About 

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 25 years of experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

I believe that becoming who we are is a never-ending journey. As a therapist, it is an honor and a privilege to share that journey with you. Although we cannot force growth, healing, acceptance, or change, we can create conditions to allow and facilitate these processes. We can find and create new paths for you to walk, and new ways to walk them.

WHAT TO EXPECT

My style is warm and straightforward. You can expect professionalism, experience, and expertise combined with empathy, authenticity, and insight.

In our first sessions, we will discuss your hopes and goals, as well as your current concerns and obstacles. Then we will work together to help you move toward your goals and develop a greater sense of freedom, well-being, and a life more closely aligned with your values and who you are. 

Treatment can be short-term or longer-term, problem-focused or more insight-oriented, depending on your needs.

I view therapy as a partnership. Collaboratively, we define the problems we will work on and the type of work we will do to facilitate change, healing, and growth. I have training and skills in techniques to help with symptom relief as well as to explore the roots or deeper causes of symptoms.

Once we begin our work together, we will decide what type of approach will be most beneficial for you. Often, a combination of symptom relief and deeper, more insight-oriented work is most effective in creating long-term improvement in your sense of well-being.
