I consider it an honor and a passion of mine to help children, families and people overcome their struggles and realize their potential to be happy and whole. Over the past 7 years I have worked in various capacities helping families and individuals from all walks of life, ranging from extremely affluent to extremely impoverished English and Spanish-speaking families. I have specific experience co
unseling children/teens with behavioral, emotional, and psychological conditions ranging from mild to severe. I have also worked with families struggling with domestic violence, developmental delays, adoption, adjustment issues and psychological conditions. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders in people of all ages including OCD, Generalized anxiety disorder, life stressors, PTSD, specific phobias and more. In a nonjudgmental and relaxed manner I help people understand and then overcome their anxiety and life stressors by giving them concrete tools to manage anxiety after therapy has ended. I use diverse modalities in order to help all types of people ranging from straightforward, logic-based Cognitive Behavioral methods to holistic relaxation techniques including mindfulness and positive psychology practices. There is no right or wrong way to feel better; some people need objective, “non touch-feely” methods, whereas others need and benefit from understanding & discussing their feelings, and then learning methods to cope with seemingly unmanageable feelings.
