My goal as a psychologist is to help you gain insight into what may be contributing to you feeling stuck, uncertain of where to go next, or unfulfilled by your current relationships. By putting words to complex emotions, ambivalence, confusing thoughts, and behaviors that no longer serve you, it is my hope that you will be able to better understand what may be getting in the way of your goals. In the process, we will work to strengthen your connections with others, and perhaps most importantly, with yourself. I am available to offer evening hours to work best with your schedule.

The decision to begin therapy might be difficult, uncomfortable, or even scary, but that's where I'm here to help. By developing a therapeutic relationship and an environment that is respectful, understanding, and supportive, my goal is to empower clients so they are able to use therapeutic tools in their daily lives. I recognize that we are all different so therefore, I will do what works best for each individual client to best meet their needs. I typically work with adults and adolescents, but I also have 15 years of experience working with children.

I believe in the power of our therapeutic relationship, the ultimate yet genuine collaborative problem solving process. Together we will create positive change. I draw from my diverse psychology experiences, spanning schools, hospitals, day treatment programs, assessment centers, community mental health clinics, and private practice to tailor my interventions to meet your unique needs. My focus is providing concrete life skills while working through underlying issues and improving our everyday relationships. I view relationships as essential for helping to create change. The office has a room for testing and therapy and another for play therapy and PCIT.
