I believe in your ability to examine the circumstances of your life, gain awareness, and find answers within yourself. Through an exploration of self and personal ability, I hope to help you become more present, authentic, and accepting of yourself. We will also work together to help move you toward inner trustworthiness and self-actualization, experiencing change in yourself.

Life's stressors can sometimes induce emotional tension, physical problems and other related symptoms. This impairs our ability to function at our full potential . The purpose of psychotherapy is to provide a comfortable, safe setting where issues are clearly assessed and a plan for resolution established. As a seasoned clinician, I provide the best opportunity for successfully accomplishing this endeavor. In my established private practice as a psychotherapist, teacher and supervisor, I bring extensive experience and expertise to my clients.

There is no need to face some of life's challenges alone. The mission of my practice is to offer individuals, couples and families, a safe place to explore all of life's possibilities.

I am a licensed psychologist who provides individual, couples, family, and group psychotherapy for individuals across the adult lifespan, ranging from young adults to geriatrics. I place emphasis on establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship in an effort to help clients facilitate meaningful life changes, to ease suffering, and to work toward achieving personal goals.

Heal and move forward with the right therapist in a nurturing setting! To get the most out of therapy, it is important to find a professional that is skilled in creating a safe, affirming therapeutic environment.  I am trained to treat people of all intersecting identities with a broad range of socio-emotional issues to find their way in life. To help my clients work through impasses and uncover deep personal truths, I position myself as an accepting and empathetic guide to promote healing, help people evolve towards a more stable life and, ultimately, attain fulfillment on their terms.

I have been in private practice for 27 years. I have also worked in a school setting for over 30 years. In addition to my clinical experience, I have expertise dealing with school related issues of both mainstream and special education students. I love working with couples, those with anxiety, men dealing with issues of aging, women trying to understand men, health issues, and those with depressed moods. I typically work with adolescents and adults, but am there for parents who need guidance working with their children. I do what works best for each client. We're all individuals and our needs are different.

I have been a practicing social worker for many years. I have a great deal of experience working with adolescents and young adults, as well as families and couples. My specialties include issues with substances--use, abuse and dependence--and family problems. I practice solution based treatment and work within various modalities. Please feel free to give me a call with any questions you may have and we'll see what we can set up.

As a therapist, I strive to be genuine and to create a nonjudgmental environment in which clients can be open and feel accepted. Therapy is a collaborative effort in which I work together with my clients to understand their challenges, identify their obstacles, and set realistic goals to bring about meaningful change in their lives. Therapy is not "one size fits all" and I utilize a style that integrates cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and dynamic interventions, tailoring treatment to the individual needs of each client. Life is challenging and sometimes we can all use a little extra support.

I am a caring and compassionate therapist who is committed to helping people make needed changes in their lives. Sometimes change is not possible and we need the tools to adapt to those situations that are beyond our control. I have supported many clients in the therapeutic relationship to learn about themselves and to focus and build on the strengths that each person has. I have extensive experience with adolescents and children and i have always worked very closely with parents so that we can all work towards the same goals.

You deserve to be happy. Life can be difficult. Don't go it alone. Allow me to help you explore the things that are keeping you "stuck," whether it be relationships, career, health or addiction. Sometimes you just need to process feelings with an objective listener, one that can get to the heart of what's really going on and help you to live life in a more satisfying, productive manner. I have been helping individuals, couples and families move through crises and live happier, healthier lives. I can help you, too!

I believe that everyone has the potential to live happy and fulfilling lives. Many life circumstances and stressors can make this feel extremely difficult. Seeking out help at these times is a very courageous step.

Welcome! I am a psychotherapist who works with people to achieve a personal sense of well-being and vitality. I believe our life struggles are rooted in our unconscious. Due to imperfect childhoods, we develop defenses to help us cope. While we needed these defenses as children, they can become obstacles in our adult life, since they block our true feelings and greatest potential. I will actively collaborate with you to uncover these defenses and empower you to live a full, authentic, and joyful life.

The journey of starting and raising a family is filled with countless twists and turns. Parenthood, from preconception through the toddler phase and beyond, can be stressful, overwhelming, and filled with worry and insecurities. Despite fears and feelings of isolation, you don’t have to tackle this alone. Together we will explore struggles and develop insight into how your experiences may be impacting your current thought patterns and behaviors. We’ll also address your changing identity and expectations, develop realistic strategies to enhance your relationships, achieve your goals, and minimize difficulties in your daily life.

Whether you are new to therapy or seeking out a new therapist, finding a supportive and comfortable environment to work towards lasting change can be overwhelming. I am a warm and caring therapist who will help you to address issues in your life that are causing stress, anxiety, and depression, and to work towards a positive outcome. I have been practicing psychotherapy as a licensed clinical social worker for over 30 years, working with individuals, couples, and families. I believe in solution-focused psychotherapy dealing with the here and now and using the past as a lens through which to understand the present.
