About My Clients
I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety that won't quiet down, depression that makes everything feel heavy, or the weight of a life transition they didn't see coming. Many of my clients are professionals, retirees, or seasonal residents in Southwest Florida who want a therapist who listens without judgment and brings real experience to the room. You don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out.
My Background and Approach
I hold a PhD in Psychology and have practiced for over 20 years in both Massachusetts and Florida. My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and client-centered therapy. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatment — I meet each client where they are and build a plan around their specific goals. My focus is on helping you build self-awareness, develop practical coping skills, and move forward with more confidence and clarity.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation — not a clinical exercise. Everyone deserves a space where they can be honest about what they're going through without worrying about being judged. I also believe that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness, and that meaningful change is possible at any stage of life.
