It’s not easy making the decision to begin therapy. As your therapist I will listen, connect, and collaborate with you to help you feel comfortable, safe and listened to. I have experience with clients from a wide variety of cultural, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds as well as extensive knowledge working with patients with medical issues and dealing with end of life issues.

For over 20 years, I have counseled children, adolescents, families, couples and adults of all ages which has enabled me to have a broad understanding of how each stage of life can impact on the next. I use psychodynamic treatment with attention to patterns of early attachment and family experience, but most of all I am committed to helping you feel better.

Being warm, curious and genuinely caring about my clients has helped me help clients find their way through depression, anxiety, stress and other emotional disruptions so they can function and thrive in everyday life. My relational, warm, non-judgmental and accepting approach fosters connection with each client to promote progress and success in therapy.
