Welcome to my practice

Finding the right therapist is deeply personal. Whether you’re dealing with a difficult transition, struggling with anxiety or relationships, or simply seeking a greater sense of peace and self-discovery, you don’t have to do it alone.
I offer a compassionate, thoughtful space where we can work together at your own pace to foster real, lasting change.
Why don’t you reach out to schedule a conversation?                          Online or In-person

What to expect

Our first session is a chance to explore what’s led you to consult me. I’ll listen carefully, offer initial thoughts on how I understand your situation and discuss possible ways forward.

Professional Summary

I’ve worked as a Clinical Psychologist for over 25 years, treating adults, adolescents, children, and infants in both short- and long-term psychotherapy. In my private practice, I see individuals, couples, and families.
