When worry and self-doubt feel like a constant companion it may be difficult to focus on work, family, relationships. When you find yourself avoiding things such as conversations, that tennis practice or game, or that outing with friends, that feeling of uneasiness increases. You now fear the impact on your relationships, with colleagues, friends and loved ones as well as on your future goals. Now imagine learning and utilizing skills that allow you to overcome the stressors in your life while developing and nurturing your relationships.

Whether you feel burdened by sadness or stress, worried about your personal relationships, or puzzled by sexual difficulties, there is hope. Over the years, I have seen many people enter the therapeutic journey with doubt and hesitancy, and emerge with a renewed sense of meaning and joy in connecting with others. I am passionate about what I do and I deeply believe that good psychotherapy can transform lives. I hold a doctorate degree in clinical psychology and have post-graduate training, as well as special interest, in addressing sexual issues, relationship difficulties, and struggles with life transitions.

I have thirty years of experience utilizing psychodynamic psychotherapy in adult, marital (couples), and family therapy. Although my orientation is eclectic, I lean towards an interpersonal interactive approach with my clients. I am dedicated to combining my experience, skills, and compassion to help you develop the specific tools you need. In addition, I specialize in addressing the stress and anxiety that can be brought on with life transitions such as moving, job and career changes, beginning or graduating from high school or college, as well as marriage or separation/divorce.

Throughout life’s many stages, everyone faces difficult challenges which can cause us to feel anxious, depressed, angry, stuck and even defeated. As difficult as these times may be, you do not have to go through them alone. Personal growth is possible. I commend you for taking the first step by searching for a therapist that best fits your needs. Counseling services are offered for individuals in all stages of life. I use EMDR to treat PTSD, disturbing memories, complicated grief and addictions. Through a unique, individualized approach, I utilize multiple evidenced-based practices to guide you towards meeting your therapeutic goal.

Sometimes you do everything you're supposed to do and things go right. Sometimes you do everything you're not supposed to do and everything goes right. But what happens when almost nothing goes right? It's disheartening, disorienting, and undermines confidence. What can follow is anxiety (fear and threat come with disorientation), depression (apathy and hopelessness come with being ineffective). You may feel the world is conspiring against you. Often self-deprecation seeps in. You beat yourself up as you feel you've let yourself down, a self-betrayal informing you that you must be defective and inadequate.

My job is to connect with you, hear your story and what you need, and help you get that in a way that works for you.

Also, I will teach you strategies for when your feelings are strong or when you feel urges to something unhealthy or unhelpful.

Taking the step to enter into therapy takes courage and demonstrates a high level of personal commitment. It is a risk, and that risk needs to be acknowledged. Each of us has needs that should be met with flexibility and adaptation if we are to feel secure in sharing our private lives with another. My therapeutic approach is guided by theory and 10 years of clinical experience. At the same time, I provide a reliable, empathic, and safe environment for you to gain deeper insight into who you are and what you need, in order to find greater meaning and enjoyment in life.

I welcome the opportunity to work with adolescents and adults at various stages of the human-life-cycle. I often work with people who feel stifled by feelings of anxiety and panic, depleted by feelings of depression or emptiness, or reactive and out-of-control due to feelings of rage. While these powerful feelings can be overwhelming and disruptive, they are usually signs that something essential to our vitality, body, or relationships needs to be sensitively attended to and addressed. I provide a welcoming and confidential environment where a safe space is co-created and trust can develop over time.

Developing trust and a rapport with a client is critical to ultimate success, and is especially important when working with pre-teens through young adults. This is one of my strengths and a key component in the therapy. I have worked primarily in addressing the following areas: anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, familial discord, stressors associated with the college application process, relationship issues, and also working with student athletes.

I am a compassionate and interactive therapist who believes that by providing a safe environment, we can freely explore the possibilities for change.

I strongly believe that everyone has a need to be heard and express themselves. As your counselor, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you vent and have someone to listen to.

As both a human and psychoanalytic psychotherapist I've learned that there are a myriad of causes that contribute to the stress, anger, anxiety, rage, hatred, and depression we may experience in life. Whether they be associated with the failures of caregivers, unmet needs, not feeling loved or wanted, relationship issues, or feeling as if one has no purpose in life, psychoanalysis has a way of addressing, working through, and resolving the psychological conflicts that emerge in one's life. The effects of working through troubling feelings not only alleviates suffering, it also results in more experiences of pleasure and happiness.

Everyone faces challenging times in life, which often leads to people feeling sad, anxious and overwhelmed. Sometimes these issues feel insurmountable. My goal is to help you overcome these challenges in a safe and comfortable environment.
