My Story

Who I am
In private practice since 1995, I work with adults from various backgrounds who come with a variety of concerns and disorders. 

Therapy should help you understand your experience in a way that actually leads somewhere. I take an active, engaged approach. That means:

  • I help organize what feels confusing

  • I point out patterns you may not see on your own

  • I connect present struggles to deeper underlying dynamics

At times, I’ll be direct - because avoiding the truth doesn’t help you move forward. But the goal is always the same: to help you understand yourself more clearly and respond differently in your life. 

 

If you’re considering therapy, you’re probably trying to understand something that hasn’t been easy to figure out on your own. It might be anxiety that keeps returning, depression that doesn’t lift, or patterns in relationships that repeat even when you try to change them. 

I work with adults who want more than temporary relief - they want to understand what’s actually going on and change it in a lasting way. 

 

As an experienced psychologist for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and OCD,over the years, I’ve worked with many people dealing with:

  • anxiety and chronic overthinking

  • depression and low motivation

  • relationship difficulties and recurring patterns

  • feeling stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about direction

Most people come in with a mix of these - not just one clear issue. What they’re usually looking for is clarity. 

Many adults come into therapy unsure of what to expect. You don’t need to prepare anything or have the “right words.” We start with where you are:

  • what’s been bothering you

  • what feels stuck or unresolved

  • what you’ve already tried

Over time, the process becomes clearer. Things that felt confusing begin to make more sense. And that clarity creates room for real change. 

Not everyone comes to therapy in crisis. Sometimes the reason is simpler: something in your life isn’t working the way it should. If that’s where you are, therapy can help you understand why - and what to do about it.
