Deciding to come into treatment is never an easy decision even when it feels necessary. I work from a psychoanalytic-psychotherapy approach meaning I'm most interested in what your experience is. What that means is that through careful listening and dialogue, I'll work with you to better identify and understand what may be behind painful symptoms like lack of impulse control, binge eating, depression that's so heavy you can't get out of bed, or the terrible grief that comes from losing a loved one.

While many people come to me feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and defeated, seeking therapy for oneself is actually a sign of strength. It takes a lot to recognize a need for change and to take steps to follow through. In my practice I provide a comfortable, supportive atmosphere to explore alternative ways of living and coping with problems so that life can be more fulfilling and enjoyable. The opportunity to see individuals and families grow and feel better through the therapeutic process is the reason I love my work so much. In addition to providing therapy, I also conduct ADHD screenings and Bariatric surgery screenings.

I have the utmost respect for my clients, because it requires patience, bravery and perseverance to combat OCD. OCD traps us in thought-loops and tries to convince us that we "have to" do something to fight doubt. True freedom lies in tolerating distress while not letting the doubt get in the way of living the life you value. I have a particular passion for working with couples in which one or more partners experience anxiety or OCD. OCD attacks the people and things we care most about, and can be particularly devastating to relationships due to patterns of reassurance-seeking, emotional distress and time-consuming compulsions.

You can change. I believe this because in my twenty years as a therapist, I've been inspired by the work of my clients to overcome grief, trauma and abuse. My years as a therapist have taught me that we are all resilient, we all have strengths and coping skills. My years as a therapist have also taught me that when we go through a crisis, or a series of crises, our coping skills can get overwhelmed.
