H.i I am a working psychologist who trained in individual and group therapy. I very much enjoy my work with people and helping them have a better life. Right now we are in the middle of a social crisis and anxiety and depression are making lives more difficult. The way we live has radically changed and the best therapeutic results can emerge by recognizing our coping skills and finding new ways to deal with old problems. My ideal patient is one who will come to trust me so that they can move forward with their lives.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, sad, anxious or angry? Are you dealing with the pain of past experiences that continue to impact your life and relationships? Therapy untangles difficult emotions and helps to inspire the insight and understanding that can lead to a more meaningful life, a healthier sense of self, and improved relationships. In our sessions, we can create a safe space for you to feel understood and empowered. We will actively collaborate together: to deepen your understanding of yourself, reduce emotional distress, create better ways of coping, and promote enduring healing.

Crisis may be unwelcome but often brings important self-knowledge. I am a certified Jungian analyst with many years’ experience in addressing a wide variety of issues, including trauma, anxiety and depression; divorce and relationship issues; and grief. If you find yourself repeating unsatisfying patterns with others, if you’re wondering why the same kinds of disappointments come up time and time again, I will work with you to take a step back and get the bigger picture.

As a Buddhist psychotherapist, I sincerely believe that people are born with the innate capacity for healing. Though your life may be occupied by significant challenges, with the right ingredients, including a good match between patient and therapist, transformation is possible.

I believe that everyone deserves to have happy, healthy and successful relationships, both with themselves & with the people in their life. Therapy is a process of learning and discovery that can help you heal. I want to be able to guide and encourage you, while also creating an environment where conversation is welcome. I believe in your value and worth as an individual and the dignity of making your own choices. You’re the expert on your own life and you should be treated as such. My approach includes empathy, authenticity and paying attention to how you are feeling in the moment.

For over 20 years, I have worked with individuals and couples who are experiencing emotional challenges within themselves, their circumstances, or in their relationships past or present, personal or professional and those with past trauma. When we don't know what the next step is to move us past these challenges, we can get stuck and from this experience, symptoms of anxiety, depression or both can arise. These symptoms can take us on a downward spiral in our mental-emotional health. It's time then for an experienced professional and attuned listener to assist you back towards the upward spiral of health and well being.

"At its best, psychotherapy alleviates suffering and makes possible a richer, more meaningful life. I work with patients by drawing on a number of different perspectives. In particular, I use a psychoanalytic approach to address repetitive patterns and historical forces that prevent people from creating the life they want to live. I integrate behavioral interventions when appropriate to confront specific problems and to help people develop a sense of competency, control, and agency."
