I am a clinical psychologist working with children, adolescents and adults for more than thirty years. I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment to help facilitate emotional growth and to help people address the significant areas of their lives that are not going well. I believe that a collaborative relationship is most important for a successful therapeutic experience. I help people explore their emotional life in order to achieve more vital, satisfying and productive relationships with others, as well as with their own self. I try to help everyone according to their unique needs and strengths.

Living with an unresolved or unprocessed trauma, whether it be physical, sexual, emotional, or even relational, can make life seem heavy. Yet, there's hope to transform yourself from a victim to a survivor. Our therapeutic journey will explore the interweaves between negative/deviant compulsive behaviors, unhealthy attachments, as well as general life areas where you find yourself highly anxious or stuck. The goal is to ultimately be able to look yourself in the mirror, smile and say, "I'm OK." You won't be alone in this journey to a healthier more positive life. We will be supporting you as you get to a more satisfying place.

My primary interests have been working with children and adolescents and their families. My work with families has led me to train more intensively in family systems work as well as couples. I have gained a unique understanding of the problems affecting these populations and how to best help. It is through these models that I attempt to help children and their families work within their systems and environments to help effect change within them and influence their own environments.

Don’t hire me if you want reassurance that you’re doing everything right.
Hire me if you’re open to looking at what’s actually happening in your family and within yourself, and to shifting the patterns that keep everyone stuck.
I work with individuals, parents, and families navigating intense emotions, high-conflict relationships, and patterns that don’t respond to typical approaches. We make sense of what’s underneath and change it.

Marriage Whisperer! That's what a recent couple called me after one of our sessions. The reality is that I've been fortunate to be trained by Harville Hendrix, an expert in the field of couple's therapy and the founder of Imago Relationship Therapy. Imago therapy is a state-of-the-art system that gives couples of all kinds, the knowledge, and most importantly, the TOOLS to help each other give and receive the love they want. I work with couples both in my office, and in the weekend "Getting the Love You Want" workshops.

My ideal client is someone that wants to explore and learn about what makes them who they are. They can be someone who has done therapy before or someone that this would be their first experience.

I believe that each person I work with knows themselves best, and can ultimately identify their own feelings, problems, and methods for managing them. I also know that everyone needs help from time to time in understanding their obstacles, the origins of them, and the path forward. I am honored to help my patients through their unique challenges. I work with adults, young adults, adolescents, couples and families and have been in the field since 1999.

I work with adults, adolescents, children, and families. With adults and adolescents I treat issues like depression, anxiety, personality disorder, and lifespan changes. With children I treat issues related to ADHD, dysregulated mood, and autism spectrum. For families I provide psychoeducation on the conflicts and communication issues beneath presenting concerns.

Are you carrying the effects of sexual, emotional, or physical abuse while continuing to succeed in your professional life? Many high-functioning leaders and creatives live with hidden anxiety, depression, perfectionism, or relationship struggles rooted in earlier trauma. You may appear capable and composed, yet feel disconnected, ashamed, or exhausted inside. If parts of your past still shape how you relate, trust, or see yourself, therapy can help you understand those patterns and begin reclaiming a more integrated and authentic life.

During my past 25 years as a therapist I've worked with several clients with a variety of presenting problems, including anxiety and depression, chemical dependency, emotional abuse, sex addiction, codependency, eating disorders, and childhood trauma. I offer a supportive, confidential and safe place for you, your partner, spouse and/or family to work through obstacles, struggles, and current/past traumas to find success. It is my role to respect your values and the goal you set out to reach in therapy.

I believe that therapy is a slow and steady process that a therapist helps their clients progress through. With this belief, my goal is to meet clients where they are at while also getting to know what makes them who they are. Whether it is anxiety, interpersonal relationship issues, or processing past traumas, I aim to create a warm and comfortable space for clients to express themselves and their worries authentically.

I believe that healing relationships, with others and with one's self, is the core ingredient for change in therapy. I feel that the optimal therapeutic approach with any person must be tailored to the needs of the particular individual and/or client system. Therapy should be approachable and create an environment of acceptance and self-love. In understanding human behavior, it is not so much about "good" or "bad" behavior, but trying to understand why we do what we do and to make sure our behaviors are constructive for ourselves and the relationships important to us.

If you’re someone who usually overcomes challenges with ease, feeling stuck can be especially unsettling. Struggling doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human. Let’s work together to help you feel more grounded, more self-assured, and more like yourself again. We’ll connect in a way that’s warm and genuine. I’ll offer gentle encouragement as we work toward meaningful change. I strive to provide a space that feels safe and comfortable for you. Above all, I help my clients rediscover the resilience and strength that already exists within them.

A belief I hold closely is that you can’t know yourself by yourself. It is a sincere privilege to be “the other person” as clients discover and uncover new, hidden or forgotten facets of themselves. I’ve done that in corporate, nonprofit and entrepreneurial settings, but there is nothing that lights me up more than to partner with others in the context of therapy.
I particularly love working with clients who have never been to therapy and clients who are skeptical about the process. It’s good to ask questions and be honest about your point of view. And it’s essential that you have - or be willing to have - an open mind.

If you're feeling weighed down by responsibility, self-doubt, or the pressure to always “have it together,” I’m here to help. Managing your emotions and difficult life challenges does not have to be something you do on your own. I work with people who want to feel more confident in their everyday choices. By identifying personal barriers and understanding your story, together we can unpack and release the things that no longer serve you.
