Great to meet you!

As a therapist with over forty years of private practice experience, I specialize in helping older adults, adults, and children navigate life's deepest challenges. Many of us struggle with learning how to truly love ourselves, lacking the confidence to take necessary risks for success, or finding and maintaining meaningful relationships. I am deeply committed to helping you ease your suffering and accomplish these goals. My practice is built on guiding you to significantly increase your self-love, self-respect, and the wisdom needed to make lasting changes.

My approach to therapy

Using warmth, patience, and compassion, I transform our sessions into a safe environment where you can explore your strengths and weaknesses. I am a gifted listener and problem-solver who respects the unique spirit and humanity of every person. I offer a clinically sophisticated approach blended with profound objectivity, kindness, and heart.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you will immediately feel safe to completely be yourself. We will begin to build a foundation of trust where you know I am confident in assisting your journey toward healing. If you are seeking a wise therapist who brings both heart and clinical expertise to your care, please reach out to schedule our first session today.
