As a clinical psychologist with 15 years of practice, I use my training and experience to provide guidance to people struggling with a variety of relational, emotional, and behavioral concerns. Trained in psychodynamic/psychoanalytic psychotherapy, I provide both short-term problem-focused treatment as well as more long-term intensive therapy, depending on your needs.
My approach integrates the vital benefits of understanding the past with a focus on changing the present in practical, active ways. I believe in the enormous benefit of relating one's life story to a trained listener who can offer a new perspective within a safe, compassionate, and professional relationship.
I place great value on the initial consultation, which is free and without obligation, as a chance to get to know one another and help to determine the best approach for you.
