I work with individuals and couples going thru infertility, pregnancy loss and adoption.
I have been guiding clients with their personal and relationship struggles for over 20 years. It is an honor and a privilege for me to help people thru their challenges. I help couples to RECONNECT by bringing the SPARK back into the relationship and teaching them a new communication technique. I guide people to achieve their HIGHEST POTENTIAL in all areas of life, so that they may lead a fulfilling and impactful life in true connection with others. Working in a collaborative, empathic and nonjudgmental manner, I help my clients identify and work on the source of their sadness, anxiety, conflict, and dissatisfaction.

You're wondering if you should stay or leave the relationship. Fights are happening more often and you wish you could communicate better with your partner. Perhaps one of you needs to work on yourselves if you want the relationship to last. If you've already experienced a separation, you likely need help coping with some pain or confusion. If you share a child or responsibilities with your ex, you need to figure out a healthy way of coexisting with them. Whether you're gay or straight, you might be single and frustrated with the dating scene - your relationships don't seem to last, or it's been hard to even get one started!

Over the past century, the landscape of psychoanalysis has undergone profound transformations. Since the era of Freud, the field has embraced innovation, birthing a myriad of analytic approaches that refine and expand upon classical psychoanalytic principles. Among these, modern psychoanalysis stands out as a pivotal evolution, offering a gentler, more adaptable approach to understanding and treating the complexities of the human psyche.

Adoption Therapists
Does my adopted child need therapy?
Not every adopted child needs therapy. However, many can benefit from seeing an adoption-informed therapist, especially if they were victims of abuse or neglect, appear withdrawn or disconnected, have behavioral or developmental issues (which may or may not be related to their adoption), are struggling with feelings of grief or loss surrounding their birth parents, or find it difficult to establish an identity, a challenge that often becomes most apparent during adolescence.
When should adoptive parents seek therapy?
Prospective parents can benefit from therapy even before an adoption—for example, to voice worries and fears; to reconcile infertility struggles, if relevant; or simply to prepare themselves for parenthood. After the adoption, parents who are struggling to bond with their child; are unsure how to talk about adoption or related issues, such as race; or whose child is dealing with developmental, behavioral, or psychiatric concerns can address these and other issues with the help of an adoption-competent therapist.
Is family therapy appropriate for adoptive families?
Family therapy can be invaluable for strengthening the bond between adoptive parents and children, helping the latter feel more secure in their place in the family. Family therapy can also help adoptive families navigate complex communication issues—for example, parents who feel uncomfortable discussing race with their child, who in turn feels invalidated by their silence, or a child who has questions about his birth parents but avoids asking them out of fear of hurting his adoptive parents’ feelings.
What therapy is not appropriate for adoption issues?
A discredited therapy known as “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy” or “rebirthing therapy”) should not be used to treat adopted and foster children, though it was largely designed for this population. Attachment therapy involves restraining, coercing, and punishing the child in order for them to “release” negative emotions and attach to their new caregivers—techniques that are abusive and dangerous and have even proven fatal in some cases.
