I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience helping people to work through difficulties such as loss or trauma, conflicts in relationships, or trouble with addiction. I use a direct and interactive approach to help clients clarify problems, apply strategies to minimize negative behavior patterns, and cope more effectively with painful emotions. I also encourage self-reflection so that problems are less likely to recur in the future. At times, this may require confronting past experiences that are surfacing in the present in the form of symptoms such as depression, anxiety, anger, or problems with intimacy.

I strive to create a supportive space for clients to engage in healing and personal growth and offer a caring and honest approach to facilitating change and self-discovery by providing thought-provoking questions and new perspectives to a client's problems. I believe that the relationship between an individual and therapist is the foundation for a successful treatment experience and I will work with you to mobilize your capacity for healing and self-care.

I am a warm, compassionate, and skilled psychotherapist. Together we can identify patterns of thinking and behavior that no longer work for. We can create new, productive ways to cope with challenging emotions. I am here to help you navigate the difficulties that come your way while providing a safe and nurturing space for you.
