About Me 

Welcome to my website and thank you for taking the time to learn about my psychotherapy practice. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience. I use a warm collaborative approach to offer a safe space of reflection and work with adults to facilitate healing, clarity and making necessary changes in their lives.

My previous experience includes working in group practice and community mental health as a psychotherapist, consultant and supervising psychologist. I have a personal interest in yoga, holistic/integrative health, and offer therapy and consultation in Japanese.
