"I believe a strong therapeutic relationship can change your life. I bring over twenty years of experience to my work with adults, adolescents and couples. I have extensive training in psychodynamic psychotherapy--a depth therapy that can bring about lasting change. Within this framework, my clients can safely explore the emotional injuries of the past and develop healthier and more loving ways of dealing with their relationships. We crave closeness, yet for many, our childhoods have left us poorly prepared. Instead of feeling joy and purpose, we feel misunderstood, lonely and depressed. I work successfully with my clients to transform their lives and their relationships."

"Feeling overwhelmed with uncomfortable emotions, or feeling numb and disengaged? I help clients understand and connect more fully with those they value and themselves. I take a warm, collaborative stance using a combination of relational, attachment, psychodynamic and somatic approaches to help you advance toward your emotional and life goals. Together we discover where and how you get stuck, enabling you to access new ways of being. The result is often much more than symptom relief. Clients gain a stronger mind/body connection, more self acceptance and a greater ability to tolerate difficult feelings and sensations."

"We all live in a world of stories... The meaning we attach to these stories become a template of how we feel about ourselves. The emotional outcome of this thinking can be depression, anxiety and at other times, happiness. What is the meaning of these stories? I believe facts bring us to knowledge, but stories lead us to wisdom. Therapy is a creative and supportive process of getting to know your true self, of re-authoring the old story and writing a new one. Discover who you are... apart from the problem, and find a unexpected path to build inner strength and resources. We all have within us access to a greater wisdom, but we may not know this until we speak out loud. In a place that feels safe enough for us to talk about what is really going on in our lives without fear of being judged, abandoned, or criticized. I bring to therapy a combination of insight, intuition, emotional support and guidance. Therapy can be done through visual storytelling (Art Therapy), writing, and talking with a therapist. Someone who attends to you with acceptance, support and genuine curiosity, exploring how you make sense of your world."

"Experiencing depression, anxiety, grief or relationship problems is never easy, though in reality these can be an unavoidable part of life. When stressors and symptoms outweigh our personal resources, or when they provoke unresolved feelings that interfere with our functioning, a strong support system can be invaluable. Therapy provides a nonjudgmental setting in which to examine issues that we might not readily share with others. It can help us better understand ourselves, our circumstances, and our possibilities.
