"Therapy may begin for a number of reasons; extra support and guidance during a difficult time, a desire for better relationships, or to understand why some aspect of life is not working. At times we can all feel lonely, disconnected, or stuck. With empathy, warmth, and humor I work with clients to become the best version of themselves. We as humans have an amazing capacity to heal, change, and grow. I challenge clients to practice self compassion, authenticity, and vulnerability to build a deeper and more meaningful connection to themselves and others. "

"I believe in clients' innate ability to heal and grow, and in helping them to tap into their inner wisdom and resources. I have worked creatively, effectively and empathically with couples and individuals struggling with relationship difficulties, painful childhood and life experiences, personal and work stress, anxiety and depression, social isolation, and eating disorders.

"I mainly work with adult clients who are looking to make real and lasting changes in their lives. I am a firm believer in results coming from the therapeutic process and I am a good fit for those who enjoy an interactive and dynamic relationship with their therapist. People come to me when they have relationship issues, pervasive anxiety/panic attacks, low self-esteem, problems with boundaries, work place issues, parenting issues and general dissatisfaction with life. I am not a therapist that just listens, I offer feedback without giving advice, tools for navigating life and psychoeducation."

I support clients through an individual plan of action that blends traditional skills based clinical therapy and mindfulness based approaches."

"Therapy offers a setting in the service of further knowing and understanding one's feelings, so as to be better able to respectfully care for one's self. Generally, the more choices we have in caring for our feelings, the better we usually feel and function. Learning to talk through feelings lessens the risks of those feelings being acted out in self-destructive ways. Constructive self-management contributes to self-esteem. Self-understanding, in combination with more clearly defined personal boundaries, makes for more satisfying relationships with others."

"Typically individuals come to psychotherapy for relief of emotional and psychological pain, which may take the form of depression, anxiety, self-defeating behavior, and/or unfulfilled relationships or goals, to name a few. Many can identify some past trauma, or perhaps some mistreatment that seems somehow connected. For others the reasons are more elusive, like a general feeling of unhappiness, perhaps with oneself or with others.I strive to help you verbalize your thoughts and feelings about what happens between us in our emerging relationship as a way of understanding your relationships in general."

"The people I've worked with over the years have come with various problems: difficulty growing up, grieving the loss of an important person, inability to find a direction in life, regret over past relationships and despair about finding someone to love, overpowering anxiety seemingly connected to nothing specific, questions around sexuality. Whatever the problem, my method is usually pretty much the same. I try to make a real contact and to understand what is going on, considering a person's whole life story. After that, we work together to overcome the stumbling blocks to personal development and happiness."

"Although by orientation I'm a cognitive-behavioral therapist--that is, I focus on how thoughts and actions affect how we feel and respond to situations--I don't follow a cookbook approach to treatment. Each individual brings a unique set of problems to therapy, and I start with a thorough evaluation to assess your needs and develop a collaborative treatment plan that is personal yet based on current research. This type of therapy is focused more on the present than the past and on developing coping skills to help you deal with the problems that are currently troubling you."

"I view therapy as a process that can facilitate healing and change, as well as understanding and fulfillment. Whether stuck in a conflicted relationship, feeling lost, struggling with depression or anxiety, adjusting to a transition or life change, feeling unable to break unhealthy patterns or resolve past issues and pain, it can be difficult to know where to start. Together, we can explore the issues you face and identify the direction you want your life to take and the steps needed to get you there. Once established, our relationship can provide the foundation and safety for this process."

"Are you feeling frustrated, stuck, or unhappy in your work life or relationships? Is there a deep loneliness with no one to talk to or really understand? Psychotherapy can help and heal. With over 20 years experience, I work by creating a safe, nurturing and understanding therapeutic relationship. My approach is to actively listen and work collaboratively on gaining a deeper understanding of the feelings, internal struggles, obstacles, the impact of earlier life experiences, as well as repeating patterns of behavior that may be underlying symptoms and the root cause of difficulties."
