Depth, With Direction

Most people who come to see me already know a great deal about themselves. They can trace a pattern back to where it began and still find themselves repeating it. My work begins there, where understanding has to become a different way of living, relating, and choosing.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I work with individuals, couples, and families to uncover the patterns beneath what feels stuck. We look at the fears, defenses, and history behind those patterns, and build new ways of responding that actually hold.

I’m an active presence in the room. I’ll ask the questions others tiptoe around, name what’s hard to see from the inside, and say it with care.

The real measure of the work is outside the room: how you handle conflict, sit with difficult feelings, hold a boundary, and follow through on the changes you want.

Understanding yourself is where we begin. Living differently is where we’re headed.

Is this the right fit?

People often find their way here when they:

Understand their patterns, yet keep arriving at the same place in life or in relationships.
Carry a lot of responsibility and want better ways to manage the pressure, relationships, and decisions that come with it
Appreciate honest conversation about what is and isn’t working
Want therapy to feel active and engaged, rather than a weekly retelling of the same story

How We Begin

It starts with a private consultation, a chance to talk about what’s bringing you in and for both of us to get a sense of whether this is the right fit. You don’t need to have it all figured out beforehand.

If we decide to work together, the first few sessions are about getting the full picture: your history, what’s happening now, and what you’d most like to be different. From there, we shape the work around you, including how often we meet and where we focus.

Most people meet weekly. Some need more during a demanding stretch, and others need less as things settle. The rhythm can change as your life does.
