I am a licensed clinical psychologist working in the field for over 25 years primarily doing psychotherapy with older teens and adults of all ages. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative journey that the therapist and client go on together. One that requires curiosity, self-exploration, attunement, and mutual regard. Choosing a therapist that feels like a good fit is critical to a good outcome so I typically begin by speaking to prospective clients on the phone allowing you to share what you are looking for while allowing you to ask any initial questions you may have about me or the therapeutic process.

Nothing is more important than the way you feel. Whether you see habits and long to change them, or are tired of worn out ways of being, tired of reliving patterns that feel too difficult to confront alone. I can help you find the disconnect between what you are currently experiencing and the person you know you are capable of becoming.

I feel it is a privilege to be invited into someone's life journey and I always intend to treat people with respect and compassion. I feel I am gifted with an ability to understand people, due to experience and being fully present and focused. Our sessions move quickly and dynamically, with an emphasis on insight and then transformational goals. To reach wholeness and happiness, we need to consider the mind, body and spirit. Health and wellness, as well as a client's belief system are especially intriguing to me: " If you argue for your limitations, you get to keep them"

I help clients recognize and use their strengths to work through challenging issues. We may explore old thoughts and beliefs, and uncover where they come from, in a safe and supportive environment.
