Elevate Your Mind

Welcome! Living a meaningful life while achieving your maximum human potential is the goal for most of us. While you may achieve success in different areas of your life, sometimes there continues to be an internal struggle. This can be in the form of engaging in a “not enough” self-narrative, neglecting ourselves as a way to show our devotion to other areas of life, feeling unfulfilled,  or chronic feelings of nervousness or sadness.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and evidence based. Even the messy parts of life are accepted and embraced!  You deserve a space where you are the priority. Reach out today to start your journey towards empowerment and positive, lasting change.

About Me

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years’ experience. I specialize in body image/self-esteem, weight loss issues,  major life transitions (career change, new parent, divorce,  mid-life, retirement),  grief, infertility as well as anxiety and depression.  I am particularly interested in how the mind influences the body, in the good and not so good ways!

I believe in fostering your strengths and working together to help you grow and live a more authentic, fulfilled life. Each session we will develop at least one actionable step towards lasting change. Together we will  reverse chronic, negative patterns (self-limiting beliefs) and restore your motivation and drive

I focus on one-on-one counseling using evidence based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
