I have been practicing in the mental health field for 34 years working with diverse populations in community mental health agencies, residential centers, psychiatric hospitals, medical clinics, public schools, college campuses, as well as private and group practices.
Mood disorders, Anxiety Disorders (including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Panic Disorder), Trauma, PTSD, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Identity Issues (especially those associated with sexual orientation, gender identity and gender transition), Relational Issues, Personal Growth, and Suicide Prevention.
Starting therapy is an act of courage—a way of saying yes to understanding yourself more deeply and finding new paths to healing. The word psychotherapy comes from the Greek psyche (soul) and therapeia (to serve or heal), a reminder that therapy is both science and art—a space where mind and spirit meet in service of growth.
In our work together, my goal is to help you make sense of your experiences, strengthen coping, and honor both the joy and pain that have shaped you. I strive to offer compassion, dignity, and hope while creating a safe, genuine relationship where your strengths and wisdom lead the way.
I practice as an integrative psychologist, drawing from Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioral, Attachment, and trauma-informed approaches. I value many perspectives and remain flexible—because no single theory can capture the full complexity of being human.
