About My Clients
Maybe you find yourself juggling competing demands for your time and attention. Or maybe you’re feeling depressed and overwhelmed, as you struggle to put your life back together after a major setback or life transition. In today's fast-paced world people often feel distressed and unable to cope with life's challenges. You're not alone! I will help you re-discover hope, identify strengths, and build resilience as you learn new skills to overcome depression and take back your life.
My Background and Approach
I completed my doctoral degree in clinical psychology with a specialization in health psychology. I have 15 years of experience working with diverse individuals in a variety of settings, including private practice, psychiatric hospitals, assisted living facilities, and jails/prisons. With me, you’ll get a compassionate, practical and direct approach to meet you where you're at and help you get unstuck. Together, we will identify the problem, explore factors in your life that may have contributed to the problem, and find workable solutions so you can start feeling better, faster. My goal is to help heal your emotional pain as you find clarity, develop self-acceptance, discover new strengths and abilities, and achieve your goals. After working with me, you will be equipped with practical new tools so you feel confident in your ability to successfully face life's challenges.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that life is too short to remain stuck in the past or to allow anger, anxiety, and sadness to rule your life. Let's face it - life is hard. I know from personal experience that it is difficult to pull yourself out of negative thought patterns or find the motivation to work on your emotional or physical health. My passion lies in helping adults and older adults overcome depression and grief and ensuring they receive the support they need to lead a meaningful life at any age. A quote by Nido Qubein is a beautiful representation of what I believe: "Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start." You have the power within you to change your life, and I look forward to being the one to take that journey with you. While I understand that trust takes time, I believe therapy is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore life experiences, so that together we can move past your obstacles and celebrate your triumphs.
