It is a brave person that seeks help in times of need. When recognized and nurtured, every person possesses qualities that can bring positive changes to their life.

I practice what I preach. I’m very open with the people I work with about what we’re doing and share my own experiences with OCD. I like to make sure members guide the session as much as they can, and I incorporate humor to lighten the mood. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for people with OCD. Our deep understanding of the nuances and intricacies of OCD enables us to properly diagnose and treat it. Additionally, we have received intensive training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD.

I specialize in working with individuals who are committed to self-development. I specialize in using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, an approach that focuses on an individuals' values, and changes their relationship with their thoughts and emotions. I also use techniques from positive psychology to help people flourish rather than engage in behaviors that provide only short-term gratification. Moreover, given that we learn how to deal with stressors from our families of origin, I help people live as who they truly are rather than who they have been conditioned to be.

Modern life is not easy. Everything has become more and more complicated: managing relationships, meeting your professional goals, balancing your time, and pursuing your interests. We all experience these demands, and each of us has a limit. When we reach our capacity, we often feel overwhelmed, angry, depressed, and even anxious. We loose joy, and even purpose; we concede to despair and are filled with worries. Even the strongest and most capable people among us need a little help sometimes to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Our private practice specializes in helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, problematic substance use, pornography and sex addiction, relationship enhancement, or stress management. If you are feeling lost and struggling with these worries, let us help you rediscover what brings happiness to your life.

With over 30 years of experience in the field of social work I have worked extensively with individuals, couples and families. My therapy is client-directed so that clients can determine how quickly they wish to delve into and resolve problems they are experiencing. For those who are spiritually inclined I can also integrate work on a spiritual level which enhances psychological progress by allowing clients to go deep into the source of the challenges they are facing. My goal in working with clients is to work myself out of a job by facilitating movement toward a more fulfilling life.

Families, couples and individuals impacted by trauma can find it difficulty to get the help they need. Trauma can impact a families basic ability to communicate and get along, fuel a couples difficulty to feel safe and heard by one another and erode an individuals ability to self regulate. It is common to feel stuck and more often than not, unacknowledged or unresolved trauma is the culprit. If you suspect there is trauma at play, holding you and your loved one back from real progress and change, real long lasting change is here.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Play Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we’ll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better. With Play therapy, we will allow the client to explore/express feelings and emotions through healthy play.

***Unfortunately, I am not able to accept new clients at this time*** Past experiences and current stressors make it difficult to live your best life, and seem to be keeping you from reaching full potential. You feel irritable, exhausted, and overwhelmed by worry, and have a hard time keeping up with the continuous rush of your day-to-day responsibilities. You want support in healing and doing your best. You want peace in your life. *Pause and consider* What are you proud of about yourself? If you’re looking for therapy for your kid, what do you appreciate about them?
