Welcome! I am a psychotherapist who works with people to achieve a personal sense of well-being and vitality. I believe our life struggles are rooted in our unconscious. Due to imperfect childhoods, we develop defenses to help us cope. While we needed these defenses as children, they can become obstacles in our adult life, since they block our true feelings and greatest potential. I will actively collaborate with you to uncover these defenses and empower you to live a full, authentic, and joyful life.

For more than 30 years, I have helped others to negotiate their pain and difficult circumstances with compassion, sensitivity, warmth, intelligence and kindness. My interdisciplinary approach respects an awareness of each person's individuality and their life history, as people tend to cope with their problems and situations depending upon who they are in the first place. My goal is to provide both support and understanding, and through listening well, to provide expert professional guidance in helping people to find their way.

Anxiety, depression, anger, insecurities, and trauma can make even our simplest daily routine seem daunting and prevent us from living a full, happy life. Addressing the issues that contribute to these symptoms increases self-esteem, improves relationships, optimizes work/school performance, and helps with over-all quality of life—but it does not have to be done alone. Therapy can provide you with the support and tools you need to overcome challenges in these areas and live your life to your full potential.
