If only everyone could achieve personal growth to enhance their quality of life, as I have seen through psychotherapy. With over 43 years of experience helping people, it has been profoundly rewarding to guide countless individuals toward positive changes: growth, happiness, less stress and anxiety, and overcoming sadness. Supporting people daily as they work toward a more fulfilling life is my greatest reward. Witnessing such transformations and knowing many still underestimate how much therapy can improve and uplift their lives makes me a passionate advocate for it. Please, find your growth and greater life fulfillment.

Life can be really hard sometimes. While you may be considering treatment for a variety of reasons, therapy can provide a critical anchor when you're feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed. I view therapy as a safe, explorative space to work through problems you are experiencing as well as learn more about the relationships you have with other people in your life. My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, and I use a combination of evidence-based, psychodynamic, and relational techniques to help you meet your goals and work towards relief and change. I value humor, being present, and meeting you exactly where you are.

I believe that therapy can be a catalyst not only for insight, but also for transformation. Life can be challenging, and at times, despite our best efforts we can feel stuck or lost.

I offer specific strategies and tools to help you change your relationship to difficult thoughts and feelings, and work collaboratively with you to take steps toward a life that is full of vitality and personal fulfillment. My style is warm and genuine, interactive, and culturally-sensitive.

I work with clients ranging from teens and adults to couples and families. My niches allow for diversity in the work I do with each client; though they differ in what brought them to me, they share a willingness to trust the process and acknowledge that we are on the same team. Colleagues often describe me as warm, direct, and bubbly. In sessions, when we talk about real, meaningful things, I meet you with honesty, kindness, and perspective. When you share details about your life, I remember them and consider them as we work together and shape your goals.

I work with young adults who are thoughtful, capable, and curious, but often hard on themselves. Many come to therapy during periods of change: starting or ending relationships, navigating career decisions, or realizing that the way they’ve been pushing through life isn’t working as well as it used to. My approach is collaborative and reflective. I’m particularly interested in how people come to understand themselves, especially through the choices they make and the patterns that show up in their relationships. Therapy is a space to slow down, think more clearly about what’s happening, and make intentional shifts over time.

Clients or their families typically present with concerns about ADHD, learning disabilities, and autism. They are interested on getting a diagnosis to help them better understand themselves, to access services like ABA, or to help their therapist fine tune their approach. They are interested in getting documentation for accommodations during their classes and during exams like the SAT, ACT, LSAT, MCAT, GRE, USMLE, or MBE. Ideal patients are motivated to work together with me to find answers that make sense and strategies that they can actually use in daily life.

My path to becoming a therapist began with personal loss and deep grief, which reshaped how I understood connection and healing. As an educator, I was drawn to supporting students emotionally, but I realized my passion lay in helping people navigate inner struggles more directly. Therapy helped me confront fear and embrace change. That experience, combined with my background in education, laid the foundation for my clinical work. Today, I integrate empathy, resilience, and trauma-informed care to support individuals, couples, and families on their healing journeys.

When you are physically ill you turn to your doctor, hoping they can help you feel better. Problems like depression, anxiety, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, guilt, or low self-confidence can be as painful, if not more so, than physical illness; they can also create serious relationship and work difficulties. I have over 25 years of experience and I have helped many adults, adolescents, and couples who had received limited or no benefit from previous therapists, other doctors, or medications. I work well with people who are skeptical of, or intimidated by, talk therapy.
