I believe everyone can be helped when motivated and understanding the methods to change. People fall into habits, but with the newest research in neurobiology, we understand how the brain and emotions can be changed effecting personal growth and relationships.

I believe the "fit", or connection, is crucial for successful therapy. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental setting which fosters clarity and insight and creates the conditions for growth and healing. I use a flexible interpersonal and developmental approach.

Finding a therapist to entrust your story to can be a difficult and delicate process. It is my hope that I can create a comfortable and supportive environment where you will feel safe to share your concerns and hopes.
