As a clinical psychologist with over 27 years of experience, my role is to support you in navigating life’s challenges with compassion and expertise. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, solution-focused therapy and psychodynamic approaches to help you better understand yourself, manage difficult emotions, and create meaningful change. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues, grief, self-esteem, past trauma and those searching for life meaning and purpose, I offer a safe, supportive space where we work together to build insight, resilience, and a more fulfilling life.
I offer a compassionate therapeutic approach. I work from a mindfulness-based perspective, integrating evidence-based treatments. I provide individual, couples and family therapy. I offer career counseling sessions; such as executive coaching and stress management. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for meaningful lasting personal growth.
Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and direct. I meet you where you are, offering support and understanding, while also gently challenging you to gain deeper insight and create lasting change. You are not alone and together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, find clarity, build emotional resilience and move toward a more fulfilling life.
