About

The decision to begin psychological treatment is very courageous. It is essential to research your provider options and select a psychologist who feels 'right' to you. I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I specialize in helping people who want to increase their understanding of self; address areas of thinking, feeling, or behaving that cause pain or confusion; change behavioral patterns that interfere with emotional well-being, interpersonal relationships, and professional performance; and build relationships which are responsible, respectful, effective, and mutually satisfying.

I utilize a psychodynamic frame that understands psychotherapy as the healing of unresolved past hurts and destructive patterns of behavior that often begin in your family of origin. I am eclectic in technique and use tools from psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, CBT, Jungian, experiential, systems, and humanistic therapies.

Achieving goals always takes hard work, and the psychotherapy process can be both difficult and painful. I will support you when it hurts yet challenge you to become your best self. I am here to work with you and for you. Thank you for considering me as your treating psychologist.
