Psychologist, Psy.D
Accepting clients Last Updated 2 days ago

It is possible to overcome seemingly insurmountable life challenges and find stability. Psychotherapy can light the way from chaos and hopelessness towards self-acceptance, meaning, and control. Focused on your individual needs, I strive to create a time and space which is entirely yours. A safe, private, well-bounded space where honest and intimate discussions can take place. For the past 12 years, I have been working with a diverse mixture of individuals and couples using primarily psychoanalytic techniques. My aim is not simply to facilitate symptom relief, but to midwife meaningful and positive changes in your life.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I enjoy working with a small number of clients towards resolving a wide range of concerns including Relational Issues, Grief/Loss, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Adjustment Issues, School/Career Concerns, Low Self-Esteem, Food/Body Image Problems, and Identity Issues. Working together as a team, your goals are my priority.

You can find direction, realize your strength, and attain your aspirations. I understand how difficult it is to start therapy. Take the first step now and contact me to arrange a first session. If you decide to move forward, know that you will have a time and space devoted to addressing your needs. I look forward to meeting you and working together soon.
