I am a licensed psychologist with 37 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan through life transitions, emotional challenges, and relational stress. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and family issues. My work centers on building a trusting therapeutic relationship where the roots of distress can be explored, and healing becomes possible.
I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from Antioch New England Graduate School. My approach integrates cognitive, emotional, and behavioral strategies to help clients gain insight, develop coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. Compassion, empathy, and clinical experience guide every step of our work together.
I will meet you where you are and help you navigate obstacles with clarity, support, and practical guidance. Together, we will identify new perspectives and pathways that move you forward. My goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to live a more fulfilling and balanced life.
