I am very fortunate to combine my three loves: people, psychology and dogs. Over the years my dogs have accompanied me to my office and have been of great therapeutic value and pleasure in their interaction with patients of all ages. Therapy is an exciting adventure in which therapist and patient agree to explore the patient's life, dreams, problems, fears, hopes and aspirations. As therapist it is my responsibility to guide: sometimes lead, share and always to jointly explore who the individual is. While everyones' therapy is different, therapy is the opportunity to pull ones' life together and develop the courage to change.

If opening up feels like too much—or you've been hurt when you tried before—I see you. Maybe you're carrying years of pain, disappointment, or silence. Maybe you're exhausted from pretending to be okay. You're not broken. You're not too much. You're just tired of holding it all alone.
You want to feel seen, heard, and safe. To finally let your guard down without fear. You’re longing for peace, for connection, for healing that actually sticks—and I want to walk with you through that. You don’t have to carry it by yourself anymore.
