"If you feel stuck, are unhappy but not sure why, are not as proactive as you want to be, my therapy addresses these issues in a timely and active way. Sessions are committed to enhancing your ability to identify what may be in the way of achieving your life goals and dreams and identifying steps to take. I work best with clients who are serious about the work, do homework assignments and set short-term and long-term goals. Many of my clients make lasting profound changes in their lives in a short period of time. My focus is treatment that restores lost purpose, commitment and direction."

I help my clients to understand, persevere, endure, and, ultimately, reclaim their will and sense of purpose. I help people find solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems."

"Bringing a new person into the world and helping them grow can be difficult, exhausting, and incredibly rewarding. Every parent finds challenges - from postpartum depression, to child behavior problems, to family stress and conflict. Parenting often reminds us of relationships with our own parents and can bring up memories of trauma and abuse. Divorce, adoption, and other changes in your family might introduce new difficulties and questions. And for some, non-traditional family structures (single parenting, adoption, blended families, poly families, and/or foster parenting) bring unique stresses."

"I emphasize a more here and now approach to therapy, sometimes referred to as present-centered therapy. I focus on ways to free your mind from past problems and painful memories as well as limit your worry about negative future scenarios. This can help you live your life and relationships more fully now. We will address your concerns together in a collaborative, mutually respectful way.

We will work towards embracing imperfection as part of the human experience, and acceptance as the antidote to suffering."

"**I am not currently accepting new clients.** People come to me feeling disconnected from themselves and what matters most to them in life. For nearly ten years, I have helped people recover from upsetting experiences and toxic relationships that have shaken them to their core. Many of those I help also work in creative fields or are entrepreneurs, the work stresses of which can collide with traumatic pasts and lead to feeling unsettled and unsure of how to relate to people both personally and professionally."
