With over 40 years of professional experience, it is this role as a therapist that blends my work and life experience together beautifully. It allows me to understand clients more deeply. I work with individuals and couples, and I help clients feel contained, supported, and challenged to grow. Let's meet for a complimentary consultation to see if we are a good fit.

I draw from both psychodynamic principles and behavioral approaches in my work. My approach integrates tools from DBT, IFS, ACT, Imago Therapy, and Gottman Method. I also incorporate concrete, personalized coping strategies to help clients cultivate awareness, acceptance, and resilience. We foster a greater sense of balance and well-being.

My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. Together, we’ll address what matters most to you and tailor sessions for short- or long-term goals. Building trust and rapport is central to feeling safe and making progress.
