About

I have 25 years of experience in conjunction with qualifications in multiple modalities of therapy. Using a psychodynamic lens, I strategically use therapy to meet your needs. I work with children, adults, and families. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD, but also work with a wide range of issues. I have treated clients facing challenges for issues ranging from stress, sleep, self-expression, and relationship struggles to severe histories of trauma and abuse.

Maybe you’re trying to figure out why you are limiting yourself at work or in relationships. Or you may be a parent looking for a compassionate therapist who sees the child not just the behavior. Let’s work through the pain, shame, and despair to create the life you want. I provide intensive, long-term services as well as short-term coach driven approach. Therapy is private and confidential.
