Clients say this provider is
I have been a psychotherapist for over 26 years, and see/have seen a range of different patient populations, including older (60+) adults, people of color, LGBTQ+, straight identified, couples, etc. I provide a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment to give patients the space and the support to work on whatever issues they are struggling with in a completely non-judgemental forum. I work with individuals, couples, and have experience working with patients dealing with loss/bereavement, coming out issues, anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, death/dying, relationship issues, health concerns/chronic illness, issues related to aging, and many other concerns as well.
The first session we will typically discuss the scores of your anxiety and depression assessments, get some background around family dynamics, and begin to formulate goals for therapy after establishing what is bringing you to therapy either again or for the first time.
Having worked with patients for the past 25 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress. Additionally, I approach patients with warm positive feelings, empathy, and the absolute conviction that they can almost always move past their current hurdles to lead a happier and more fulfilling life.
My patient population is extremely varied, but I especially enjoy working with older adults 60+, those with chronic health concerns, LGBTQ+ and straight-identified patients, people grieving any type of loss, and anyone willing to do the work of psychotherapy in a quest to get to a higher level of self-awareness and higher-functioning.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help patients establish problem-solving skills, and help patients adapt and adjust negative thinking habits by using practical strategies to change or modify unhealthy behaviors.
I work with patients focusing on affirming and supporting a person's gender identity in a caring and nurturing therapeutic environment.
I collaborate with patients focusing on providing emotional support, encouragement and validation during challenging life circumstances and psychological difficulties in a safe and non-judgemental environment.
I work with patient's who are experiencing loss, whether it is the death of a loved one, loss of a job, divorce, etc. We will work together to help you better cope with the emotional, physical, social and cognitive responses to your loss.
