If you are struggling with anxiety, feelings of unworthiness, a sense of loss & grief or relationship problems I can help. I have been working successfully with individuals, couples and families for almost 30 years. Together we will clarify your goals and through our mutual collaboration positive change can occur. If you commit to the process you will make a dramatic shift in your life; (stop repetitive, self-defeating behaviors; start to heal from deeply rooted pain which you may have previously been unable to resolve; learn to actively listen and genuinely hear what your partner, family member, client or boss is saying to you.

I provide long-term psychodynamic therapy to adults and couples. I focus on exploring interpersonal and trauma-based patterns, and how they shape personality, emotions, and everyday functioning. I also use mindfulness, problem solving, and other strategies if your needs call for them. Meeting more than once per week can facilitate this work but I am open to your preference. I seek to create an open, engaged, comfortable, and constantly evolving therapeutic relationship that motivates you to work through your struggles. I individualize my approach to your unique needs and continually adapt as therapy proceeds.

Whether therapy is something you feel you need, something you want, or something your parents are making you do, understanding your deeper self is never a bad choice. But it can be a challenging one. I honor any person willing or wanting to embark on that adventure, and focus on helping my clients to identify, understand, and explore the aspects of their lives and their selves that feel stuck, painful, or not quite where they want them to be. I firmly believe that depth of understanding, emotional awareness, and rejuvenated coping skills are the foundations of progress, confidence, and success.

Our experiences mold us in various ways. If I were to imagine a plant that captures what happens to many of us when faced with challenging and persistent experiences, the CACTUS comes to mind. Like the CACTUS, we develop tougher skin and spikes to protect ourselves from problematic situations. When not processed correctly, the development of these characteristics may detract attention from the other powerful properties we possess. For some, the CACTUS may be the least appealing plant. When given the time to learn about it, you discover that the CACTUS is extremely resilient, powerful, beautiful and filled with wonders.

My approach to therapy is guided by the firm belief that the strength of the therapist-client relationship is the most important element of successful treatment. I see productive and rewarding work as emanating from a dynamic collaboration between myself and my clients. My goal is to help every client live a life that is more fulfilling. I am warm and direct and I provide a safe and supportive environment, helping clients to access their strengths, express a wide range of thoughts and feelings, and continually move toward greater self-discovery.

Congratulations on taking this step towards your new freedom. It's time to start healing. You're not alone if you find yourself searching for answers to these questions: How do I find a lasting sense of purpose in my life? When will I finally be content with my accomplishments? Why do I eventually get dissatisfied with most all of my relationships? Will I ever find lasting joy and passion? How do I find the courage to be my own person? Why does it seem like I sabotage my own success? Together, we'll work to set realistic goals, identify barriers, remove obstacles and unlock your full potential.

Sometimes life can be difficult to navigate. Are unhealthy habits getting in the way? Does the map you use to guide your life (and your relationships) need some adjusting or do you realize you want a new path? I can help you figure this out so you can have peace of mind, better management of your emotions, and be the best version of yourself.

I believe all people deserve to feel their best and realize their true potential. The individuals, couples, and families that come to me for therapy are often down and out, riddled with anxiety and conflict, and looking for a new lease on life. Using my years of experience and training and a variety of specialized skills and techniques, I help each of my clients find the strength within to overcome their personal challenges. I partner with my clients to discover what gets in the way of their happiness and inner peace and to rediscover the lives they want to live and to live them vibrantly!

As a counselor, I focus on working with adolescents and adults to address issues of anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.

Our capacity to connect, both with ourselves (i.e. our passions, feelings, and body) and with others, is crucial to our feelings of well-being. When we connect, we generally feel a sense of aliveness in ourselves and the world. When we can't connect, we feel anxious, isolated, empty, or depressed. I feel my job is to help clients to more fully connect to the range of their experiences. I help adults and adolescents explore why they lose connection. I help them identify, understand, and overcome the deep root of their disconnection. I help them find well-being, which gives me great joy.
