I have helped people for many years, including adolescents, adults, and the elderly with problems such as Life Crisis, Depression, Anxiety, Bereavement and Loss Issues, Loneliness, OCD, Family Conflicts, Relationship Issues, Identity Crisis, Panic Attacks, Bipolar, and Psychosis. I strive to be sensitive to cultural and gender issues. I provide a listening, nonjudgemental ear and help the people I work with gain a new perspective on their life problems so they can thrive and not be weighed down by their past and present life experiences.

I have previously worked with adolescents and adults experiencing difficulties of daily living, such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, as well as survivors of trauma and persons experiencing psychosis.
"I have commanded foreign words to explicate the native in me, all the while obfuscating what was, but was not, could not be, spoken. And what of words? I have spoken in multitudes and platitudes. I have harbored thoughts and feelings with no hope of setting them off to sail in these words. All words but my own. There are, and always will be, two ways to tell my stories. I shall strive to choose dis-cordingly. There once was word where my innards stood. First there was word. After word there was silence. ..."

Whether you are struggling with a life transition, feeling overwhelmed, or finding yourself stuck in unproductive patterns, talking it out with a non-judgmental person can help. My clinical training has focused on many forms of human suffering, however I have particular experience in helping people work through anxiety, depression, and experiences commonly called "psychosis" (such as hearing voices, alternate realities, suspiciousness, and extreme states). Additionally, I have extensive experience working therapeutically with people who are neurodivergent or diagnosed with "high functioning autism".

I am a licensed psychotherapist with 10 years of experience treating depression, bi-polar, anxiety/panic, OCD, psychosis, grief, trauma, difficulties with work/career, family conflicts, adjustment to illness/disability, and relationship and sexuality issues.
A strong, positive therapeutic relationship is our starting point. Your wellness and growth in self-understanding and self-acceptance are our guiding priorities. I provide a safe, judgment-free environment in which we explore, together, how best to alleviate the suffering, distress, obstacles, and blockages that bring you to therapy. Beyond just reducing symptoms, we identify underlying issues/patterns to heal their emotional origins. Each session is responsive to your current needs. Sometimes this means focusing on deeper insights; at other times, we may work on more immediate strategies for coping with especially difficult or painful moments in your life.

I have previous experience working with children, adolescents, and adults dealing with a variety of problems including anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, identity confusion, addiction, and psychosis.
Integration and balance. These are the two guiding principles of my therapeutic approach. Sometimes people find themselves lost, astray, or simply curious about their current state in life. When we hit our lowest point, however, we may access the greatest change within ourselves. At some point in time, we may have lost our sense of self, while in other cases we may have struggled to form a coherent identity no matter how successful or secure we may appear. Nevertheless, we all have the potential to cultivate our resiliency and better understand who we are and who we wish to be.

With over four years of experience at a private outpatient treatment center for substance use disorders, I have seen a wide range of cases but with specialization in addressing comorbidity issues, including substance use disorders coupled with PTSD, anxiety, depression, psychosis, and borderline personality disorder.
I specialize in working with both adolescents and adults, especially ones who are skeptical about the benefits of therapy. My approach, grounded in psychodynamic theory, is effective in uncovering unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence behavior. We will begin by exploring past experiences and relationships - both positive and negative - and seeing how they have shaped their behaviors, thought patterns, and interests. Once we’ve begun to understand those deeply, we can then work together to regulate your emotional responses and develop new thought patterns.

Psychosis Therapists
What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.
When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.
What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.
How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
