I have come to see how people can better understand themselves and their relationships, and am able to to help them make improved choices for themselves, and to live more meaningful lives.

My practice has a dual specialty neuropsychology and psychotherapy. I see children, adolescents, and adults.

On the psychotherapy side, I use both psychodynamic and interpersonal modalities incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy to identify negative patterns of coping. Utilizing gentle challenges to current patterns, positive coping can be effected.
