I often tell my clients they are doing a nice thing for themselves by going to psychotherapy. One does not need to wait for a difficulty to arise as a motivator to enter therapy. Participating in therapy sessions can bring greater in-depth personal exploration and better, more fulfilling relationships with others. My practice is composed mainly of adults seeking help with anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties including sexual issues and dysfunctions.

The therapeutic approach I frequently use is cognitive-behavioral which focuses on anxiety/depression and relational/interpersonal which focuses on creating healthy relationship dynamics. I actively work with clients who are facilitators of their change.

What is unique about my practice is that I bring a wealth of personal experiences as an individual with a hearing loss and have had anxiety issues. Having these challenges ground me to be a more sensitive and caring person with an enhanced understanding of anyone who steps into my office.
