Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re unsure what to expect or if past therapy didn’t help as you’d hoped. I’m a licensed psychologist with nearly 30 years of experience helping individuals understand mood problems and stuck patterns—in relationships, work, or within themselves—and begin making meaningful, lasting changes.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. I’m especially helpful for people who have tried therapy before but didn’t feel it went far enough. Together, we take a deeper, more focused look at what may be keeping you stuck and how to move forward.
My approach is flexible and tailored to your goals. I draw from psychodynamic, interpersonal, and supportive therapies, along with evidence-based strategies, to help you better understand patterns, build practical skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
