You don’t have to stay stuck or feel like your life isn't where you want it to be. If you’re feeling unheard, overwhelmed, or just “off,” you don’t have to sort through it by yourself. Many people come to me because they feel disconnected—from their emotions, their goals, their relationships, or even their sense of self. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you already have the capacity for clarity and change. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s really going on, and help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been ignored or misunderstood for too long.

You need to talk to someone. You're in a stressful place in your life. Not only is your desire for clarity and comfort at its peak, your need to find the right therapist is a leap of faith. Seeing me, you may find our sessions to be empowering, challenging, yet comfortable, and at times humorous. You can become energized by the unfolding of your story, gaining new insights into your thoughts and feelings that are no longer working for you. Many with whom I work find a significant lift by learning to cope with anxiety and depression, without the need for medication.

I have been in practice for over 20 years, working with adults, children and adolescents in psychodynamic therapy and psychoanalysis. The frequency and duration of each treatment depends on the unique needs of every person; for example, a college student may be seeking short-term therapy to deal with the transition from home to school or an adult may be seeking longer term treatment to understand a pattern of failed relationships. Children are often referred by family members or school counselors, who provide valuable background information to help determine the best treatment. Ongoing collaboration with parents and professionals is essential.
