I provide individual psychotherapy for adults and older adults, using an integrated approach. I draw from multiple traditions and frameworks, depending on the unique needs and concerns of each client over time. I have been practicing for over twenty-five years, working with people from varied backgrounds over the entire lifespan. Though I work with adults and older adults, I find it beneficial to consider an individual’s past and early life experiences especially as they impact present-day challenges. I view therapy as a collaboration where there can be safety and trust, as we explore what you need to feel a deeper sense of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in your life. Our focus extends beyond just symptom relief and instead towards lasting healing, growth and change.
