We’ll look at the stories and beliefs that have shaped you—some that help you grow and others that may be holding you back.

Therapy with me is about creating room for healing, clarity, and living more fully as the person you want to be.

My practice includes leading DBT groups, supporting first responders and healthcare professionals managing stress and burnout, and working with individuals seeking deeper psychodynamic exploration.
What sets me apart is the way I combine deep clinical experience with a warm, down-to-earth style. With over 30 years of helping people navigate life’s challenges, I know healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. I listen closely, help uncover the roots of old patterns, and give you practical tools you can use right away. Many clients say they feel truly seen for the
