The heart of my practice is a deeply humanistic philosophy: people are not problems to be fixed, but human beings shaped by history, relationships, culture, and survival. I bring four decades of experience to private practice, offering clients depth, perspective, and a grounded presence shaped by a lifetime of doing the work. All are welcome!
My approach is trauma-informed, socially conscious, and grounded in ethics. Therapy with me is collaborative and conversational rather than prescriptive. Together, you clarify what relief looks like, examine the beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you, and build realistic paths forward that align with your values, not someone else’s expectations.
If you are looking for a therapist who understands both the inner world and the larger forces that shape it, as well as someone who can sit with complexity without judgment, I offer a steady guide. Growth doesn’t require perfection. It requires integrity, compassion, and the courage to choose something different.
