"What do you picture when you think of starting therapy? I've found it useful to begin by exploring together at your pace what's brought you here. Maybe it's something that feels unsatisfying or limiting. You may or may not know what you want for yourself, and what keeps you from getting it. Through our work together, we will begin to discover what isn't working for you and why. We will identify goals and begin to experiment with actions to overcome the roadblocks and old ways of being that no longer serve you."

"The way I see it, the goal of therapy is to bolster you so that you can handle whatever life brings your way.

"Which primary experience in life usually has the most impact on us? Relationships. If you uncover the source of most problems in living, childhood relationships and the resulting psychological fallout are at the root. Recognizing you are struggling with something is the beginning step in a courageous journey towards changing it. Without judgment, I will support you on that journey as you learn to understand the origins of your problems, and how to make changes for greater life satisfaction. I encourage you to respect, rather than fear, your problems as a signal to seek help."

"Do you feel curious about the therapeutic process and struggle to understand parts of yourself? You're not alone.

"Sometimes people come in to see me during a period of transition - starting or ending school or work, moving to a new city, beginning or leaving a relationship. Maybe you feel something isn't working in your life, like you're frustrated, uncertain, slightly out of step. Maybe you feel yourself hitting the same walls in friendships or relationships repeatedly. Maybe you feel lost. I'll work with you to help you find what's getting in the way of you getting what you really want from your life."

"In my practice of 25 years I have helped my patients overcome emotional blocks that had once impeded living fully in the present. I embrace a mind/body approach combining relational psychotherapy with Somatic Experiencing, CBT and mindfulness. I also employ EMDR and hypnotherapy to address problems stemming from trauma."

"The purpose of my work as a psychotherapist is to help my clients make positive changes by enabling them to learn new things about themselves and develop greater emotional flexibility. Although I focus on what's happening in the here and now, I believe that unresolved issues from the past create obstacles that hold people back in the present. Psychotherapy is helpful in working through such issues by addressing the underlying emotions and bringing them into awareness. This process makes it possible to achieve a sense of inner peace and emotional freedom, and more fulfilling relationships with oneself and others."

"From my perspective, in order to provide a healing and transformative environment, trust, genuine care, collaboration and acceptance are paramount. Beyond technique, which always accords to the specific needs of a client, the experience of being heard non-judgmentally, in one's exploration of their own inner/outer struggles and possibilities, forms the foundation of my therapeutic practice. When this is achieved, the promise of therapy - a real, sustainable shift in perception - can be realized."

""Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." (Viktor E. Frankl) For me, this is the goal of therapy- to create more space, mindfulness and room for growth in our daily lives. I work with you to attain this goal through gaining a deeper understanding of how past difficulties contribute to unhealthy patterns in current relationships and lifestyle choices so that you can begin living more authentically."

"I believe in integrated methods that address mind, body and spirit.
My goal is to empower clients to have a positive vision of their past, present and future. By increasing the understanding that we all essentially write our own histories, clients can take a proactive role in creating their lives as they intend them to be. This approach has had great success in problem solving, relationship issues, family and business issues, physical and sexual abuse, catastrophic event-related illnesses and addictive behaviors."

"I enjoy working with young adults, adults, and couples who are looking to focus on self-esteem, relationships, intimacy, sexuality, anxiety, depression, and women’s issues. My approach is to create a warm and safe environment for my clients – an environment where they can feel comfortable to engage in open and honest conversation. Using a combination of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, relational, and Gestalt techniques, I emphasize the here and now and seek to build a strong interpersonal relationship with clients. I firmly believe that therapy should be a collaboration, not a dynamic where the therapist pursues a goal on behalf of their client. By working together with her clients’ individual needs, I hope to help individuals feel a greater sense of self-acceptance, self-confidence, and healing."

"Everyone, at some point, feels as though life's problems are too difficult to deal with alone. I work collaboratively with my clients to navigate through the external and internal obstacles they are facing in order to create the change they seek. The bravery it takes to begin therapy, or continue with a new therapist, will be rewarded with a greater quality of life. My clinical approach integrates various disciplines, yet cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness practices within an evidence-based framework lead my practice."

"An interactive relationship is the cornerstone of effective psychotherapy. It is a creative collaboration. I work with people to help relieve pain and find ways of living that feel better and more meaningful. Together we identify and work through problematic issues and patterns that undermine successful living. The overarching goals in therapy are to find relief, deepen insight, generate new opportunities, cultivate healthy experiences and enjoy more fulfilling relationships. With some help everyone is capable of making positive changes."
