Welcome

Meeting with a therapist for the first time can feel both hopeful and uncertain. You may wonder what to expect, what to say, or whether you’ll feel understood. My goal is to make those first moments feel grounding and human. When we sit together, you’ll find a space where you can slow down, breathe, and talk openly—without judgment, pressure, or pretense.

Therapy begins with connection, and I believe that healing begins the moment you feel truly seen and truly heard.

With more than 30 years of experience as a clinical psychologist, I approach our work together as a collaborative relationship. Whether you are navigating relationship distress, betrayal trauma, anxiety, or long-standing patterns that no longer serve you, we will work side by side to understand what’s happening beneath the surface. My focus is helping individuals and couples build healthier, more secure, and more fulfilling relationships—with others, and with themselves.

Over time, therapy becomes a space where clarity replaces confusion, patterns become visible, and new choices become possible. You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to help you move toward steadiness, connection, and a life that feels more grounded and more your own.

My Approach

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that lasting change comes from understanding—not from quick fixes or surface solutions. Together, we will explore the patterns, emotions, and experiences that shape how you relate to yourself and to others. I draw from attachment theory, trauma-informed care, psychodynamic insight, and decades of clinical experience to help you make sense of behaviors that may feel confusing, overwhelming, or deeply ingrained.

At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship itself. Healing happens when you feel safe enough to tell the truth—about your fears, your desires, your history, and the parts of yourself you may have kept hidden even from those closest to you. In our sessions, I will bring curiosity, clarity, and compassion. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you connect the dots between past and present so you can move forward with greater awareness.

Whether we are working on strengthening your relationships, healing from betrayal or trauma, breaking cycles of shame, or developing healthier boundaries, our work will be collaborative and paced in a way that feels right for you. My role is to guide, reflect, challenge gently when needed, and support your growth.
