You’re probably feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you’re tired of being upset and misunderstood all of the time, or of acting out on emotions because you think they control you, instead of the other way around. The cycle of feeling emotionally sensitive, overly anxious, guilty or ashamed, and always on edge, has probably taken a huge tole on your life and relationships. You might feel things more strongly than other people, and when you’re upset find yourself doing things that you later regret. If the above speaks to you, then you likely spend a lot of time feeling hurt, misunderstood, and alone. But you don’t need to keep living this way.

Psychotherapy is a little mysterious, and when taken up with a playful kind of seriousness, I find that it's full of surprises. I like surprises, most of all when people surprise themselves with new energy and insights to slough off stale habits of thinking and relationship patterns, whatever it is that's holding them back. I like to assist with this, to bear witness to an empowering process, psychotherapy as imagining one's life and possibilities anew. To me, it's as creative and gratifying as it gets, and if you're reading this, maybe it appeals to you too.

I am a highly experienced therapist who has worked with individuals, couples and families dealing with the cumulative toll of Covid-induced stress and anxiety in relationships, life transitions and families. I focus on helping you deepen your understanding of the issues facing you and gain control over troubling behaviors.

My goal is to work with you to create a safe space for you to grow, adapt and change.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed and stressed? Have work or personal relationships become unmanageable. Sometimes life calls for outside assitance, and psychotherapy can be very effective at alleviating distress. In my practice, I use an interactive and collaborative approach where an individual can explore, learn, and heal in an atmoshpere of trust and safety. I combine psychodynamic therapy that searches for the root causes of problems with coginitive-behavioral techniques when needed that offer more immediate structured coping skills.

I believe that the client – therapist relationship is the single most important factor for successful treatment. It is my goal to provide a safe space that is non-judgmental, attuned to your needs, engaging and genuinely empathetic. This allows for a trusting and collaborative partnership to explore your thoughts, feelings and patterns of interacting with others.

I have always been interested in how physical health and mental health are connected. Unfortunately in our healthcare system, there is often not enough time during a routine office visit to explore the complex biological, psychological, and social factors that influence a person's overall health. Appointments that are 15 or 30 minutes long usually don't leave enough space to discuss the many thoughts, feelings, or questions that a patient may have about diagnoses, lab results, treatments, disease prevention, or mental health concerns.

I know that you can move through the trauma you have experienced. If you are interested in starting psychotherapy or if you want a short term, goal focused experience to work on a problem that is bothering you now- I am available. If you are traveling we can use facetime, google duo, video chat or the telephone. Although there are no guarantees, my clients get more of what they are looking for in life such as successful relationships and increased personal productivity.

In my current virtual practice I am working with many age groups dealing with the anxiety of trying to cope: with getting ready for college; with city life and roommates; with relationship partners; with making decisions to move ahead with relationship commitment, or not and if so, how; all ages attempting to cope with remote work and cramped living arrangements; and the pain and changed nature of our current city life. I help patients seeking relationships, fixing them and leaving them.
