Psychological Wellness Services
About
Change, no matter how necessary it may be, is never easy. I create an open and supportive environment which allows individuals to feel comfortable in sharing their personal stories. I help empower individuals to set healthy goals and gain personal insight. I offer patience, support and constructive feedback to help individuals become more aware of their needs and to teach people the skills needed to make positive and adaptive choices. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy which allows me to tailor treatment to a person's needs in order to assess difficulties, set realistic goals, and to evaluate progress.
I work with individuals and couples experiencing difficulties related to self-esteem, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, postpartum adjustment/depression, grief & loss, posttraumatic stress disorder, and ADHD. In addition, I work with couples enduring marital/relationship difficulties. I have trained in a variety of clinical settings including private practice and psychiatric hospitals.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Individual Therapy – A session is 50 minutes. If you feel 50 minutes is not enough time (especially for our first session), please let us know. We work hard to accommodate your needs. There are times we may suggest longer appointments in order to help the process move a slightly quicker than the traditional 50-minute session.
Couples Therapy– We recommend the length of sessions for effective couples therapy to be 75-90 minutes. This allows sufficient time to process any conflicts that have come up since the previous meeting, to gain a greater understanding of oneself and one's partner in order to connect better emotionally with each other, and to learn new skills to manage future conflicts. However, you do have the option of the standard 45-50 minute session.
There will be several sessions devoted solely to information gathering. The first sessions will be spent exploring your hopes and fears about therapy; the history of your relationship; and some areas of current difficulty. You will each take an online assessment that will help us assess the strengths of your relationship and the areas that need to be worked on. We will schedule an individual session for each partner. During your individual session we will discuss your individual history as well as any other topics you consider relevant. Anything discussed in an individual session can be brought up in later couple sessions. Another appointment will be scheduled where you and your clinician will go over the feedback from the assessment process, go over the treatment plan, and jointly decide which issues to focus on first.
