As a Rapid Transformational Therapist , I'm passionate about helping individuals rewire their brains to project positive images and words. I believe in the power of beliefs—first you make your beliefs, and then your beliefs make you. My mission is to empower others to break free from limiting beliefs and unlock their true potential. I chose to become an RTT therapist because I find the approach both creative and innovative, and I'm excited to work with clients to help them improve their lives. I can help you identify and overcome negative thought patterns that may be holding you back. By becoming more attuned to your beliefs, you can create a brighter, more positive future for yourself. Let's work together to unleash the best version of you!
We all have gifts from God, and I believe helping people to heal is one of my gifts. We are all on a journey of self discovery. All aspects of our life including the work that we do, the people that come into our lives, and the things that happen to us all provide an opportunity for growth and deepening our connection with ourselves and others. I have known I wanted to be a therapist since I was 13, because it was the first time when I saw a therapist that someone actually tuned into my feelings. Through this experience, I felt seen and truly began to see myself. The most valuable subject we can learn about to be successful in life is ourselves! How are we supposed to navigate through our lives without knowing ourselves? How can we be centered if we do not understand some underlying principles about psychology, such as how we interpret our environment, defense mechanisms we employ to protect ourselves from pain, and the mind-body-spirit connection? How can we navigate the many ups and downs of life without this knowledge? We cannot; we will be lost! That is why there is so much suffering in our world, because individually, as families, and as a society we are trying to navigate our lives without truly understanding and healing ourselves. Through understanding and healing, it helps to stop years of negative multi-generational patterns in families and helps to promote a deeper, happier more peaceful connection within and with others, which in turn, makes our world a better place.
Everyone struggles with a variety of issues throughout their lives and I am dedicated to your healthy growth and development. I utilize play therapy for children and a cognitive behavioral approach for adolescents and adults. I have a passion for helping couples to reconnect and become friends again. Discover the tools to improve and transform your everyday life. I believe there is hope in all circumstances and we are all a work in progress.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us....And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson. Fear of failure, fear of the past, and fear of the unknown can hold us back from becoming our best selves. Change is hard, and loss is even harder. Our thoughts and feelings can sometimes be so overwhelming that it seems hard to move forward in life. As a helping hand, I assist adults and couples who feel burdened by the challenges of life to discover and build upon their inner strength. I specialize in goal-oriented motivational enhancement therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to assist those struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and other conflicting emotions. Once you are ready to make the first step, please feel free to call or email to set up an appointment. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey of self-exploration and growth towards your self-identified goals.

The decision to begin psychotherapy can be a life-changing one. I work with each person collaboratively to address everyday problems as well as long-standing issues and concerns with a focus on understanding underlying causes. We will uncover patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you, opening the way toward understanding and growth. In addition, I have experience with infertility and reproductive disorders. I am an experienced psychologist and psychoanalyst and work with adults and adolescents. My goal is to increase self-awareness, and develop healthy coping skills to become the best person you can be and live a more fulfilling life. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and our work will be tailored to your unique needs, goals, and pace. I offer both short and long term treatment.
I work with adults and couples, offering mental health counseling services from a trauma-informed and collaborative stance. I use experiential approaches that foster self-examination and self-compassion, on the one hand, and that facilitate growth (reflected in behavioral change or a shift of attitudes or mindset). I work with clients (age: 21+) interested in emotional self-regulation, in learning and practicing assertive and mindful communication, and who look forward to the gradual embodying of their therapeutic learning.
I am a clinical psychologist with experience treating adolescents & adults, as well as training graduate-level clinical counselors. My specialty, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is an empirically-supported short-term approach to treat anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessional thoughts, compulsive or unhealthy behaviors, depression, anger, and trauma. CBT strategies can also be useful in the domains of stress management, romantic relationship concerns, family conflict, parenting, self-improvement, goal-setting and performance enhancement. I was trained and mentored directly by Dr. Albert Ellis, the founding father of CBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy). For women seeking therapy, I have also focused on how to most effectively help women with challenges faced throughout the life span, such as: dating, marriage, divorce, emotional disturbance, gender role frustration, parenting, self-image, stress management, career satisfaction and development, leadership roles, and the elusive work-life balance. If you are struggling with any of these issues, I’m here to help! My therapeutic work is based on a collaborative approach and a healthy dose of warmth, acceptance, efficiency, hope, support, and humor. We will work together to set goals and help you develop the tools and strategies to make them a reality. Please contact me for a free phone consultation.
I am a compassionate, experienced psychologist, in practice for over 35 years. I have been fortunate to have a vocation that is my avocation; and, relatedly, I expend substantial effort in ever-broadening my skills so that I can be as effective as possible in helping my clients reach their goals. In addition to clients that I help in my practice as a therapist, I enjoy helping others through the self-help books that I write for adults, and for children and their parents.
Are you feeling unmotivated, moody, or have run into some sort of life obstacle? Are you too shy or socially isolated? Do you worry too much about tomorrow or the future? My goal is to help you unblock obstacles and help you reach your goals at your own pace. We will work together to improve your quality of life. I currently treat adolescents, children, adults, families, as well as couples. I am a Bilingual Mental Health Counselor and Psychotherapist. I've been working in the area of human services for over twenty years. I help people of all ages strengthen their executive skills in efforts to decrease and even eliminate weaknesses responsible for instability. I am an open-minded therapist whose fundamental goal is to improve your quality of life. Feel free to contact me with any questions and I will promptly reach out to speak to you.
A good therapist is empathic, caring and pragmatic, listening to your needs and focusing quickly on finding solutions to your problems. With over 20 of experience, I have helped hundreds of clients with depression, anxiety, marital and family issues, alcohol and drug abuse, and career and life transitions, as well as other challenges. From the moment you walk in to my office, you will feel supported as we work together as partners to develop a realistic plan that is tailored to your specific concerns and will enable you to move forward with your life. Establishing a safe, non-judgmental rapport with my clients is the cornerstone of my approach. You want to feel better--happier, more energetic, more capable of handling your responsibilities and achieving your goals. Each time we meet, we review how well our plan is working for you and discuss how we can modify it to bring faster results. The benefits of working with me as your therapist include: feeling understood and validated, improvement in your relationships with your partner and family members, better mood balance and anger management, relief of anxiety and stress, superior job performance, decrease in substance abuse, and a greater sense of overall well being. I am confident I can help you improve your life. Please contact me to schedule an appointment.
