When it comes to therapy, it’s all about fit. Finding the right therapist who provides you with a strong therapeutic alliance is the primary factor in determining success in therapy. And through thoughtful, caring, and effective treatment, I offer you an action plan that will give you the tools to live the life that you deserve.

For over twenty-five years, I have been counseling individuals, helping them understand their family of origin, and the strategies they developed while navigating early adverse experiences.

Together, I will help you develop the skills to change your behavior in a positive way, fostering a deep sense of relief.

My practice is set in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, where you will find the solutions to difficulties encountered in your relationships, family life, the workplace, and the wider world.
