About Me

My love for psychology began many decades ago when I became fascinated by the inner workings of the mind and how this impacts us on a physiological level. As with many therapists, I felt drawn to this work as a way to personally heal. I wanted to become better equipped to handle challenges in my life and, in doing so, became curious about how we unconsciously repeat what we have not processed. I also experienced how the help of a trusted professional can profoundly enhance efforts to make positive changes in life.

In addition to my work as a therapist, I've also pursued wellness through a wide range of approaches outside western medicine including yoga, acupuncture, herbal and food medicine. I am not an expert in these areas but I have a cadre of trusted practitioners I believe are experts in their fields and I reach out to them as referral resources if someone wishes to augment the work we do together. 

For the past 25 years I have been in full-time private practice working with adults to break free from anxiety, depression, trauma and a wide range of mental health concerns. Early on in my career, I worked with at-risk youth and consulted in private, elementary and middle schools.

I earned a Doctorate in clinical psychology, a Masters in school psychology and a Masters in applied psychology.
