Compassionate, science-based therapy

I believe in creating an accepting, safe space where we can explore problems. And I believe in using scientifically proven techniques to bring about desired changes. Beginning with a deep understanding of your struggles, needs, and goals, we will collaboratively work on increasing insight, altering mindset, and transforming life.

My work is informed by dozens of years devoted to practicing and teaching psychotherapy, as well as being involved in cutting-edge psychological science. The mental health field is always evolving and I am committed to lifelong learning to stay abreast of new research and treatment methods. This allows me to bring the latest behavioral science advancements to my clients.
