Practice Information

With over 30 years of experience, I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where people of all ages can feel supported. I understand that each person’s journey is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs and goals.

I have extensive experience providing counseling for a wide range of concerns, including:

● Anxiety and depression

● OCD and trauma

● Grief and loss

● Life transitions

● Relationship challenges

● Chronic pain and health issues

I also provide parental consultation and support.

My approach is grounded in proven methods, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and both short- and long-term Dynamic Psychotherapy. Depending on your needs, I may also incorporate EMDR, Prolonged Exposure (PE), Hypnotherapy, or Motivational Interviewing to support your healing and growth.

Sessions are held remotely (via Zoom), so you can access support from the comfort of your home.

If you’re thinking about starting therapy or have questions, feel free to reach out by email.

I’d be happy to connect and see how I can support you.

  • EMDR: I have over 20 years of experience using EMDR to treat trauma and OCD.
  • Prolonged Exposure: I was trained by Dr. Edna Foa, a world-renowned authority in the fields of PTSD and OCD.
