My approach as a therapist is a solution-focused process.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Timely, competent, and caring treatment. Individualized treatment is based on each person’s needs and desires. Ethical and legal competence when treating all clients no matter their background, gender, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status.

I have a passion for helping and walking through various challenges. I have been practicing psychoanalysis for over 20 years and consider this a calling, not a career.
