Great to meet you!

I've been a practicing therapist for 31yrs. and am excited by the prospect of working with a range of clients diverse in age, background and life experiences. It is a privilege to know people's stories and to play a role in helping others to meet challenges and be their best selves.

My approach to therapy

I make every effort to meet people where they are, help them zero in on changes they would like to make and help them recognize some of the strengths to help them get there. Sometimes the way we think can get us into trouble and therapy can be a way to figure that out.

What you can expect from me

I create a warm, safe place where my clients can be themselves, share their challenges and their wishes for themselves. I work to give clients strategies for greater awareness of how they think and feel so they can experience ways to feel better and make changes in their lives.
