Discover the power of solution-based therapy.
Early in my career as a clinical psychologist, Albert Ellis, the founder of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), was my mentor. The experience was like studying art with Picasso or taking music lessons from Mozart.
From Dr. Ellis, I learned about the power of solution-based therapy, as well as its endurance. During the past 20 plus years, I have honed my expertise in this proven action-oriented approach, helping a wide variety of clients who desire fast and lasting results from therapy.
Whether you want to gain control of your life, stop binging, break free from depression or manage your anxiety, REBT empowers you with solutions that work.

Change your thoughts, change your life.
The concept behind REBT is that our belief about an event–and not the actual event–is what causes our emotions. And, if you have irrational beliefs, they are likely negatively impacting your feelings and actions.
We’ll get to work right away identifying your thought-feeling-behavior connections, using REBT as our guide. As a team, we will discover what’s been holding you back from reaching your full potential, whether that’s defined as better relationships, self-acceptance, or recovery.
I’ll teach you how to identify these irrational beliefs and replace them with rational ones. Once you learn how to do this yourself, you will truly feel better. The issues that seemed overwhelming will soon become manageable or may even disappear.
Don’t worry. Be happy.
Life trips us up sometimes, and knocks us off our footing. Learning about how you deal with falling down is the first step to regaining your balance.
Sometimes, we add to the fall by the way we think about it or how we react to it. But that also means that we can be empowered by the way we think. By zeroing in on your thought processes quickly and precisely, I can help you achieve cognitive, emotional and behavioral changes that will stay with you long after therapy is complete.
Using REBT, I’ll teach you how to recognize your irrational beliefs when they arise, challenge them and generate more realistic ways of seeing yourself and the world. In this way, you can take control of your life by altering your beliefs, attitudes, thoughts and philosophies.
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t,
– you’re right.”
– Henry Ford
When we think irrationally we tend to ignore the positive, exaggerate the negative, distort reality, and/or overgeneralize. REBT will help you deal with difficult and painful emotions more effectively, enabling you to change behavior and improve your life. In other words, the goal is to reduce your overly upset feelings and increase your personal effectiveness and satisfaction by altering your thought process.
REBT teaches that unconditional self-acceptance is of prime importance in achieving wellness.
Healthy people know that they are not perfect and will continue to make mistakes, but see themselves as worthwhile, nevertheless. They consider themselves valuable just as a result of being alive; in fact, they relish life and they have the capacity to continually enjoy themselves.
