Making decisions in difficult life situations is harder when emotions make you feel stuck or reactive and lead to unwanted outcomes. Learning to safely express difficult emotions and recognize how and when feelings distort thinking, you will find healthier ways to respond. I work with people whose blocked feelings lead to physical and/or emotional pain, and help couples in problematic relationships develop clearer boundaries. I also have expertise with people facing end-of-life issues and welcome those who seek to explore these concerns.
Therapy is a powerful laboratory to investigate how we trip ourselves up, and test out practicing new, more effective means to communicate. With humor, hard questions, and an underlying focus on self care, I will help you challenge what gets in your way. My main focus is not medication, though I can prescribe for those in ongoing therapy with me as needed.
My aim is to help you become more resilient, to support and challenge you at your own pace, so that you become less driven by anxiety or fear. As a board certified physician in Internal Medicine and psychotherapist for over 30 years, I offer a respectful, therapeutic environment and a deep understanding of the impact of mind-body interactions.
