"As a therapist for over twenty-five years, I've learned that people are often unaware of how their current issues are connected to experiences and feelings encountered earlier in their lives. I work with patients to help them identify and explore repeating patterns in their lives and how these patterns can be evaluated and changed to improve personal and professional outcomes. My patients have found that therapy is a valuable experience and together we make the process productive and fulfilling."

"The foundation of my practice is a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental experience for individuals and couples to feel understood while processing the core issues that stand in the way of moving forward. People can feel lost or disconnected as they come into therapy, but the experience of emotional risk taking, opening up about fears, anxieties, malaise, within the individual or couple, can reinvigorate emotional connections and intimacy."

"Infertility, pregnancy loss, pregnancy complications, difficult deliveries, and postpartum struggles can stop you in your tracks. It robs you of the joy you should be experiencing during this phase of life. It makes you question your worth and suitability as a mother and as a partner. The plans and dreams you'd had for your family can begin to seem like cruel joke. You may be experiencing disruptions in other areas of your life as well: strained relationship with your partner, trouble focusing at work, feeling disconnected from friends and family. I understand this pain; I've felt it myself."
