I am a Clinical Psychologist with fifteen years of experience in treatment and assessment. Education in both the Arts and Science inform my balanced approach to improving mental health. I place importance on understanding the client as a unique individual with their own stressors, life experiences, key relationships and biological/health characteristics. This understanding helps me to develop a focused and effective treatment strategy designed to increase happiness and improve quality of life. I rely on evidence-based techniques, but also understand the importance building of a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust.

Most people don’t come to therapy because life is “fine.”
They come because they’re exhausted from pretending it is.
I work with people who are high-functioning on paper and quietly falling apart in private. The overthinkers. The burned out professionals. The people who can hold everyone else together but can’t remember the last time they felt calm in their own body.
Therapy with me is not clinical wallpaper and robotic nodding. I’m an actual human being in the room with you. I’ll challenge you when needed, laugh with you when appropriate, and help you untangle the patterns that keep pulling you back into the same painful loops.

For over 20 years I have worked to help people to manage and transform anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness, loss and grief, change and transitions, relationships and divorce, self-esteem, sleep problems, and stress management. I believe that each person possesses inherent basic health, goodness and capacities for self-healing.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost or stuck in a holding pattern? I offer a safe supportive approach to help you explore the underlying meaning of your concerns regarding anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, loss of meaning, issues around spirituality and addictions. After twenty years of working with people through creativity-based processes as a workshop facilitator and now more recently as a therapist I've seen that the creative process is a living thing in the human psyche and that each of us has deep resources to help us heal. Together we'll rediscover these vital restorative resources within you.

You may be someone who appears capable and grounded, yet feels anxious, disconnected, or chronically overwhelmed inside. You might struggle with burnout, functional freeze, relationship patterns that repeat, or compulsive or addictive behaviors such as overworking, substance use, food struggles, scrolling, or caretaking. Many clients carry the imprint of childhood or developmental trauma, emotional neglect, or misattunement, shaping how their nervous system responds to stress and connection. These patterns are not failures, but intelligent survival strategies that once helped you cope.
