My previous business experience in combination with many decades of providing psychotherapy are an ideal match for individuals, couples and families that want to move forward toward happier, healthier lives.

I offer a supportive, caring environment where I will take the time to fully understand what you are struggling with so that together, we can find your strengths and change the patterns or situations that have been causing you to be unhappy.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and depression, using multiple approaches (see below). Many of my clients are graduate students, and young professionals.

I work with clients on reducing the stress and creating more of a work/life balance. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and in the healing process, but I also believe in the importance of using various tools and techniques to help clients achieve their goals.
