About my approach

Caring, engaged, and practical

My work is a blend of psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based stress management, tailored to each person I work with.

I seek to help people find creative and effective ways to identify and manage feelings, change behavior, and adjust to life’s difficulties. You do not have to navigate this alone.

Specialty

Support for Caregivers

I have a special interest in supporting care partners during the difficult journey of caregiving, rooted in my own experience caring for my husband with Alzheimer’s.

If you are caring for someone you love, you deserve support too.
