We often think of a relationship as a noun, something we are "in" or "have"... In reality a relationship is a verb, an action, something we do. We communicate, we share, we listen, we give, we understand, have common interests, and separate supported goals. But when we stop interacting, we lose a sense of connectedness. We often stop communicating, we don't listen or hear each other, and overlook the importance of spending time together. When this happens our relationship starts to deteriorate. We feel different.

My primary specialty is in the treatment of a panic disorder. Panic disorders are rare, as only 2.5%-3% of the population are affected annually.

For most of us, the struggles and symptoms that bring us to therapy – anxiety, depression, patterns that keep us unfulfilled in our relationships, at work, and at home – are there for good reason. As painful as these symptoms can be, they’re often protecting us, in their overzealous and maddening way, from quieter questions or conflicts that are tucked just behind them. At its best, therapy heals not by targeting the symptom but listening to it. The result is often not only recovery from symptoms, but a deeper sense of freedom and sturdiness in oneself, and a greater capacity to connect with others.

My focus in treatment is to understand you as a whole person, to uncover with you your deepest desires, aversions and patterns of behavior that may be holding you back.

We will work together to identify problems and solutions, and to help you be more effective overall in making decisions and reaching your goals.
