I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Whether you are struggling with feelings of low self-esteem and self-blame or overwhelm and worry, it is painful to be stuck in a never-ending loop of negativity and uncertainty. These beliefs impact all aspect of our lives from our relationships with our loved ones and friends to our careers and education. Often, we get stuck continuing the same patterns because we don’t know what else to do and we can feel at a loss. The good news is, you have already taken the first step in changing the cycle just by being here and for that, I congratulate you!

Now Accepting New Clients - There’s no denying it, sometimes life can be really hard. And in addition to the many things happening outside ourselves, we all tend to get in our own way as well. We all sometimes think, feel, or do things that aren’t consistent with the person we want to be. This is completely normal, but it doesn’t have to be that way, and I’d like to help you make it better.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience in various settings, currently working exclusively with adults in individual therapy. My primary orientation is psychodynamic, which means that I help clients look at current symptoms and relationship problems as manifestations of patterns - often outside of our awareness - that we learn in childhood. Often this learning leads us to suppress important parts of ourselves and our experiences, which in turn leads to suffering. I believe that exploring these patterns and slowly acquainting ourselves with disowned feelings and conflicts is critical for lasting symptom change.

You deserve to feel better! Therapy does not always mean you are in crisis; we all need support from time to time in navigating life’s more challenging paths. I believe that therapy provides a judgment-free space for a person to build a safe relationship in which you can be real, be honest, and work together with your therapist to heal, grow, learn a bit more about yourself, and hopefully laugh along the way!

I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process between the client and therapist. There are many reasons that people choose to come to therapy. Clients have come to see me due to PTSD/trauma-related disorders, depression, anxiety, adjustment, grief, relational problems, sexual orientation or gender identity issues and other life transitions/changes. I adapt my treatment to meet the unique needs of each client.
