Approach Description: I am a licensed clinical psychologist with more than twenty years of experience working with individuals and couples. My practice addresses a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and periods of personal change and transition. I am particularly drawn to working with people who want to deepen their understanding of themselves and explore how their emotions, beliefs, and ways of relating to others influence their experiences. My approach is grounded in attentive listening and thoughtful collaboration, creating space to explore the themes and underlying meanings in your experiences. Through this process, we work toward greater self-understanding, emotional freedom, and lasting relief from distress.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from different schools of thought and methods to address your particular needs and goals. Our work often involves exploring the deeper meanings behind your experiences and understanding recurring patterns in your relationships. When appropriate, I also bring in cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based techniques to help you manage difficult emotions and find practical ways to ease distress.
