My Approach to Helping
Meaning. Resilience. Optimism. Without these, any attempt at happiness, satisfaction, and joy will be fruitless. Viktor Frankl develop Logotherapy, a life-changing way to find meaning and purpose in life. With the development of Positive Psychology, Martin Seligman revolutionized therapy with it's focus on optimism and happiness. Aaron Beck and Albert Ellis created Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to help people develop resilience in order to more effectively deal with the adversities of life. All three are necessary to live a fulfilled, purposeful and happy life.

Prior to starting my private practice, I worked as an Assistant Director of a mental health clinic. I also have experience working as a lawyer and mediator. As a result, I am very aware of the stresses that professionals deal with on a daily basis and enjoy working in areas of career and interpersonal satisfaction. In addition, Having worked as a high school teacher and special education coordinator, I have experience in issues that student's and young adults struggle with including school problems and relationship issues.

How Psychotherapy Can Help
Psychotherapy helps people identify blocks and obstacles to happiness and success. People are able to learn new ways of thinking about their challenges and then come up with alternate ways of responding. Changing how a person's thinks about problems, developing new behaviors and gaining valuable insight are all important in making lasting change. Developing resilience, optimism and hope is key!
What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist
I love the ability to make authentic and genuine connections with people and to help them achieve their goals and dreams. It is an honor to be able to share in a person's life and to be granted the privilege of helping them grow and develop into the person they want to be. There is nothing more satisfying than helping a person to help themselves.
