I am a licensed psychologist and Certified Group Psychotherapist (CGP) who works with adults, adolescents, children, families, and therapy groups. While my career began with a strong focus on children and families, my clinical interests have increasingly centered on helping adults deepen their relationships, navigate life transitions, develop emotional flexibility, and create meaningful and lasting change.

Many of the people I work with find themselves caught in familiar patterns—repeating the same conflicts in relationships, struggling with anxiety or self-doubt, feeling disconnected from themselves or others, or knowing they want something different in life but feeling unsure how to get there. Therapy offers an opportunity to better understand these patterns, explore their origins, and begin developing new ways of relating to ourselves and the people around us.

Relationships are at the heart of much of my work. Our experiences within relationships shape how we understand ourselves, how we connect with others, and how we respond to challenges throughout life. By bringing awareness to these patterns, we can begin to make choices that are more intentional, flexible, and aligned with the lives we want to create.

Group therapy is a particular passion of mine. I believe that many of our greatest struggles—and many of our greatest opportunities for healing and growth—emerge in relationship with others. Group therapy offers a unique opportunity to better understand ourselves through our interactions, receive meaningful feedback, practice new ways of relating, and experience connection in a supportive community.

Therapy Approach:

My work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based interventions, Integrative Attachment Family Therapy (IAFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed approaches to treatment. I am also trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions).

My attachment-focused work is grounded in the understanding that many of our emotional and relational patterns develop within important relationships and often continue to influence our lives long after the original circumstances have changed. Therapy can provide an opportunity to understand these patterns with compassion, recognize how they continue to serve or limit us, and develop greater flexibility in how we respond to ourselves and others.

Regardless of the specific techniques used, my goal is to help clients deepen their self-awareness, strengthen their capacity for emotional regulation, develop more satisfying relationships, and cultivate the courage to move toward experiences that support growth, connection, and meaning.

I view therapy as both a process of self-understanding and a process of active engagement with life. Insight is important, but lasting change often requires experimenting with new behaviors, taking interpersonal risks, and gradually expanding our capacity to tolerate uncertainty and discomfort.
