I will do my best to be an inspiring, motivating and energetic partner. We will dance together, with me leading – at first!
I am a Doctor of Psychology in Psychoanalysis and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist – think of it as an added bonus!
My talk therapy can not only heal but spark transformation. I fervently want people to live the lives they dared not dream. I am passionate about motocross, skiing, surfing, salsa-dancing, and more – and I want you to discover your life's passions too!
I hear with my heart, empathizing with your emotions – I engage with you!
I am a great listener and your feelings and life experience matter to me. I do more than sit back and nod! I share my thoughts and insights, and together we will find creative ways to reach your relationship and professional goals. My approach is both caring and practical. I have over 25 years experience as a therapist and I am up-to-date with the latest science, research, techniques and theories. I believe humor has a vital place in life, especially in therapy. I do my best to make therapy fun!

Active Therapy
Stop ruminating and start moving! Active therapy enriches your therapy experience by adding nature and movement to your session. This can range from “walk-and-talk” therapy in nature (turtle sightings are frequent!) to more custom movement experiences—I’ve worked with clients while walking dogs, kayaking and even kickboxing!
My analytic training and creative approach can take you further on your journey of self-discovery. I don’t want to just ease your pain – I want you to be the happiest you can be.
