Our capacity to connect, both with ourselves (i.e. our passions, feelings, and body) and with others, is crucial to our feelings of well-being. When we connect, we generally feel a sense of aliveness in ourselves and the world. When we can't connect, we feel anxious, isolated, empty, or depressed. I feel my job is to help clients to more fully connect to the range of their experiences. I help adults and adolescents explore why they lose connection. I help them identify, understand, and overcome the deep root of their disconnection. I help them find well-being, which gives me great joy.

Deciding to enter therapy is a difficult process for most people. We may have voices in our head that say we should be able to handle things without needing outside help. This is not at all true. Seeking help is an act of courage and while therapy may explore painful emotions it can also be fun, joyful and enlivening. I work with adults and couples. The majority of clients I see are between the ages of 25-45. My specialties include working with relationship conflict, career stress, family dysfunction, depression, anxiety, trauma and eating disorders.

Depression, anxiety and problems in relationships often cause deep anguish and pain - just getting by each day is tough. We often struggle alone believing things will never get better.

In the safety and privacy of our offices, you will have your therapist's unwavering attention, devoted to helping you untangle the mess that exists in your life. Together, we will help you change what you thought was unchangeable but also accept what you thought was unacceptable.

In addition to working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, or difficulties in their relationships, I have worked for many years with women and men who have experienced childhood sexual, physical or emotional abuse, or adult sexual assault. I have learned from listening to their stories that recurring thoughts and images about the trauma, or less conscious feelings such as fear and worthlessness, or difficulties letting anyone get close, can persist, even if it happened long ago. My focus in therapy is to help you work through these experiences so they no longer prevent you from living more fully in your present life.

Your thoughts. Why does it feel like they work against you. It's like swimming upstream. One small decision can keep you wrapped up for days, thinking and re-thinking your options. Doubting yourself over and over. It would make sense to you if it were a big decision, but it’s the little things that trip you up. If you could just stop, you absolutely would. Your anxiety always seems to get the best of you. You wonder, why can’t you be like everyone else and just let things go? No one else seems as tangled in their thoughts as you feel like you are. You know this isn’t your best life, but without a different path, you’re stuck.
