Are you ready to make changes in your life but are not sure how? I am a licensed psychodynamic psychologist in private practice for over 12 years. I specialize in working with people who have felt stuck and have made attempts to move forward but have not been satisfied with the outcome. My approach is collaborative as we explore your unique personal circumstances and how they impact your life. With compassion and understanding you will be empowered to explore the relationship you have with yourself and the world and learn how to strengthen and deepen these relationships. While the past can not be changed, together we can come to understand how it has impacted your life so that you can finally heal, grow, and move forward.
