Unfortunately, I am not accepting patients at this time. As your psychologist, I strive to provide you with the tools and support to improve your, your child's, or your family's life. Often this means linking early experiences and current functioning to deepen self-understanding, learning new skills, breaking out of hurtful patterns, and developing new modes of thinking, feeling, and relating to others.

Currently not accepting new clients. We are all on a journey of growth and change. Are you feeling as though you need to change to create balance in your life?

Psychotherapy can be a powerful tool of transformation, and an opportunity to gain a better handle on the sources of suffering in one's life. This process can take many forms, whether it's finding new ways of thinking and responding in the moment, gaining freedom from past influences, deepening self-understanding and self-acceptance, or finding creative and concrete solutions. I honor the depth and complexity of every client's unique personality, and put great care into listening deeply, asking the right questions, and creating a relaxed therapeutic atmosphere characterized by honesty, open-mindedness, and non-judgmental curiosity.
