About

I am a resourceful and trustworthy therapist, licensed for nearly 25 years. I specialize in adults struggling with mood/anxiety/trauma/grief/life transition/psychosis/personality/substance use difficulties. I use an integrated, trauma-informed, resiliency-enhancing approach that includes aspects of existential, cognitive-emotional-behavioral, and solution-focused therapeutic practices. I find that in the healing process, a fundamental issue is enhancing one’s relationship with self. I’ve helped many people to build understanding of and compassion toward themselves, and develop strategies that helped to improve their life circumstances. I encourage you to trust in your ability to learn, heal, and grow—you’ve got this, you can do this, and you deserve to find your way. I look forward to speaking with you.
