I have practiced psychotherapy for thirty years. As clients share their life struggles, I offer support, respect, and practical information on coping strategies. Together, we explore such issues as patterns of attachment and relating, internal self talk, cognitive structures, unresolved traumas and one's personal life narrative.

When working with couples, I facilitate development of healthy communication techniques, conflict resolution skills, and awareness of defenses. I promote attunement to emotional needs so couples can experience intimacy and growth.

I am here to listen and offer guidance in helping heal the wounded heart, mind, and body. I strive to empower clients achieve balance and reach the personal growth that can bring satisfaction in life. Seeking support from a therapist happens for various reasons. Sometimes, a life-changing crisis, transition, or past trauma causes undue stress, anxiety, depression, pain, anger, or other strong states of feelings and the person decides to no longer confront his/her troubles alone.

Buddha's quote "The mind is everything. What you think you become", has always been at the center of my beliefs, both personally and professionally. Therefore, I view therapy as a tool that enables us to transcend beyond our previously adopted and perhaps less effective ways of coping with life's challenges, and begin to relearn new ways of dealing with challenges as they arise. This will in turn open up many new windows to self-awareness, ultimately bringing about personal growth and satisfaction both internally and within the context of our relationships, allowing us to live happier more fulfilled lives.
