It may seem that things are overwhelming and somewhat hopeless now. You do have strengths and the ability to make changes. Overcoming hopelessness, anxiety and depression often takes guidance. With my years of experience working with teens, young adults, adults, couples and groups, we will identify your strengths and put a plan in place to use those strengths to navigate life's challenges. My extensive experience includes working with people with neuro-diversity (Autism, ADHD, Intellectual Disabilities) and LGBTQ+ individuals.

My treatment approach combines the latest advances in Western neuroscience with evidence-based mindfulness practices rooted in Eastern philosophies. I primarily utilize two complementary modalities - Experiential Dynamic Therapy (EDT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). These are evidenced based and trauma-informed treatments that aim to address the root causes of psychological suffering rather than simply addressing the outlying symptoms.

My work with you is motivated by a deep sense of caring for others. My hope is that our work together will change the way you imagine and live your life. Starting with an assessment of your needs, we will work collaboratively to understand and ultimately to resolve your issues.

I am a practicing clinical psychologist for over 40 years. My major focus is to help clients solve their " problems in living." My approach is developmental and research based. We pass through many transitions over the course of our lives that may present emotional and behavioral challenges at each stage of life. My treatment approach is eclectic i.e a tapestry of psychoanalytic, humanistic, behavioral and existential. Successful treatment outcomes often depend on a combination of approaches to resolve problems. Above all, I try to ensure that all therapy occurs in a positive, safe, supportive and confidential environment.
