About My Clients

These programs helped patients suffering with problems of insomnia, anxiety, depression, stress management, cardiac and G.I. disorders, drug/alcohol dependency problems, and severe chronic pain. In my private practice, I have had the privilege of working with young children, married couples, gay couples, under served inner city city residents, celebrities, executives and everyday working people.
My Background and Approach
Why Psychology? I am not sure of the exact time when I decided to become a psychologist. In the neighborhood where I grew up, the “highly acceptable” options were accountant, doctor or lawyer. As a psychology graduate student, I had the opportunity to participate in biofeedback therapy and stress management, at a large mental health clinic. There they treated patients with a range of issues from children with depression & ADHD, to drug & alcohol addicted individuals, to people of various ages with chronic pain and/or illness. My goal, as a collaborative effort, is to help you enhance emotional resilience, improve communication skills, promote personal growth & navigate life’s challenges with a greater peace of mind. Approach: I offer an environment where mental wellness is accessible, stigma-free, & empowering, to gain trust & provide insight for people seeking change. Other Specialties: Biofeedback, Stress Management, Assertiveness Training, Chronic Pain Mmgt, Personal Coaching.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in a mind-body approach to helping people. Mindfulness and simple forms of meditation, especially breathing & posture exercises, can be helpful for some individuals. I strongly believe that it is never too late to “train your brain” & develop coping skills to navigate life’s challenges & struggles. My conviction as an experienced therapist: WE ARE ALL A WORK IN PROGRESS!
