Why Psychotherapy?

If you are experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, stress, or chronic pain, it is time to seek help. These are struggles that often hold people back from succeeding at work, at school, and in relationships. They can also contribute to feelings of overall dissatisfaction with life, low self-esteem, and a lack of confidence. Psychotherapy can help decrease these struggles through the exploration of the thoughts and experiences that created them. When your thought patterns and coping skills are more positive, effective, and productive, you can live a happier, fuller and more satisfying life.

Testing Services
Academic Diagnostic Testing (Children and Adults)
  • ADHD
  • Learning Disorders
  • Behavioral Problems
  • Emotional Issues

Along with therapy services, I offer academic diagnostic testing to determine if attention deficits, learning disorders, behavioral problems and/or emotional issues are contributing to academic difficulties. I offer recommendations and care coordination to help decrease academic struggles associated with these issues.

Approach
During the first few sessions, I will take a detailed psychosocial history in order to learn as much as I can about your psychological history and current symptoms, including past treatment. I approach these sessions, as well as subsequent ones, with the role of empathic listener. I aim to provide a caring and nonjudgmental atmosphere in which you can feel comfortable and validated. Confidentiality is of utmost importance.

My approach to psychotherapy is based on the cognitive- behavioral model of treatment, which focuses on recognizing and changing inaccurate, ineffective, and unproductive thought and behavior patterns.

Your goals are up to you. You decide what you want to change, and we will work together to put you on a clearer path to positive thinking and action.
