"I am a particularly good fit for clients who tend to intellectualize their problems and who are uncomfortable/unaccustomed to tapping into their emotions. I am patient and I will not push you into going deeper than you feel comfortable with at the moment. I know that change and trust are slow processes and I will respect your ability to set the pace of your own therapy. I come from a psychodynamic point of view. So, I am always looking at the ways in which our unconscious directs our behavior and our perceptions. "

There are times that problems interfere with daily life in such a way that it grows into an overwhelming place of emotional discord in our personal and/or professional lives. Stress, anxiety, depression, and premarital/marital issues can be high on the rector scale for mental health therapy. These factors can also be connected to deeper issues related to human behavior. Welcome services are provided for individuals, couples, and families."

I will work with you to meet goals that you set and create a space where you can feel safe, supported, and in control. Together we can face any challenges you have or are going to be facing. "
