You deserve a qualified professional and more, this is your life journey.  Therapy can be a catalyst for change, if you prioritize your self-fulfillment, relationship satisfaction, future of your vision.  Trust and stretch your full life goals to be that future. With over 25 years as a therapist, hundreds of clients (and reviews), I offer trust, compassion and evidence-based paths for your future. My expertise centers on anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, trauma, ADHD and issues of communication and connection. Science based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Mind Body techniques are a path to strength and growth. 

My commitment is to use my experience, education & special training to support an individualized, evidence-based path to target your vision of an amazing life. You will thrive in new and steady ways. You and I begin on our first visit, you will have prioritized your immediate needs and that begins a path of action. Optimism and motivation will follow on this journey.

Science based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (and related DBT, ACT, REBT) is a primary base for treatment, with mindfulness-based tools part of all support.  CBT is preferred per clinical studies for anxiety and depression.  The premise of this theory is how our thoughts are patterns, often distorted in a negative way,  " I am not enough" or  this is the best I can do thinking sabotages the fullness of what our life can be.  Challenging perhaps?  Yes, but our partnership will lead to amazing freedom of anxiety, lifting of depression, greater confidence and a life that represents you and authentic living (including challenges).   

My connection and individualized approach with clients  includes flexibility with appointments.    ZocDoc is one means of scheduling. I welcome email. A consultation is a great introduction. I support an interactive style, goal setting,  therapeutic writing, mindfulness in action  and offer resources & guidance in line with your goals.    Everyone needs connection, someone who is present, welcomes your individuality and diversity.  Optimism, trust & genuine compassion supports our journey.
