I view psychotherapy as a creative and collaborative process that leads to a fuller engagement in love, work and play. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety and self-esteem issues as well as creativity issues and matters relating to relationships, gender and sexuality.

Psychotherapy is a unique opportunity to reflect on the emotions, behaviors, thoughts, and experiences that shape one's suffering. With empathic, non-judgmental listening and reflective observations, I hope to help each individual or couple develop over time. Developments may include emotional tolerance, self-acceptance, satisfying relationships, understanding of one’s family of origin, or insight into one’s self and difficulties. A belief central to my practice is that (a) what one is experiencing is what is possible for the present moment, and (b) that change is possible.

Feel stuck, stressed, anxious, sad or angry? Find yourself repeating behaviors you wish you didn't or unable to communicate effectively? Maybe a combination of these? You are not alone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help you alleviate and better manage unwanted cycles of behaviors, thoughts and feelings long term. I specialize in effective communication and in reduction of anxiety, stress, anger, depression, addictive and self destructive behavior. I have helped many people increase their life fulfillment, balance, goal attainment and healing. I tailor treatment to your specific needs in a caring, safe and supportive space.

If you are feeling uneasy and fearful, if you are constantly worrying, feeling "lost" or "directionless", you are not alone. Its hard to ask for help but you have come this far. Take the next step and reach out.

By seeking therapy you are taking an important step toward achieving a greater sense of fulfillment in life. You may currently be experiencing painful feelings, longstanding problems, or feeling stuck in repetitive patterns. Therapy can provide an opportunity to better understand the problems that occur in your life. Developing insight into yourself can lead to lasting change, such as more satisfying relationships, a more gratifying experience at work, recovery from trauma, and an alleviation of symptoms of anxiety and depression.

(PLEASE NOTE: My practice is currently full). You're struggling; you aren't feeling like yourself. You'd like to understand your own feelings or those of someone you love. Maybe you feel bogged down; you can't make decisions. Or you're hurting; you've suffered a loss and you don't know how to move forward. Perhaps you'd like to feel more genuine, comfortable, and happy in your close relationships. Or you're always worried; you can't fall asleep because your mind won't stop. You need tools and strategies. I am a seasoned, Yale-trained psychoIogist and I offer compassionate, responsive, effective therapy for people like you.

Your story is your own. My job as a therapist is to create a space of understanding and acceptance where your story can be told, and personal examination and growth can feel safe and attainable. I believe that as an individual's understanding of their own thoughts and emotions increases so, too, does their ability to resolve conflict, heal from trauma, repair relationships, communicate effectively, and break self-destructive patterns. My collaborative role in this process is to provide active listening, empathetic reflection and observation, and attuned interventions specific to your unique needs and strengths.

I desire to work with those wanting to see change. From intrusive thoughts and psychological or personal struggles to family and couples relationships, I will work towards empowering you to effect the meaningful change you desire.

Are you always talking to yourself with "shoulds" or "what ifs"? Do you have low interest/motivation and find yourself avoiding responsibilities, self care or tasks that would actually make you feel good about yourself? I can help you!
