WHY PSYCHOTHERAPY?

Welcome! We can all benefit from psychotherapy at different times throughout our lives.  With over 25 years of experience, I'm an engaging, compassionate therapist who integrates proven clinical approaches to create an individualized, goal-oriented plan to help you overcome many of life's challenges and live in alignment with your values and goals. Together, we will address your hopes and concerns, building on your existing strengths while introducing new tools for coping, health and growth. I create a safe, supportive environment to discover, nurture and empower new insights and solutions. I specialize in working with anyone interested in achieving a meaningful life, and have vast experience supporting Entertainment and Creative Professionals, Healthcare Providers, Individuals and Caregivers/Family Coping with Chronic or Acute Medical Diagnoses, Men, and the LGBTQIA+ communities.
