Specialties
Before we dive into how I can help you, I'd like to be clear that it is entirely within your rights to post a review of my services. However, I gently discourage clients from doing so for the following reasons:
1. As a member of the American Psychological Association, it is unethical for me to solicit testimonials from current or former clients who may be vulnerable to undue influence.
2. As a psychologist, I must maintain my clients' confidentiality and am restricted from responding to reviews in any way that acknowledges whether someone has been in my care.
3. Discussing any feelings you have about our work together can be an important part of your therapy. As such, I prefer and encourage direct feedback, be it positive or negative.
4. If a psychotherapist has done something harmful, you can best protect yourself and other consumers by filing a formal complaint with the appropriate state licensing board.
And, please remember, if you do choose to write a review, you may be sharing personally revealing information with a wide audience. ;)
History
Established in 2010.
We all experience difficult times in our lives, whether they're related to our work, our relationships, or finding meaning in our lives.
I provide a safe, comfortable environment for you to explore your goals and reach your potential.
I'm a clinical psychologist who works primarily with older adolescents and adults and specializes in providing relationship counseling, anxiety counseling, stress management, and depression treatment.
My approach is evidence-based - meaning our work together will se techniques that have been proven effective - and I have an active, collaborative, present-focused approach that emphasizes helping my clients create higher quality lives.

Prior to becoming a psychologist, I worked in product management and corporate development for Internet start-ups. Thus, one of my specialties and passions is providing professional counseling and executive coaching to executives, engineers, and project managers in the high-tech industry.
