Being a psychologist is more than a profession-it's a privilege. It's an invitation to walk alongside my clients as they navigate the emotional, psychological, and spiritual complexities of life. This trust is the cornerstone of my work, and I honor it deeply, believing that the connection between therapist and client is the foundation for meaningful and transformative growth.
For over 30 years, I've had the honor of helping individuals and couples overcome challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. Early in my career, I witnessed the profound resilience of the human spirit while working in hospitals, community mental health, and hospice care. I also served as a clinical director, mentoring therapists and gaining invaluable insights into the complexities of mental health. However, as the field became increasingly dominated by bureaucracy and insurance policies, I chose to focus on private practice. I believe that mental health care should center on people, not policies. That's why I don't work within insurance frameworks-allowing me to prioritize my clients' unique needs.
Today, I specialize in providing online therapy tailored to individuals and couples who are ready to embrace growth and change. My approach blends evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness, compassion, and-when desired-spirituality. This holistic framework empowers clients to explore their emotions, build resilience, and rediscover their strengths. My goal is to offer practical, meaningful guidance in a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space.
At 68, I'm at the most fulfilling stage of my career-helping people stop suffering and create lives of clarity, purpose, and peace. My therapy style is warm, direct, and infused with humor and compassion. Whether you're seeking clarity in your personal life or hoping to strengthen your relationship, I'm here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Transformation begins with understanding yourself and embracing your strengths. If you're ready to prioritize your well-being and create a more fulfilling future, send me a message. Let's start building the life you deserve-one step at a time.
