“Choosing to become a psychotherapist was a decision I made relatively late in life. It was after a cancer diagnosis in 2002 that I decided to transition from a career in corporate finance to one in psychotherapy. Seven years later in 2009, I became licensed to practice mental health counseling and opened my private practice two years after that.

Because of my background in engineering and finance, I was drawn to the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach to counseling from the beginning. CBT is a logical, structured, solution- focused approach to helping people solve their problems. Additionally, the effectiveness of CBT treatments in improving patient’s moods has been extensively tested and verified by psychological scientists.

Along with my specialized training in CBT, I have life experiences that allow me to connect with my clients on a personal level. My favorite thing about my job is seeing clients transition from a place of pain and vulnerability to one of strength and hope. If you are suffering and looking for help, I encourage you to read more about my practice and my approach to therapy. If you would like to schedule an appointment, please contact me.”
