About
Feeling better is no longer a mystery. This is fantastic news! We no longer need to be stuck in negative mood states, feel paralyzing levels of anxiety & debilitating emotional/physical pain. Instead, our brain can be transformed when the right combination of therapy skills and techniques are utilized. My 15 years of extensive training as a psychologist has uniquely equipped me with the ability to apply integrative and evidenced-based interventions to achieve maximum results. I blend compassion focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral methods, eastern practices and cutting-edge neuroscience to help you rewire the brain for a healthier you! There is hope! I have also appeared on television for my clinical work with children, adolescents and adults. I chose to become a psychologist to help make a positive impact in people's lives. I always feel so privileged when people call and have selected me to help during such a challenging time in their life. My passion is to help empower people to thrive and find their resiliency regardless of the challenging circumstance they might be experiencing. It is amazing at what can be achieved and how empowered individuals can be when channeling their energy and resources in a helpful way. Please call for help!
