Great to meet you!

As a licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 25 years experience I believe taking care of one's mental heath is as important to your physical health. I have experience working with Adults, adolescents, LGBTQ, Health issues, and PNES.

My approach to therapy

I believe in respecting your narrative, you are the expert of your life. Our relationship is collaborative working together to achieve your goals in a warm environment.

What you can expect from me

The first session is information gathering. It is getting to know each other and get an understanding about your expectations so that we can work together.
