As a licensed clinical psychologist, I’m bringing with me 15 years in academia and 13 years with a large mental health organization. These experiences have shaped my approach, but at the heart of it all, my passion remains the same—connection. Whether working with clients, students, supervisees, or training groups, I believe real growth happens through meaningful relationships.

My path to psychology started early. Growing up as the youngest of four, with three older brothers, I learned firsthand about different personalities and perspectives. My father, a psychiatrist, sparked my initial interest in the field, and my own life experiences reinforced my desire to help others navigate their journeys. Today, my mother—now a great-grandmother of six—continues to be a guiding presence in my life.

For over 30 years, my husband and I have built a life together, embracing challenges, change, and growth. Our three grown children remain some of my favorite people in the world, and our home wouldn’t be complete without our enthusiastic dog, Nugget, and playful kitten, Aurora, who remind me daily of joy, patience, and unconditional love.

What fulfills me? Connection. Whether through time with family and friends, engaging with my community, or supporting clients on their paths to self-discovery, meaningful relationships are at the core of who I am—both as a person and as a psychologist. I also find inspiration in travel, photography, and exploring new cultures, all of which deepen my understanding of human nature and the many ways we seek growth and healing.
