I am a registered Psychologist with over 25 years of experience specializing in marriage and family dynamics, addictions, and mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Operating my own private practice, I prioritize confidentiality and privacy.

My therapeutic approach draws primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), tailored to the unique needs of each client and family. This framework provides a supportive environment where individuals can explore their challenges and work towards effective solutions.

Central to my practice is creating a private and confidential setting where clients feel safe and respected throughout their therapeutic journey. This ensures they can address personal and relational issues with confidence and support.
