About

We work as a team to process issues and achieve your goals.

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist and doctor of clinical psychology committed to helping my clients learn how to live life to the fullest. I am also a professor who trains Clinical Forensic Psychologists at the master's and doctoral level. I have worked in this field for 25 years, and I've learned that there truly is no substitute for experience. My work focuses on the positive belief that there is much more right with you than wrong with you. Problems and issues prevent us from reaching our potential but can be successfully addressed when we are fully seen and heard. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals, so we will work together as a team. While I serve the entire community, I’m particularly passionate about serving the LGBTQ+ community. If you’re interested in scheduling a consultation with me, please send an appointment request.
