Specializes in ADHD Anxiety Depression Men's Issues Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) PTSD

Nice to Meet You

I believe that people heal best by forming meaningful relationships. So, in therapy, I always seek to develop a genuine and trusting relationship with the person in front of me. I believe that a person’s true self emerges through this type of connection and knowing ourselves gives us the confidence we need to experience more joy and make significant changes in our lives.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, life transitions, loss, grief, troubled self-esteem, trauma, and relationship issues. I work primarily with adults. My advanced training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy has given me insight into how the past can influence the present. I like to work in the “here and now,” creating a more connected, purposeful, and stress-free life for my clients. As a lifelong tennis player and coach, I also enjoy working with athletes.

If any of this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out.

Please check your email and review the details below.

Missed and Late Cancel Office Policy: Our office requires two full business days’ notice (48 hours) to cancel or reschedule your appointment or your credit card will be charged a late cancellation fee. Saturdays, Sundays, and Legal Holidays are not counted as business days (i.e., if you have an appointment on Monday at 11:00 am, and you wish to change it without penalty, you would need to call our office on the preceding Thursday morning before 11:00 a.m. to avoid the late cancellation fee). The late cancellation fee is $150 for a session with a psychiatrist, or $100 for a session with a psychologist or master’s level therapist. If you are not present at the start time of your scheduled appointment, it may be marked as missed by your provider. Unfortunately, we cannot bill your insurance for late cancellations, missed sessions, and appointments with too little time. We apologize that there are no exceptions to the late cancellation policy.
