not the only strategy - or even the best - for mental health difficulties.
Distorted thoughts, beliefs, and expectations about life, love, mood, relationships, and self are most often at the root of the most debilitating life struggles and mental illnesses.
My clinical practice utilizes research-proven, powerful, yet simple, cognitive techniques to reprogram and rewire the brain for healthy, productive living.
I help patients master their lives and futures instead of catastrophizing them."
