We can navigate through this together. As your therapist, I commit to supporting you on this adventure and beyond!

If the whole world is a stage, as Shakespeare said, what part do you play? Are you simply acting out a part or are you living the part you want? Helping clients narrow the gap between their dreams and their real lives is a major thrust of my work. I help individuals, couples and families to both pinpoint their hearts' desires and figure out the best way to attain these dreams. A lifelong student of the human personality, I presented my original research on behavioral inhibition at Oxford University. My work was published in Oxford's professional journal, THE FORUM.

I believe the process of change through therapy should not only involve self-understanding and insight into the past, but beyond that it should also focus on helping clients to learn skills for present-time challenges. Therefore my approach helps clients to develop specific skills for thinking and acting in constructive ways.
