                                    I am a licensed psychologist with professional interests in adult and adolescent psychology, trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, life transitions, grief and loss, mindfulness and meditation. 
                                
                            
 
                            
                            
                            
	
                                
                                    Practice philosophy:
                                
                                
                                    I approach each client with an open, warm, non-judgmental stance, and use a variety of different treatment methods to best suit each individual client. Research has shown that the two most important factors for long-lasting positive change in therapy are the quality of the therapeutic relationship and empathy. Taking time to provide a safe, secure and comfortable environment is not only important, but also necessary so that you can feel secure in making positive change.
