All of my work begins with strengths, and I’m committed to keeping the focus on them even when the going gets tough.

As a psychologist with over 20 years of private practice experience, I understand what it means to commit to change and begin the process of therapy.

My training includes psychodynamic, interpersonal and cognitive approaches, at both graduate and post-graduate levels, and my role is to listen and understand how best to tailor and apply what I have learned to what you need.
