ABOUT ME
BACKGROUND
I am a clinical psychologist with nearly 40 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges. I also spent over 20 years as a C-level executive in the healthcare industry. This unique combination of clinical expertise and real-world business leadership informs my approach, allowing me to address both the emotional and practical dimensions of personal and professional growth.
Whether you’re facing relationship difficulties, career transitions, or seeking greater fulfillment, I provide a collaborative space where we can explore what’s holding you back and chart a path forward.

APPROACH
We all have patterns in our behaviors and relationships that lead to predictable outcomes. My approach focuses on identifying those patterns, understanding why they exist, and recognizing their impact on our lives—both positive and negative.
Rather than simply managing symptoms, we work together to understand root causes. I invite you to be curious about yourself rather than self-critical. Through increased awareness and insight, you’ll gain more choice in how you respond to life’s challenges, leading to meaningful and lasting change.
I work collaboratively, believing that therapy is most effective in an atmosphere of trust, curiosity, and authenticity.
