We all experience difficult moments in our lives, and usually we have the tools to handle them. But when we consistently feel overwhelmed, stuck, trapped, fearful, helpless or empty, psychotherapy can help us become more conscious of what's behind our troubles and move to resolve them. as a result, relationships, self-esteem and life circumstances can improve. I work to develop a caring, supportive and trusting relationship with my clients, so they can feel safe to explore their past, honestly look at their feelings, thoughts and behaviors, and move towards positive change.

The burdens of life may become too heavy for us to carry alone or the pain too great to sustain in silence. Painful relationships, negative self-judgments, and unresolved past experiences can impair our ability to bounce back from difficulties. I will strive to co-create with you a therapeutic relationship based on trust, hope and respect, and in which you are in charge at every step of the process. I will help you uncover your inner strengths and capacities for growth and healing. Together we will discover the nature and the source of the obstacles you face.

I am a seasoned psychotherapist providing dedicated treatment for over twenty-five years to both individuals and couples. My goal is to provide safe, affirming, and experienced guidance actively addressing concerns related to relationship conflict and distress, anxiety and depression, issues related to sexual intimacy and connection, and complicated grief and loss. Psychotherapy can also be a powerful and healing experience in transforming relational trauma and adverse childhood attachment experiences.

Therapy is about both addressing specific issues which may be getting in our way as well as cultivating a healthy curiosity about ourselves, our patterns, and our experiences. Life is wrought with transitions which can catch us off-guard, and it is common to feel unsure as to whether we are on the right path. Thankfully, these can be successfully navigated collaboratively and discreetly through a relationship with a trusted professional. Gaining an understanding of ourselves through identifying our blind spots is the first step in establishing a life that is both purposeful and fulfilling.

Arriving at the realization that you require emotional assistance can be overwhelming. Life, can and should be meaningful and worthwhile! As a therapist I believe that we achieve happiness by accepting ourselves and by discovering the reasons we have become confused and stressed as a result of unresolved issues and negative life circumstances. I will work with you in a secure therapeutic partnership to clear away the debris from cumulative trauma. I look forward to getting to know you as you get to know yourself. My goal is to guide you as you travel away from fear and dissatisfaction towards increased comfort and peace.

Many people come to therapy uncertain of how they got here. They're hungry for deeper meaning in life, to understand their inner world and discover a self they can love. You may have experienced narcissistic wounding as a child, feel caught in self-destructive patterns or low self esteem. Perhaps you yearn for meaning and a sense of belonging. Your life may feel marred by co-dependency, anxiety, shame or hopelessness. Maybe you just need a place to feel seen. Our work together can help you uncover your deepest needs and teach you to regard yourself with compassion and self-awareness.

We live in a complex world, and the journey to finding oneself while experiencing adversity can be very difficult. Many people come to therapy with the hope that they will find a way to learn how to navigate these challenges. As a clinician, I believe that humans all possess an inherent resilience that can guide us through adverse experiences. I specialize in trauma-informed practice, and I utilize an evidence-based, person-centered, and socially conscious approach to psychotherapy that helps my clients learn ways to activate this existing resiliency.

This may involve abstinence, learning moderation, or simply reducing your gambling to a more optimal level. I currently am accepting patients for group therapy (Details BELOW).
