Introduction

I believe meaningful change begins with connection. My approach is grounded in compassion, clarity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey. With over thirty years of experience as a clinical psychologist, I’ve learned that the most lasting growth happens within a safe, trusting relationship — one where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you explore what matters most. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapies, I work collaboratively with clients to help them navigate challenges and move toward lasting growth. Clients often tell me that the steady, grounded presence I bring helps them feel safe enough to do the deep work of healing — to explore, grow, and reclaim their lives.
