I work with you to help create a brighter future to look forward to and a life filled with meaning, satisfaction, and fulfillment. Together we will deepen your understanding of yourself and your relationships, while working to construct a decision-making process that will see you thrive both personally and professionally.

My dissertation was published on the clinical applications of happiness research illustrating Positive Psychology interventions in sessions and treatment plans.

I have given presentations on happiness and how to assist patients in discovering their inner strengths and resources. I completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Wright Institute Los Angeles in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. I also have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy (EFT).

I am licensed in California, Florida, and Iowa.
